Rice And Chili Marinated Grilled Chicken Salad Recipes

CHILI'S MARGARITA GRILLED CHICKEN AND BELINDA'S MEXICAN RICE

Steps:

• Marinate chicken in margarita mix, tequila, and garlic in refrigerator for several hours, or overnight. (I soaked it overnight, and it was really flavorful.).
• Remove chicken from marinade, and sprinkle with garlic salt and pepper.
• Preheat George Foreman or gas grill. Cook chicken just until cooked through (just until juices run clear-don't overcook, or it won't be as juicy).
• Serve with Mexican rice and black beans.
• Mexican Rice:.
• Cook rice in 1 tablespoon oil, until lightly browned.
• Add chicken broth, salsa, cumin, and garlic salt; cover pan and simmer for about 25 minutes, or until rice is tender.

RICE-AND-CHILI-MARINATED GRILLED-CHICKEN SALAD

Steps:

• To make the marinade, combine the serranos, garlic, lime rind and lime juice in a shallow dish. Add the chicken breasts and turn to coat well. Refrigerate at least 1 hour.
• Heat a grill or broiler. To make the salad, toss together the rice, parsley, chopped cilantro, mint and serranos in a large bowl. Add the lime juice, olive oil, 1/2 teaspoon salt and pepper and toss to coat. Remove the chicken breasts from the marinade and grill or broil until cooked through, about 4 minutes per side. Cut into 1/4-inch dice and toss into the salad. Taste and adjust seasoning if desired. Divide among 4 plates. Garnish each plate with a lime slice and cilantro leaves and serve.
