Grilled Honey and Lime Chicken Salad

This grilled honey and lime chicken salad is flavorful, light and delicious served as a side or main dish.

This grilled chicken has a wonderful lightly sweet lime flavor to it from a quick and easy marinade sauce.

When I have guests over for dinner, I like to barbecue a variety of meats and serve them together on a big platter.

Serving the different types of barbecued meats together on a big plate looks so appetizing.

This recipe for grilled chicken is one of the delicious meats that I include on my barbecued meat platter.

But in this recipe, the honey lime chicken is served on a green salad.

The recipe for this lime chicken is adapted from the delicious Santa Fe Chicken Pizza at The California Pizza Kitchen.

Let’s check out the ingredients.

Chicken Marinade – Lime juice, olive oil, Worcestershire sauce, soy sauce, honey, ground cumin, dried red pepper flakes, chopped cilantro and boneless skinless chicken breasts

Salad – Grilled Lime Chicken, iceberg lettuce, spinach, red (purple) cabbage, carrots, kernels of corn (canned corn, drained), red bell pepper and red onion

HOW TO MAKE THIS RECIPE

A printable recipe with the measurements and instructions is located at the bottom of this post.

For the Chicken Marinade:

For the Marinade – In a medium size bowl, add lime juice, Worcestershire sauce, soy sauce, honey, cumin, red pepper flakes, cilantro…

…and olive oil.

Whisk together and set aside.

For the Chicken – Then, just for the thickest half of the breasts, slice them from side to side into a “cutlet”.

For more detail on how to cut chicken cutlets, here is a helpful article from the site Serious Eats called “How to Cut Chicken Breasts into Cutlets”.

To the marinade…

…add the 6 pieces of chicken.

Marinate the chicken for about 20 minutes.

While the chicken is marinating, heat up the barbecue grill on medium heat (or skillet if preferred) and cut the salad vegetables.

Grilling the Chicken – On a preheated grill, place the chicken.

Discard the leftover marinade.

Grill the chicken…

…until it’s completely cooked through (about 3 to 5 minutes per side).

Transfer the cooked chicken from the grill…

…onto a plate and cover with foil.

Let the chicken rest while making the salad.

For the Salad:

To each serving bowl or plate add chopped lettuce, spinach, and red cabbage.

Top with shredded carrots, corn kernels, diced red bell pepper, and sliced onions.

Slice the chicken against the grain in a diagonal cut so that the pieces are about ½ thick.

Lay the chicken on top of the salad…

…and serve with your favorite dressing and a side of garlic bread.
