Provided by Jennifer Irvine

Categories     Main course

Time 25m

Number Of Ingredients 19

1 tsp rapeseed oil
½ tsp dried oregano
½ tsp dried thyme
1 tsp smoked or regular paprika
¼ tsp cayenne pepper
1 garlic clove , finely chopped
4 skinless, boneless chicken breasts (each weighing 140g)
200g black-eyed bean from a can, drained (or butter or cannellini beans)
2 tomatoes , deseeded and diced
85g sweetcorn from a can, drained
2 spring onions , trimmed and finely chopped
25g semi-dried tomato in oil from a jar, roughly chopped
zest and juice 1 lime
small handful coriander , finely chopped
1 avocado , stoned and peeled
¼ red chilli , deseeded and finely chopped
½ tbsp olive oil
juice 1 lime
small handful coriander , finely chopped

Steps:

  • Mix together the oil, herbs, spices and garlic in a large sealable bag. Put the chicken breasts in the bag and mix thoroughly to cover. Bash the chicken with a rolling pin to flatten it a little, then set aside to marinate for at least 15 mins.
  • In a large bowl, mix all the ingredients for the bean salad. Stir well and set aside.
  • For the guacamole, scoop the flesh from the avocado and put it in a medium bowl, chopping it roughly with the side of the spoon. Add the rest of the ingredients and mix well. If you prefer your guacamole to be smoother, mash the avocado well with the olive oil and lime juice until it's at your preferred consistency before stirring in the other ingredients.
  • Heat the grill. Line a grill pan with foil, place the chicken breasts on it and grill for 5 mins, checking occasionally. Once golden brown, turn and grill for a further 5-7 mins. Check the middle of the breasts after 5 mins and, if cooked through, remove from the heat.
  • Set aside 2 chicken breasts and 2 tbsp guacamole for Open rye sandwich (see 'goes well with', right). Place 1 warm chicken breast on each plate, with some bean salad and a dollop of guacamole on the side.

CHEF'S SALAD WITH GRILLED CHICKEN AND BLACK PEPPER RANCH



Chef's Salad with Grilled Chicken and Black Pepper Ranch image

I thoroughly enjoyed eating this salad for dinner, but my favorite bites were the chunks of sharp Cheddar, lettuce, dressing, cucumber, and chicken. This is a classic ranch dressing ratio, so it hits your taste buds the way it should. The black pepper is not oppressive as it's balanced out by the tangy buttermilk and creamy mayo. Can't go wrong with this!

Tips:

  • When grilling chicken, use a marinade to help keep it moist and flavorful. A simple marinade can be made with olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, and herbs.
  • To prevent the chicken from sticking to the grill, brush the grates with oil before cooking.
  • Cook the chicken over medium heat until it is cooked through. This will help to prevent it from drying out.
  • Let the chicken rest for a few minutes before cutting into it. This will help the juices to redistribute throughout the meat.
  • When making the black bean salad, use fresh, ripe ingredients for the best flavor.
  • If you don't have fresh cilantro, you can use dried cilantro instead. Just be sure to use a light hand, as dried cilantro can be quite strong.
  • Serve the grilled calypso chicken and black bean salad immediately, while the chicken is still warm.

Conclusion:

Grilled calypso chicken and black bean salad is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a summer cookout or potluck. The chicken is marinated in a flavorful blend of spices, then grilled until it is cooked through. The black bean salad is made with fresh, ripe ingredients and is tossed in a light and tangy vinaigrette. This dish is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it.
