CILANTRO LIME CHICKEN

Steps:

• Make the marinade of garlic, cilantro, ground peppercorns, sugar, lime juice, fish sauce, soy sauce and sunflower oil.
• Blend well.
• Place chicken breasts with marinade in a shallow dish or resealable plastic bag, coating them well, and set in the refrigerator at least 1 hour and no more than 2, turning them from time to time.
• Preheat a ridged griddle pan or heavy non-stick frying pan and cook the chicken for 7-8 minutes each side until the chicken is cooked through.
• Serve hot or cold, garnished with cilantro leaves.

CILANTRO-LIME CHICKEN SALAD

Steps:

• Combine the lime peel strip, soy sauce, and chicken cubes. Place in a resealable plastic bag and marinate 1 hour, or longer.
• Heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Remove the chicken from the marinade and discard the marinade.
• Stir-fry the chicken cubes in the olive oil, until opaque and slightly browned.
• In a separate bowl, whisk together the lime juice, olive oil, honey, garlic, salt, and pepper. Stir in the chopped cilantro. Mix well, pour over the chicken.

BLT PIZZA

Steps:

• In a bowl, combine mayonnaise, basil, garlic powder and onion powder; refrigerate for 1/2 hour or more.
• Place the pizza crust on an ungreased 12-inch pizza pan.
• Spread mayonnaise mixture over crust.
• Set aside 1/4 cup bacon.
• Sprinkle remaining bacon, cheddar cheese and mozzarella cheese on crust.
• Bake at 425 degrees Fahrenheit for 8 to 12 minutes or until cheese is melted. If doing a homemade crust, I bake mine at 375 degrees Fahrenheit for about 25 to 30 minutes or until done.
• Top with lettuce, tomatoes, and reserved bacon.
• Cut into wedges and serve. Enjoy!

SPICY LIME CHICKEN SALAD

Steps:

• To marinate the chicken, place tenderloins in a large ziplock bag, with juice of 3 1/2 key limes, nigella seeds, turmeric, curry powder, chillies and cayenne pepper. Mix well to evenly coat chicken with marinade.
• Seal bag and place in fridge for at least 4 hours (or overnight).
• Add curry powder to large non-stick frypan on high heat.
• After 1 minute, add olive oil (for cooking) and mix with curry powder.
• When oil is hot, sprinkle 1tsp of the brown sugar and dissolve.
• Add marinated chicken, reserve excess marinade.
• Cook for 4-5 minutes on high heat. Move chicken around in pan to ensure sugar does not burn.
• Sprinkle 1tsp of the brown sugar on top of the chicken, then turn immediately.
• Cook on high heat for 1 minute, then add reserved marinade, cover and simmer on low heat for 8 minutes (until tender and cooked through).
• Take chicken out of frypan (set aside).
• Make reduction using pan juices by adding 1 tsp of the brown sugar and juice of 1 key lime to the frypan. Raise heat to medium and reduce until slightly thicker. Set aside.
• To make the salad, mix spinach and shallots in large bowl. Whisk oil and vinegar and juice of 1/2 key lime to make dressing. Toss the dressing through the salad well.
• Gently toss through the tomatoes and blood orange segments.
• For serving, place salad on platter or in individual bowls.
• Place warm chicken pieces on top of salad. Drizzle with reduction from the frypan.
