Caribbean Jerk Chicken Over A Bed Of Arugula Recipe Video
An easy low-calorie, high flavor nutritious Chicken salad.
Ingredients
4 boneless, skinless chicken breast halves, trimmed (less than ½” thick is ideal)
2 oz of your favorite jerk seasoning (Cajun will work also)
1 package of pre-washed baby spinach
1 green pepper julienned
1 red pepper julienned
8 oz of walnut halves
4 oz sliced provolone cheese
For the balsamic vinaigrette:
2 TBSP olive oil
2 TBSP balsamic vinegar
sea salt/black pepper (to taste)
1 TBSP dried herbs (be creative!)
Directions
In a large sauté pan, over high heat, add ½ TBSP of olive oil. Coat chicken, liberally, on both sides with seasoning. Add to hot pan, and sear for 3 minutes on each side. While this is cooking, construct the salad. In 4 salad bowls, divide the spinach up evenly. Add the julienned pepper, nuts, and cheese. Check on the chicken, and flip when a crust is created, but releases from pan. Cook for about 3 minutes on other side, and remove when done. Cover with a foil tent, and let rest for 5 minutes. Meanwhile, let’s create the dressing. In small container w/a cover, add all ingredients. Shake vigorously. Remove cover, and drizzle evenly among 4 salads. Slice chicken breasts in strips and lay one sliced breast over each salad. Garnish with grated Parmesan cheese.
