BBQ Chicken Chopped Salad

-
Recipe by: Shanon
This healthy salad was adapted from one I ate at California Pizza Kitchen. The lime juice intensified by the jicama draws out the flavor of the vegetables, so an oil- or cream-based dressing is not necessary.

Ingredients
21 m 6 servings 280cals
  • 1 head romaine lettuce, chopped 
  • 1 (15 ounce) can black beans, rinsed and drained 
  • 1 (15 ounce) can sweet corn, drained 
  • 1 red bell pepper, chopped 
  • 1 cup peeled, shredded jicama 
  • 1 cup shredded carrots 
  • 4 scallions, thinly sliced 
  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh basil 
  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro 
  • 3 limes, divided 
  • 1 (6 ounce) package cooked chicken breast strips (such as Foster Farms®) 
  • 2 tablespoons barbeque sauce 
  • 1 avocado - peeled, pitted, and cubed

Directions
Prep 20m  Cook 1h   Ready in 21m
  1. Mix lettuce, black beans, corn, red bell pepper, jicama, carrots, scallions, basil, and cilantro together in a large bowl. Juice 2 limes and drizzle juice over salad; toss lightly.
  2. Combine chicken and barbeque sauce in a microwave-safe bowl; heat in microwave until chicken is warmed through, about 45 seconds.
  3. Arrange chicken and avocado on top of the salad and squeeze remaining lime over salad.

Curry Stand Chicken Tikka Masala Sauce

A classic curry-stand recipe. This is not haute cuisine; this is the kind of nuclear-orange tikka masala that you crave when you stumble out of a pub at 2 a.m. I make vast quantities of the sauce at one time, and it freezes very well. I also added much more cayenne pepper than 1 teaspoon, but I give out the recipe like this for people who don't like heat Recipe by: Chris Bellers  Ingredients 1 h 20 m 6servings 328cals 2 tablespoons ghee (clarified butter)  1 onion, finely chopped  4 cloves garlic, minced  1 tablespoon ground cumin  1 teaspoon salt  1 teaspoon ground ginger  1 teaspoon cayenne pepper  1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon  1/4 teaspoon ground turmeric  1 (14 ounce) can tomato sauce  1 cup heavy whipping cream  2 teaspoons paprika  1 tablespoon white sugar  1 tablespoon vegetable oil  4 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves, cut into bite-size pieces  1/2 teaspoon curry powder  1/2 teaspoon salt, or to taste (optional)  1 teaspoon white sugar
