Hawaiian Chicken Salad
Report
A giant salad loaded with the tropical flavours of Hawaii! This recipe is based on the marinade for these Hawaiian Chicken Skewers I shared a few weeks ago - see note 1 for how to REUSE the marinade for this recipe. This recipe also uses leftover Coconut Lime Cilantro/Coriander Rice that I shared as a side for the skewers.

- 1/4 tsp each onion powder , cumin, paprika, ginger powder, salt
- Chicken & Salad:
- 1/2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 large chicken breast , halved horizontally
- 1/2 cup corn
- 1/2 - 3/4 cup pineapple pieces (from can)
- 4 - 6 cups chopped lettuce
- 1/2 avocado , cut into wedges

- 1 small carrot, finely shredded
- 1 - 1 1/2 cups Coconut Lime Cilantro / Coriander Rice (Note 2)

- 1 1/2 tbsp lime juice
- 2 1/2 tbsp olive oil

- 1/2 garlic minced
- 1/2 tsp sugar or honey
- 1/4 tsp salt
- black pepper
Instructions
- Mix together Marinade ingredients, marinate chicken for minimum 3 hours, preferably overnight.
- Shake Dressing ingredients together in a jar, set aside for at least 15 minutes.
- Heat oil in a non stick skillet over high heat (or BBQ). Add chicken and cook each side for 3 minutes or until golden. Remove and cover loosely with foil for 5 minutes, then slice thickly.
- Sear 1/2 cup pineapple pieces and corn in the skillet until golden.
- Pile salad ingredients on a platter and top with sliced chicken. Drizzle over Dressing. Serve and pretend you're in Hawaii!
Notes
- The Hawaiian Chicken Skewers recipe uses the same marinade. So you can squeeze the chicken for this recipe in that marinade OR recycle the marinade as follows: marinade chicken for skewers for 1st 24 hours, then the chicken for this recipe for the next 24 hours. After which the marinade must be discarded immediately.
- The Coconut Lime Cilantro / Coriander Rice used as a side for the Hawaiian Chicken Skewers goes beautifully with this salad BUT if you don't have any leftover, just use plain cooked white rice and make extra dressing to pour over the rice.
- Nutrition is per serving, assuming 3 servings, with 1 cup of plain white rice used.
