CHICKEN, CORN, AND COUSCOUS SALAD
I got this recipe from Martha Stewart's magazine; originally it did not include the chicken but I wanted to add something so it could be a meal by itself. If you'd rather not have the chicken just use another 1/4 cup couscous and another 1 cup corn instead. This makes just enough for me to have it for dinner and next day's lunch; as a side dish I'm guessing it would be enough for three or four.

Steps:
- Prepare the chicken:
- In a bowl let the chicken marinate in the lime juice with the orégano and salt and pepper to taste, covered and chilled, for at least 30 minutes or up to 1 hour. Drain the chicken, pat it dry, and brush it with the oil. Grill the chicken, seasoned with salt and pepper, on a well-oiled rack set about 6 inches over glowing coals for 6 to 7 minutes on each side, or until it is just cooked through. (Alternately, the chicken can be grilled on top of the stove in a ridged grill pan over moderately high heat for about the same length of time.) Transfer the chicken to a cutting board and let it stand for 10 minutes.
- Make the tortilla crisps while the chicken is grilling:
- In a heavy skillet heat 1/2 inch oil to 375°F. on a deep-fat thermometer and in it fry the tortilla triangles in batches for 45 seconds to 1 minute, or until they are golden, transferring them with a slotted spatula as they are fried to paper towels to drain and sprinkling them with salt. The tortilla crisps may be made 1 day in advance and kept in an airtight container.
- In a large bowl combine the corn, the bell pepper, and the scallions, add the lime juice, the orégano, the cumin, the oil, and salt and black pepper to taste, and toss the mixture until it is combined well. Cut the chicken lengthwise into thin slices and add it to the corn mixture with any juices that have accumulated on the cutting board. Divide the arugula and the tortilla crisps among 4 plates and mound the chicken salad in the center of each plate.

Steps:
- Preheat a grill to about 400 degrees F and clean the grates or preheat a large grill pan over medium-high heat.
- While the grill or grill pan preheats, place 1 of the chicken breasts in a resealable plastic bag and pound out to about 1/2 inch thick with a rolling pin or the flat side of a meat tenderizer. Remove and place on a rimmed baking sheet and repeat with the remaining chicken breast. Drizzle both sides of the chicken with grapeseed oil and liberally season with salt and pepper.
- Grill the chicken until you see grill marks and the chicken bounces back when you press on it, 4 to 5 minutes per side. Grill the corn at the same time, turning occasionally, until charred and bright yellow, 8 to 10 minutes.
- Meanwhile, combine the zoodles with the tomatoes, olives and chopped basil in a large bowl. Once the corn is cool enough to handle, cut off the kernels and add them to the bowl.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the vinegar, olive oil, Dijon, honey, 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper. Pour over the salad and toss. Taste for seasoning, adding more salt or pepper, if needed.
- Thinly slice the chicken. Using tongs, pile the zoodle salad into a large shallow serving bowl, leaving behind any liquid in the bowl. Dollop with spoonfuls of ricotta, then top with the sliced chicken and a few basil leaves. Serve warm or at room temperature.

