BACON-WRAPPED GRILLED CHICKEN SALAD WITH AVOCADO AND LIME



Bacon-Wrapped Grilled Chicken Salad With Avocado and Lime image

Wrap your chicken with bacon, grill it and drizzle it with this nearly green goddess, almost-guacamole dressing and you might even convert burger eaters into salad fiends. Covering the butterflied breasts in bacon helps baste the lean chicken and accelerates char as fat melts onto the coals. Flare-ups are inevitable, but don't be alarmed: They will ensure rich color on the bacon while protecting the breast from overcooking. When assembling the salad, avoid weighing down the leaves with hot and heavy toppings: Dollop plenty of the dressing on the plate first, and layer most of the chicken and fudgy eggs below the lightly dressed leaves. There should be a little leftover dressing to satisfy the people that will want to dip each bite of chicken into the herby, lime-laced avocado.

Time 1h15m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 17

4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 10 ounces each)
1 1/2 teaspoons flaky sea salt
1/8 teaspoon black pepper
16 slices bacon
1/2 cup any and all soft herbs, such as tarragon, dill, parsley or cilantro, plus more for garnish
2 teaspoons sea salt
1 garlic clove
1/4 cup fresh lime juice (from 2 limes)
3 ripe avocados
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
1/8 teaspoon black pepper
2 jalapeños, thinly sliced into rounds
2 1/2 pounds any mixture of crunchy salad leaves: endive, watercress, radicchio, romaine or Little Gems (about 4 quarts)
Olive oil, as needed
Kosher salt
4 fudgy soft-boiled eggs, peeled and halved
Lime wedges, for serving

Steps:

  • Take the chicken breasts out of the fridge to come to room temperature. Soak wooden toothpicks or skewers in water while you ready your grill. Clean the grate thoroughly and build a hot fire. This chicken needs to be cooked over intense, direct heat.
  • While the coals heat, butterfly the chicken breasts: On a chopping board, place one hand on top of the breast, and slice into its side, starting at the thick end and moving toward the thin point. Make sure not to cut all the way through. Then, open up the breast, cover with plastic wrap and, using a rolling pin, roll the chicken to an even thickness of 1/2 inch; set aside.
  • Prepare the dressing: Crush the herbs, salt and garlic in a pestle until you have a thick, bright-green paste (or finely chop them); stir in the lime juice. Scoop the avocados into the pestle and crush, then stir in the oil, pepper and half the jalapeños. Prepare the salad components so they're ready to be assembled when the chicken is cooked.
  • When the coals are burning red and the grill hisses when you drop water on it, salt and pepper the chicken breasts on both sides. Lay 4 slices of bacon flat on each breast crosswise, then turn the chicken over and fold the bacon ends over like you're wrapping a parcel. Secure the ends of the bacon with toothpicks or skewers.
  • Place the bacon-wrapped breasts on the grill, with the side without the toothpicks facing down. There will be some flare-ups as the bacon fat hits the coals; if it's burning, pull the parcels off the grill and give the coals a few minutes to cool. Otherwise, when the parcels have nice color on the first side, after about 3 or 4 minutes, flip them over. Cook on the second side until cooked through, about 2 to 4 minutes more; transfer to a cutting board to rest.
  • Assemble the salad: Toss the leaves with about 1/3 of the avocado dressing and some additional olive oil to thin it. Use your hands to toss until coated and season to taste with salt.
  • Pull the toothpicks or skewers out of the bacon-wrapped breasts and slice them into strips. Dollop 1/3 of the avocado dressing onto the serving platter, then arrange the leaves, chicken and eggs on top. Dollop with the remaining avocado dressing to taste. Finish with more herbs, remaining jalapeños, lime wedges and some extra olive oil for gloss.

Number Of Ingredients 6

4 slices bacon, chopped
2 avocados, peeled, pitted and cubed
3 green onions, finely chopped
1/2 cup sour cream
1 tablespoon lemon juice, salt to taste
4 leaves of red leaf lettuce

Steps:

  • Cook the chopped bacon in a skillet over medium heat until crisp. With a slotted spoon, remove bacon to a paper towel. Drain fat.
  • In a large bowl, gently combine avocados, bacon, green onions, sour cream, lemon juice, and salt.
  • Arrange salad leaves on plates, and spoon avocado salad on top.

Tips:

  • Select ripe avocados: For the creamiest and best-tasting salad, choose avocados that are ripe but not overripe. Look for avocados that have a deep green or black skin and yield to gentle pressure when squeezed.
  • Use high-quality bacon: The quality of the bacon can make a big difference in the flavor of the salad. Opt for thick-cut bacon that is smoked or cured using traditional methods.
  • Cook the bacon until crispy: For the best texture and flavor, cook the bacon until it is crispy. This will help it hold its shape in the salad and add a satisfying crunch.
  • Use a variety of lettuces: To add texture and flavor to the salad, use a mix of lettuces. Some good options include romaine, arugula, and butterhead lettuce.
  • Add other vegetables: Feel free to add other vegetables to the salad, such as cherry tomatoes, cucumbers, or red onions. This will add color, flavor, and nutrition to the dish.
  • Make a flavorful dressing: The dressing is an important part of any salad, and this bacon avocado salad is no exception. Use a dressing that is flavorful and complements the other ingredients in the salad. A simple vinaigrette or a creamy ranch dressing are both good options.

Conclusion:

Bacon avocado salad is a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed as a main course or a side dish. It is a great way to use up leftover bacon and avocados, and it is also a healthy and satisfying meal. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can create a delicious and memorable salad that will be enjoyed by all.
