CHICKEN BACON RANCH SALAD



Chicken Bacon Ranch Salad image

I always seem to have leftover cooked chicken. This simple, tasty salad is a great use of your leftover chicken, either white meat, dark meat, or a combination! Romaine lettuce, cooked chicken, avocado, and cherry tomatoes combine with ranch dressing, and everything is topped off with crunchy bacon. Use purchased ranch salad dressing, or stir up one of the buttermilk dressing recipes on the site. Enjoy for a hearty lunch with some crackers, or for dinner, with a crusty bread. This recipe is proportioned for one person, but it's easy to double or triple for your needs.

LEMON CHICKEN WITH AVOCADO-CORN SALSA



Lemon Chicken with Avocado-Corn Salsa image

Avocados in the salsa supply a generous portion of monounsaturated fat and fiber. If fresh corn is not in season, opt for frozen; it will taste better and have more nutrients than any "fresh" corn in the grocery store.

Yield serves 4

Number Of Ingredients 13

4 boneless, skinless chicken breast halves (6 to 8 ounces each)
1/4 cup plus 2 teaspoons extra-virgin olive oil
2 tablespoons plus 2 teaspoons fresh lemon juice (from 1 to 2 lemons)
2 ears corn, husks and silks removed (or 1 cup frozen corn kernels)
2 teaspoons finely chopped red jalapeño chiles (ribs and seeds removed for less heat, if desired)
2 tablespoons minced peeled fresh ginger
1/2 cup canned black beans, drained and rinsed
1/2 red onion, finely chopped
1/4 cup fresh lime juice (from 3 to 4 limes)
10 cherry tomatoes, quartered
2 firm, ripe Hass avocados, halved lengthwise, pitted, peeled, and diced
Coarse salt and freshly ground pepper
4 ounces baby arugula

Steps:

  • Combine chicken with 2 tablespoons each oil and lemon juice in a shallow baking dish. Cover and marinate in refrigerator for 1 to 3 hours, turning once.
  • Working in a large bowl, stand each ear of corn on its flat end; shave off kernels with a serrated knife (to yield about 1 cup total).
  • Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a medium skillet over medium. Add corn kernels, chiles, and ginger; cook, stirring frequently, until softened, 3 to 4 minutes. Let cool.
  • Heat a grill (or grill pan) to medium (if using a charcoal grill, coals are ready when you can hold your hand 5 inches above grates for just 6 to 8 seconds). Grill chicken until lightly browned and cooked through, about 5 minutes per side. Remove from heat.
  • Stir together black beans, onion, corn mixture, lime juice, and 1 tablespoon oil. Add tomatoes, avocados, and 1/2 teaspoon salt (or to taste); season with pepper, and stir gently to combine.
  • Toss arugula with remaining 2 teaspoons each oil and lemon juice. Divide evenly among plates, and top with chicken and avocado-corn salsa. Serve immediately.