BARBECUED CHICKEN SALAD WITH CORN, AVOCADO, AND CREAMY POBLANO DRESSING
I have never been able to do the cold-pizza-for-breakfast thing, but there are some foods I just love eating cold the day after-fried or barbecued chicken, for instance. Happily, my local grocery store does rotisserie chicken, either plain or barbecue, and on weeknights when homework is taking forever, I am grateful for this easy main course salad that the kids will actually dig into. For my husband and me, it's all about the creamy, spicy poblano dressing. But for the kids it's strictly ranch-no cilantro, please! For a more substantial meal, serve this with corn bread or, better yet, jalapeño corn bread (add chopped pickled jalapeños to your favorite recipe).
Yield makes 4 servings
Number Of Ingredients 13
Steps:
- Toss all the ingredients except dressing in a salad bowl, then toss in the dressing or serve it on the side.
- Place all the ingredients in a blender and puree until smooth. Adjust seasonings as necessary.
- Feel free to also add red peppers, tomatoes, and cotija (an aged Mexican cheese) or any crumbly white cheese to the salad. This salad is also delicious with corn bread croutons. Day-old corn bread actually works best, because it will be drier. If you use fresh, you can dry it out in a 350°F oven for a few minutes.) Cut the corn bread into cubes, toss them with a little melted butter, and toast in a 350°F oven until golden brown and crisp. Let them cool, and toss with the salad.
- Grilled corn has a sweet, smoky flavor that's great on its own (eaten off the cob with butter and a squirt of lime) and in salads. You'll want to grill the corn in its husk, because this preserves moisture and imparts a distinctive sweet and "corny" flavor. Simply soak the ears in cold water for about 20 minutes. Place them directly on a medium-low grill or over pale gray coals, and cover. Grill for about 20 minutes, turning the cobs every 5 minutes to ensure even cooking. As with any cooked corn, you'll know it's done when the kernels are tender and release a milky liquid when pierced. Peel away the husk and silk and serve as you wish.
- To roast fresh poblanos or other peppers or chiles, place them directly on the grill over a low flame on a gas range, or on a baking sheet under a broiler, and char until evenly blackened, turning as necessary. Transfer peppers to a bowl and cover with a hand towel for about 5 minutes to steam the peppers (this will make their skins easier to remove). Alternatively, you can steam the peppers in a sealed plastic bag. Use your paring knife and/or your fingers to remove the stem, seeds, and skin from the peppers and use the smoky flesh as directed in the recipe.
RAW CORN, ARUGULA, AND PECORINO SALAD WITH GRILLED CHICKEN BREAST
Provided by Michael Chiarello : Food Network
Categories main-dish
Time 40m
Yield 4 servings
Number Of Ingredients 22
Steps:
- Prepare a grill or grill pan. Season both sides of the chicken with spice rub, salt and pepper. Brush the chicken breasts on both sides with olive oil. Grill skin side down, until well-browned and cooked through, about 8 minutes on each side.
- While the chicken is cooking, make the salad. Combine the corn kernels, arugula, and oregano in a bowl. Add desired amount of citrus vinaigrette, toss, and season with salt and pepper. With a vegetable peeler, shave the pecorino onto the salad. Toss lightly.
- Slice chicken into bite size pieces, place on top of salad and serve.
- Toast the fennel seeds, coriander seeds, and peppercorns in a small, heavy pan over medium heat. When the fennel turns light brown, work quickly and add the red pepper flakes, and toss. Immediately turn the spice mixture out onto a plate to cool. Put mixture in a blender with the chili powder, salt, and cinnamon and blend until the spices are evenly ground. If you have a small spice mill or a coffee grinder dedicated to grinding spices, grind only the fennel, coriander, pepper, and chili flakes. Pour into a bowl and toss with the remaining ingredients. Keep the spice mix in a glass jar in a cool, dry place, or freeze.
- Cut off and discard the stem ends of 2 oranges. Cut into quarters, cut out the core, and pull out seeds. Place in a blender or food processor. Squeeze the juice from the remaining orange into the blender and add the red onion, sage, salt, and pepper. Pulse and then blend the fruit until as smooth as possible. With the machine running, add the olive oil in a thin, steady stream. The vinaigrette will be thick like a mayonnaise. If it is too thick, with the machine still on, thin with a little warm water. Taste for seasoning. Cover and refrigerate for up to 3 days. If the vinaigrette separates, shake it up in a jar or return it to the blender and blend until smooth again.
BARLEY SALAD WITH CHICKEN, CORN, AND SCALLIONS
Steps:
- Place chicken in a medium saucepan and cover with water. Bring to a boil, season with salt, and reduce to a bare simmer. Cover and cook 5 minutes. Remove from heat and let chicken stand, covered, until cooked through, 12 to 14 minutes more. Using tongs, remove chicken from liquid. When cool enough to handle, shred meat into bite-size pieces.
- In a medium pot of boiling salted water, cook barley according to package instructions. Drain and let cool.
- Meanwhile, preheat oven to 450°F. Place scallions and corn on a rimmed baking sheet. Toss with 1 tablespoon oil and season with salt and pepper. Spread in a single layer and roast, stirring halfway through, until tender and golden, about 25 minutes.
- In a large bowl, combine chicken, barley, scallion mixture, tomatoes, parsley, 1 tablespoon oil, and 1 tablespoon lime juice; season with salt and pepper. In a medium bowl, toss spinach with remaining 1 tablespoon oil and 2 teaspoons lime juice; season with salt and pepper. Serve spinach with chicken-barley mixture.
