Spiced Chicken Salad Recipes

Steps:

• Remove all the meat from BBQ chicken and discard bones and skin. Cut into cubes.
• Cut all vegetables to cubes too.
• Mix the vegetables and the chicken together in a large bowl.
• In another bowl, prepare the sauce by mixing all the incredients together. The sauce is supposed to have a strong taste, and make sure to taste it so that it's to your liking.
• Mix the sauce and the salad together, and place in a sealed container. Stores for hours in a cool place.

Steps:

• On a large serving platter or in a large bowl arrange chopped lettuce, peppers, and cucumber.
• Heat olive oil in pan over medium heat and add sliced onions. Liberally salt onions to bring out natural sweetness and help them caramelize.
• Once onions are a nice brown color, remove from heat and place on top of lettuce.
• Add a little more olive oil to the pan and add diced garlic. Be careful not to let it burn.
• Season chicken with salt, cumin and chili powder and add to pan with garlic.
• Once chicken is cooked through, remove from heat to cool.
• Pour drippings and garlic from the pan over the vegetables.
• Shred chicken and top salad with it.
• In a small bowl combine: lemon juice, mayonnaise, vinegar, sugar, a shake of cumin, a shake of chili powder, salt and pepper. Whisk well.
• Drizzle dressing over salad and serve immediately.

Steps:

• Toss chicken, celery and onions in large bowl.
• Mix next 5 ingredients until blended. Add to chicken mixture; mix lightly.
• Refrigerate several hours or until chilled. Serve each portion with 1 cup grapes and 5 crackers.

Steps:

• In a bowl, combine half the yogurt with the spices, half the garlic, the lemon zest and ½ tsp salt. Tip in the chicken and stir well to coat. Cover and leave to marinate in the fridge for at least 30 mins or overnight.
• Mix the grated cucumber and the remaining garlic into the remaining yogurt, then season with a pinch each of salt and pepper. Set aside in the fridge.
• Mix the finely chopped cucumber and lettuce together, then squeeze over one of the lemon halves and season with a good pinch of salt. Cut the remaining lemon half into quarters. Heat the grill to high or a large griddle pan over a high heat.
• Thread the marinated chicken pieces onto metal skewers, put on a tray and cook under a hot grill or in the griddle pan for 10-12 mins, turning often to ensure it cooks evenly and is charred in places. Warm the flatbreads under the grill or in a toaster.
• Serve the chicken in the flatbreads with the chopped salad and cucumber yogurt. Drizzle with hot sauce before serving, if you like.

Steps:

• Whisk together soy sauce, sesame oil, olive oil, vinegar, peanut butter, cayenne pepper, ginger, garlic, and serrano in a small bowl; set aside.
• Toast spelt kernels in a dry skillet on medium-high heat until the kernels are browned and some have popped. Remove, place in a mesh strainer, and rinse well with cold water. Drain. Bring 6 cups of water to a boil in a large saucepan; add 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt and stir in spelt kernels. Return to a boil then cover, reduce heat to low, and simmer until tender, about 1 hour. Drain well and set aside to cool.
• While the spelt is simmering, fill a skillet with 1 quart water, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and onion. Bring to a boil over high heat. Add chicken breasts, reduce the heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer until the chicken is cooked through, about 15 minutes. Remove chicken from liquid and allow to cool.
• Once chicken is cool enough to handle, shred into bite-sized chunks and place in a large bowl. Stir in spelt, bell pepper, green onions, parsley, cilantro, carrots, and cabbage. Pour sauce over salad and stir well to combine.
