Chipotle Chicken Salad

1/18/2021

0 Comments

 
I shared a salad I was eating on my story one time and got soooo many requests for the honey chipotle dressing that I was using! It's inspired by the chipotle vinaigrette salad dressing at Chipotle! The main components of it are chipotle peppers, red wine vinegar and honey! It's so good, and also really good when mixed with greek yogurt to make a chip dip!!

Feel free to customize this salad with whatever you like. I like doing a mix of romaine lettuce with iceberg and then adding charred corn, black beans, diced red onion, cheese, a few crushed tortilla chips and then a small dollop of greek yogurt. (Also, you don't have to use chicken, you could do ground beef or a vegetarian option!)

The dressing recipe makes a little more than a cup of dressing and it can last in the fridge for 7-10 days. Since the salad portion mainly depends on how much lettuce you use, I'll leave it up to you to eyeball that part. I recommend cooking one piece of chicken per person having a salad!

What you need
For the dressing:
  • 3/4 cup neutral oil of choice (I used vegetable)
  • 1/2 cup red wine vinegar
  • 3 tbsp honey
  • 1/2 tsp dried oregano
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 2 chipotle peppers in adobo sauce
  • 2 garlic cloves
For the salad:
  • Chicken - breast or thighs, (one piece per person eating salad)
  • Lettuce - I prefer chopped romaine and iceberg
  • Corn kernels, either canned of sliced fresh off a cob
  • Black beans
  • Red onion, diced
  • Cheese
  • Greek Yogurt

What to do
For the dressing:
  1. Combine all ingredients in a food processor and blend until smooth.
For the salad:
  1. Dice the chicken and season it with a few dashes of cayenne pepper, garlic powder and salt. (I like to add a spoonful or two of the adobo sauce from the peppers used in the dressing, but this is optional.) 
  2. Let the chicken marinate for at least a half hour or overnight before cooking thoroughly in a skillet.
  3. After the chicken is done, cook the corn kernels in the same skillet just to char them a bit.
  4. Next, cut up the lettuce and rinse it off with cold water.
  5. Assemble the salad with lettuce first, then corn, beans, and red onion. Then add the chicken and cheese and pour the salad dressing over the top. I always finish with a dollop of greek yogurt and then a few crunchy tortilla chips!
