Ingredients:
- 1/2 lbs chicken breasts, thinly sliced
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp spanish paprika
- 1/4 tsp black pepper
- a sprig of fresh thyme
- 1 tbsp lemon juice
- 1 peach
- 2 bunch of romaine lettuce, halved lengthwise
- 1 avocado
Lemony Thyme Dressing:
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp black pepper
- 1/2 lemon, juiced
- 1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
- 1/2 tsp capers, chopped
- 1 spring of fresh thyme
Directions:
- Marinate thinly sliced chicken breasts with salt, spanish paprika, black pepper, fresh thyme and lemon juice for a few minutes while prepping the rest of ingredients.
- In a small mason jar, add all of the ingredients for dressing. Put the lid on and shake until dressing emulsifies.
- Brush some cooking oil on the grill before preheating it on medium-high.
- Halve a peach and avocado. Drizzle some cooking oil + a pinch of salt and black pepper on halved avocado, peach and romaine lettuce before throwing it on the hot grill.
- Grill veggies for a minute.
- Remove grilled veggies onto a huge platter and throw on marinated chicken breasts. Cook for 3 minutes on each side, depending on thickness of sliced meat or until meat is fully cooked. Remove meat on a foil and wrap to rest and keep it warm.
- Slice and chop veggies + meat to desired size or shape for the salad. Dump it all into a huge bowl. Give the dressing a little shake before drizzling it over chopped salad.
- Serve immediately or at room temperature.
I experimented with different plating. The finely chopped presentation above goes well if you want to serve this as an appetizer or a side. But if this is the main course, roughly chop everything to bite size pieces.
And now, I’m off to have more grilled salad for lunch. Have a great week, friends 🙂
What are you very good at: grilling? baking? or both?
