Grilled Chicken And Ziti Salad Recipes

SIMPLE GRILLED CHICKEN SALAD

Steps:

• Preheat an outdoor grill for medium-high heat and lightly oil the grate.
• Whisk oil, lemon juice, hot sauce, and thyme in a small saucepan. Season with salt and pepper. Arrange chicken and onion slices on a plate. Spoon 2 tablespoons of the dressing over the chicken and onions; turn to coat. Let stand for 5 minutes.
• Grill chicken and onion slices on the preheated grill, turning once, until chicken is cooked through and the juices run clear, about 8 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C). Set the saucepan with the remaining dressing at the edge of the grill to warm.
• Transfer chicken and onion slices to a place. Cut chicken crosswise into thin slices. Separate onion slices into rings.
• Place lettuce in a large bowl; add chicken and onion. Add warm dressing and toss to coat. Season with salt and pepper. Sprinkle with feta cheese and serve.

GRILLED CHICKEN AND ZITI SALAD

Steps:

• In an oiled ridged grill pan heated over moderately high heat or on a rack set 4 to 6 inches over glowing coals grill the chicken breasts for 8 to 10 minutes on each side, or until they are springy to the touch, and transfer them to a dish. Sprinkle the chicken with the lemon juice and let it cool. In a kettle of boiling salted water boil the ziti until it is tender. In a colander refresh the ziti under cold water and drain it well.
• In a large bowl toss together the ziti, the bell peppers, the celery, the onion, the olives, and the dill. Remove the chicken from the dish, reserving the juices, slice it thin, and add it to the ziti salad. To the juices in the dish add the vinegar, the mayonnaise, the mustard, and salt and black pepper to taste, whisk the mixture well, and add the oil in a stream, whisking until the dressing is emulsified. Add the dressing to the salad, toss the salad well, and season it with salt and black pepper.
