  • 4 lbs. thinly sliced/pounded chicken cutlets
  • 1/3 cup avocado oil
  • 2 Tbsp. curry spice powder I use yellow curry powder
  • 2 Tbsp. garlic powder
  • 2 tsp. onion powder
  • 2 tsp. dried parsley
  • 2.5 tsp. salt
  • 1 tsp. ground black pepper

Lemon Shallot Dressing Ingredients:

  • 2/3 cup extra virgin olive oil
  • 1/4 cup red wine vinegar
  • 2 lemons zested + juiced
  • 2 Tbsp. minced shallot
  • 1 Tbsp. dijon mustard
  • 1.5 Tbsp. honey
  • 2 tsp. fresh thyme minced
  • 2 tsp. fresh chives minced
  • 1/2 tsp. black pepper
  • 1/2 tsp. salt or to taste

Additional Ingredients:

  • 8 cups butter lettuce
  • 1 navel orange segmented
  • 1 grapefruit segmented
  • 1 avocado sliced
  • 1 cup cup cooked chickpeas
  • 1/2 cup sliced green olives
  • 1/2 cup toasted chopped pistachios

Instructions
 

  • Place all marinade ingredients together into a resealable storage bag or large bowl with a lid and mix together. Add the chicken and mix to coat in marinade, tossing until everything is covered. Cover in an airtight container and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
  • To make the dressing, Add all ingredients to a jar. Shake with the lid on until well combined and emulsified. Refrigerate.
  • Grill the chicken: Grease the grill and heat to medium high heat. Once heated, remove the marinated chicken cutlets from the marinade, letting the excess drip off, and place on the grill.
  • Cook 2-3 minutes per side, until cooked through. Let the chicken rest for 5 minutes, then cut into bite sized chicken pieces.
  • Assemble the salad: Divide the lettuce between four serving plates or combine in a large salad bowl. Top each with the cooked and diced chicken, orange and grapefruit segments, sliced avocado, chickpeas, olives, and pistachios. Drizzle with the lemon shallot dressing and serve.
