Street Cart Style Chicken Salad Recipes

Steps:

• Combine boneless chicken thighs with lemon juice, chopped garlic, fresh oregano, coriander, turmeric and olive oil; marinate in the fridge for up to 4 hours.
• Grill the chicken (or cook it in a skillet), then chop it into chunks.
• Toss with a dressing made with equal parts mayonnaise and Greek yogurt, plus some lemon juice and chopped fresh parsley.

Steps:

• Put the lemon juice, olive oil, paprika, cumin, coriander, allspice, turmeric, garlic, 1 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper in a large bowl and stir to combine. Add the chicken and give it a good stir to make sure all the pieces are coated with the marinade. Cover with plastic wrap and marinate, refrigerated, for at least 30 minutes and up to 6 hours.
• Heat a large cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken in batches, making sure not to overcrowd the skillet. Spread the chicken in a single layer and cook, without stirring, 5 to 7 minutes. Stir the chicken, then continue to cook until the chicken is fully cooked, golden and caramelized on all sides, another 5 minutes. Transfer to a plate. Repeat with the remaining chicken. Serve with yellow rice, white sauce, lettuce, tomatoes and pita.

Steps:

• Combine olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, oregano, and coriander in a blender; blend until smooth. Season with salt and pepper.
• Place chicken thighs in a resealable plastic bag; pour in blended marinade and seal. Refrigerate for 3 to 4 hours.
• Whisk yogurt, sriracha sauce, garlic, salt, and pepper together to make the sauce. Refrigerate for 1 hour.
• Preheat a skillet over medium-high heat. Remove chicken from the marinade and pat dry with paper towels. Cook skin-side down until well browned, 4 to 5 minutes. Flip and cook until no longer pink in the center, 4 to 5 minutes more.
• Let chicken for 5 to 10 minutes, then chop into chunks.
• Melt butter in a large Dutch oven over medium heat. Add turmeric and cumin; cook and stir until fragrant. Add rice and stir to coat. Cook, stirring frequently, until toasted, about 4 minutes. Pour in chicken broth and season with salt and pepper. Bring to a boil; reduce heat, cover, and cook until broth is absorbed, about 15 minutes.
• Remove Dutch oven from the heat and let stand, covered, for 15 minutes.
• Divide rice and chicken among serving bowls. Drizzle yogurt sauce on top.

Steps:

• Whisk together mayonnaise, cotija cheese, cilantro, garlic, lime juice, chili powder, hot pepper sauce, and cumin for dressing in a large bowl. Season with salt and pepper.
• Add chicken, corn, and olives to dressing and toss to coat.
• Divide lettuce among 4 bowls and scoop chicken mixture over top. Garnish each salad with avocado slices, cotija cheese, and a cilantro sprig.
