Chicken And Celery Salad With Wasabi Tahini Dressing Recipes

Steps:

• Mix 2 tablespoons lemon juice, olive oil, za'atar, garlic, salt, and pepper together in a gallon-sized plastic zip-top bag. Add chicken tenders and refrigerate, turning occasionally, 30 minutes to 12 hours.
• Preheat an outdoor grill for medium-high heat and lightly oil the grate.
• Place chicken tenders on the grate, reduce heat to medium, and cover. Grill until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of a tender registers 165 degrees F (74 degrees C), 4 to 5 minutes per side.
• Remove chicken from grill and let rest. Prepare the salad in the meantime; place romaine pieces in a large bowl and add tomatoes, bell pepper, cucumber, and carrot.
• Combine lemon zest and juice, tahini, water, garlic, and date in the bowl of a mini food processor or a blender. Pulse several times, adding water by tablespoons if necessary, until desired consistency is achieved. Season with salt and pepper. Pour dressing into the salad bowl and toss.
• Divide salad between plates. Slice each chicken tender crosswise into 1/4-inch slices and place over the salads. Garnish with chives and mint.

Steps:

• In a medium pot, cover chicken breasts with about 2 inches of water, and season with 2 tablespoons kosher salt. Bring to a boil over high heat, then simmer on low until the chicken is cooked through, about 20 minutes. Once the chicken is cooked, remove it from the pot and let cool.
• While the chicken cools, make the dressing: In a medium bowl, whisk together lime juice, tahini, wasabi paste, garlic, sugar and 1/4 cup water until smooth. Season to taste with salt.
• Cut celery into 2-inch segments, then cut segments lengthwise into matchsticks and place in a large bowl.
• Using two forks or hands, shred the chicken into bite-size pieces and transfer to the bowl with the celery.
• Pour dressing over the chicken and celery and toss to coat. Top with celery leaves and sesame seeds, and serve with lime wedges.

Steps:

• Put oven rack in middle position and preheat oven to 450°F.
• Rub chicken with oil in a shallow baking pan (1 inch deep) and sprinkle with pepper and 1 teaspoon salt. Roast chicken until just cooked through, 40 to 45 minutes.
• While chicken roasts, blend tahini, water, lemon juice, garlic, sugar, and remaining teaspoon salt in a blender until smooth.
• Blanch sugar snaps in a 2-quart saucepan of 1 minute, then drain in a colander. Rinse under cold running water to stop cooking and drain well.
• When chicken is cool enough to handle, remove skin and discard. Remove meat from bones in large pieces, discarding bones, then pull meat into 1/3-inch-wide strips and transfer to a large bowl. Add sugar snaps, bell pepper, and dressing and toss to coat. Sprinkle with sesame seeds.

Steps:

• Heat broiler.
• Place chicken on rack of broiler pan sprayed with cooking spray. Broil, 6 inches from heat, 6 to 7 min. on each side or until done (165ºF). Cool slightly; cut into thin strips.
• Combine chicken, onions and carrots in large bowl. Refrigerate until ready to serve.
• Whisk dressing, tahini, water and crushed pepper until blended. Top cabbage with chicken mixture. Drizzle with dressing mixture; sprinkle with nuts.

Steps:

• Combine avocado oil, lemon juice, garlic, pepper, cumin, paprika, kosher salt, turmeric, and red pepper flakes in a small bowl and whisk to combine.
• Place chicken thighs into a gallon-sized resealable bag and pour the marinade over. Rub the marinade into the chicken with clean hands, then press the air out of the bag, seal, and place in the refrigerator. Marinate for at least 3 hours, or up to overnight.
• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C).
• Remove chicken from the marinade and place it onto a rimmed baking sheet. Pour any excess marinade over the chicken.
• Roast in the preheated oven until no longer pink in the centers, about 30 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C). Set aside to cool slightly, then slice into 1/2-inch strips.
• Place tahini, olive oil, 1/4 cup water, lemon juice, salt, and pepper for dressing into a blender. Blend until emulsified, adding additional water as needed to reach desired consistency.
• Chop romaine and butter lettuces. Place in a large bowl and toss to combine with parsley and mint. Layer tomatoes, cucumber, and red onion over the herb salad base. Top with chicken and drizzle with dressing to taste. Serve immediately.
