Grilled Honey-Orange Chicken Salad
Eat Yourself Skinny!: Grilled Honey-Orange Chicken Salad.
Here are your ingredients:
Recipe adapted from Better Homes & Gardens
3 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves
4 cups salad greens
1 medium red bell pepper, thinly sliced
2 medium oranges, peeled and sectioned
Sliced almonds, toasted
For the marinade:
2 tsp. orange zest
1/3 cup orange juice
4 cloves garlic, minced
2 Tbsp honey
1 1/2 tsp. dried thyme (or savory)
For the dressing:
2 Tbsp olive oil
2 Tbsp white wine vinegar
2 Tbsp orange juice
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 1/2 tsp. shallots, finely chopped
Salt and pepper, to taste
Combine ingredients for the marinade and pour over chicken in a resealable plastic bag. Allow chicken to marinate for 6 to 8 hours in the fridge, turning bag occasionally.
Line a broiler pan with foil and place chicken on the pan, discarding the marinade. Season with a bit of salt and pepper and broil 5 to 6 inches away from heat for 15 minutes, turning once. Chicken should no longer be pink and juices will run clear.
While chicken is broiling, mix together the ingredients for the dressing in a screw top jar and shake well (or whisk together in a bowl). Divide greens among 4 plates (or 2 for larger portions) and top with chopped peppers and orange sections. Slice chicken crosswise and arrange over greens and drizzle with dressing. Feel free to garnish with sliced almonds, if desired. Enjoy!

Beluga Lentil Salad
- 1 cup beluga (black) lentils – picked over and rinsed off
- 2 cups water
- 1/2 cup fresh chopped tomato (i scored some heirlooms at whole foods)
- 1/2 cup chopped cucumber (i used an english cuke)
- 1/4 cup thinly sliced scallions
- 3 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
- 3 tbsp fresh parsley chopped
- 3 tbsp rinsed capers
- 2 tbsp red wine vinegar
- 1 tbsp light agave nectar
- kosher salt + pepper to taste
after picking over lentils for rocks and other foreign debris combine them in a pot with 2 cups of water and turn stove burner onto high. allow water to boil, then turn down to a simmer and cover pot with a lid – tilt the lid slightly to the side so that steam can escape. allow lentils to cook ~20 minutes. i like under cooking these vs cooking them to the point where they get mushy – i like them to maintain their shape integrity and have a toothyness to them. meanwhile – place tomato, parsley, capers and green onions into a large bowl. once the lentils are cooked pour them (and any remaining water) into a colander allowing excess water to drain off. pour lentils into bowl with tomato, parsley, capers and green onions. gently stir to mix and add in olive oil, agave nectar, red wine vinegar, kosher salt and paper to taste. i typically like to serve this cold – and pop it into the fridge for around 2-3 hours before serving.
i prefer to serve my salad as a cold side dish or served on top of raw kale and lettuce. i’ve even enjoyed them for breakfast with eggs and avocado. like i said previously, lentils are a blank slate – use whatever you have on hand – be creative! go forth and lentil!
