"Grilled Chicken Salad, filled with tomatoes, peppers and topped with a garlic honey mustard dressing Yum"
Grilled Chicken Salad
I love salads, whenever i feel like not having a meal. All i prefer is having a bowl of salad. You can make salad whatever way you like. This one is my favorite since it has honey mustard garlic dressing. I love it so much.
Moreover making grilled chicken can be a bit tricky. But if you follow my instructions you will get perfect grilled chicken all the time.
I used my home grown baby spinach and lettuce for this salad which made me even more happy.
How do you grill chicken without drying it out?
- You can brine the chicken for 4 to 5 hours to keep the chicken moist. Recipe below.
- Flatten the chicken breast so it even thickness. Even thickness means it will cook evenly and in faster time so it doesn't dries out.
- Cook in high temp for shorter time so it doesn't dries out.
- Marinate the chicken overnight or at least 2 hours for best flavour.
How to Brine Chicken?
- Bring water to a boil, add equal part of salt and sugar. Nearly ½ cup salt and ½ cup sugar for every kg of chicken.
- Stir until the sugar and salt have dissolved, then allow the brine to cool to room temperature.
- To use, place chicken in the brine, cover, and refrigerate two hours for skinless breasts, 4 hours for bone-in pieces, and 4 hours to overnight for whole chickens.
- Drain and pat the chicken dry before cooking.
