Time 30m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 15

1 3- to 4-pound chicken, cut up and skinned
Juice 1 lemon
1 teaspoon Creole pepper (or substitute chili powder)
Coarse salt to taste
Flour for dredging
Vegetable shortening for deep frying
1 cup mayonnaise (preferably homemade)
1 tablespoon fresh thyme (or half teaspoon dried)
1 tablespoon fresh tarragon (or half teaspoon dried)
1 jalapeno chili, minced
6 scallions, chopped
Freshly ground pepper to taste
3 tablespoons olive oil
1 tablespoon tarragon vinegar
1 small head red-leaf lettuce (or bibb or Boston)

Steps:

  • Marinate the chicken in a mixture of the lemon juice and Creole pepper for a couple of hours.
  • Heat the shortening until smoking. Season the chicken pieces with salt and dredge them lightly with flour. Fry until golden brown and drain on paper towels.
  • Meanwhile, combine the mayonnaise with the thyme, tarragon, chili and scallions. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Mix the olive oil and vinegar in a separate bowl and season. Toss the lettuce leaves in the dressing and arrange on a platter.
  • When the chicken is cool enough to handle, cut it in slices. Coat with the mayonnaise and place in the center of the lettuce leaves.

I used a store-bought rotisserie chicken to save time. It worked perfectly and the salad was still delicious.

I'm a vegetarian, so I substituted tofu for the chicken. It turned out great! The tofu was crispy and flavorful, and the salad was just as delicious.
