Grilled Chicken Grill Salad 09/16/2011
Total time: 30 mintues. Hands on time: 30 minutes. Serves 4. I like this dish because the grilled chicken and chickpeas provide a nice source of lean protein in a dish that feels light and flavorful for the summer. Flat bread rounds out a good meal. Ingredients: 3 Tbs lemon juice (divided) 3 Tbs olive oil (divided) 3 tsp minced garlic (divided) 1 tsp salt (divided) 1 tsp pepper (divided) 1 1/2 tsp ground cumin (divided) 2 boned, skinned chicken breasts (1 lb total) 2 tsp tahini 1 can chickpeas, drained and rinsed 2 large tomatoes, chopped 1/2 red onion, thinly sliced 1/2 chopped red pepper 3 chopped cucumbers 1/2 cup chopped fresh parsley 6 oz cubed feta cheese 1/2 cup kalameta olives Directions: Heat grill to high. Create a marinade by mixing 1 Tbs each lemon juice, olive oil, 1 tsp garlic, 1/2 tsp each salt, pepper, and cumin. Coat chicken with marinade and let sit for 5 minutes. Grill chicken, turning once, until it is cooked through and browned, about 10 minutes. Let rest, covered for five minutes and slice. Whisk together remaining 2 Tbs each lemon juice and olive oil, 2 tsp garlic, 1/2 tsp each salt and pepper, and 1 tsp cumin with the tahini in a large bowl to make dressing. Add vegetables, cheese, chicken and toss with dressing in large bowl. Divide into portions and sprinkle with parsley. Serve with flat bread.
