Categories     Chicken

Time 2h19m

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 tablespoons chili powder
2 tablespoons cumin
1 tablespoon paprika
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
1 tablespoon packed light or dark brown sugar
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
4-6 boneless skinless chicken breasts

Steps:

  • In a small bowl, combine all the spices and brown sugar. Stir in the olive oil and mix until a crumbly, moist paste forms.
  • Place the chicken in a single layer in a 9X13-inch or similar size baking pan. Rub the chicken generously with the spice mixture on all sides. Cover the baking dish with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or up to 10 hours.
  • Grill the chicken over medium heat until cooked through, about 6-7 minutes per side, depending on the size and thickness of the chicken breasts. Let the chicken rest for 5 minutes. Cut into strips and serve. This chicken is delicious served as-is and is also wonderful served in soft tortillas with taco garnishes.

SANTA FE CHICKEN

This is an adaptation of a recipe that I found on Dr. Weil's website. Great on the grill even though the original recipe called for broiling the meat. Cooking time includes marinating time.

SANTA FE (FAY) CHICKEN



Santa Fe (Fay) Chicken image

Picked up this recipe from an Oprah Show I watched. Tried it and made it my own. I have marinated this dish from 24 hours to just a few minutes but love it anyway. It somehow feels like it is Indian. Maybe the spices give it that effect.

Categories     Chicken Breast

Time 1h10m

Yield 2 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

3 limes, juice of
1/4 cup low sodium soy sauce
1 1/2 teaspoons olive oil
1 1/2 teaspoons chili powder
1 1/2 teaspoons cumin powder
1 1/2 teaspoons coriander powder
6 cloves garlic, minced
1 1/2 teaspoons honey
2 whole boneless skinless chicken breasts
1/4 cup white wine (I use rum and water combo or stock and rum)
3 tablespoons chopped cilantro leaves

Steps:

  • Mix the marinade ingredients in a bowl well.
  • Pour into a shallow baking pan and lay the chicken breasts in.
  • Cover and refrigerate for one hour (to even 2 days. But I would advise that if you are keeping it for over an hour or two do not add the lime juice to it. Add it a couple of hours prior to cooking it.) Preheat the broiler.
  • After one hour, when the chicken has absorbed all the flavors of the marinade, pour in the white wine and the chopped cilantro.
  • Broil the chicken under a medium flame for 8 to 10 minutes, basting it with the juices to keep it moist.
  • Serve it in the pan juices.
  • P.S. You can bake(at 180C) and pan grill this too with equally good results.

SANTA FE CHICKEN SALAD (APPLEBEE'S)



Santa Fe Chicken Salad (Applebee's) image

Do not let the list of ingredients keep you from making this salad. Most of the ingredients are for the marinade and salsa which should be made the day before and refrigerated. The remaining ingredients are the salad and side items. It is super quick to throw together the next day and tastes awesome. The tequila-lime chicken is outstanding on its own and you may want to make extra Pico de Gallo to keep in the fridge. I have adapted this recipe from a former Applebee's employee. The recipe is scaled down for one serving, so adjust for more servings. Cooktime is marinade time.

1/8 teaspoon garlic powder

3 tablespoons ranch dressing (they use Naturally Fresh brand lo-fat)
tortilla chips (multi-colored or regular) or corn tortilla strips (multi-colored or regular)
chopped scallion, sprinkled on top
1 ounce sour cream (ramekin at 9 o'clock)
1 ounce guacamole (ramekin at 3 o'clock)

  • Toss salad greens with cheese and remaining Pico de Gallo (or less - to taste). Sprinkle with fried tortilla strips or lightly crushed tortilla chips.
