Chicken Fajita Salad
Chicken Fajita Salad
This is one of the easiest and least time consuming recipes you'll find out there. Not only does it taste great, but it is so flexible for a family. At our house we often use this as normal fajitas with healthy tortilla's or when we are watching our diet a little better we will use this as a fajita salad and keep the chips, tortillas and dairy to a minimum. It doesn't matter because this still tastes incredible.
The Recipe
1 orange juiced
2 limes juiced
3 T canola oil
2 garlic cloves pressed
1 jalapeno, seeded and minced
3 T fresh cilantro
1 T cumin
2 t salt
3 lb of chicken breast
Marinade chicken in mixture overnight, or all day and grill for dinner.
Grilling Tips
- When grilling chicken the first thing to remember is that you need to cook the chicken to the right temperature - 180 degrees F for a whole chicken or 170 degrees F for chicken breast
- Grease the rack - to avoid sticking while cooking chicken spray the grill with non-stick spray BEFORE you light the grill
- Don't put sauces on until the last five minutes of grilling to avoid charring
- Cook over medium heat to avoid charring
- Sear the meat over direct heat initially then move to indirect heat to finish the inside and keep the meat juicy
