Ingredients & Directions

Directions

Tropical Grilled Chicken Cobb Salad

1 tablespoon
Onion powder
1 tablespoon
Garlic powder
2 teaspoons
Cayenne pepper
2 teaspoons
Salt
2 teaspoons
Ground black pepper
2 teaspoons
Died thyme
2 teaspoons
Granulated sugar
1 teaspoon
Dried parsley
1 teaspoon
Paprika
1/2 teaspoon
Red pepper flakes
1/2 teaspoon
Ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon
Ground nutmeg
1/2 teaspoon
Ground clove
1/4 teaspoon
Ground cumin
2 lbs
Jerk seasoning, as needed
4 cups
Chopped lettuce (Romaine pictured)
Fresh pineapple, mango or papaya, cubed
Chopped tomatoes
English cucumber, sliced
Red onion, thinly sliced
Fresh corn, removed from cob
Red & yellow sweet peppers, seeded and diced
Avocado-cilantro ranch dressing
  1. Mix all ingredients together in a small bowl or use a mortar and pestle to mix/crush together evenly.
  2. Store in an airtight container and store in a cool/dry space for 6 months.
  3. Use as needed.
  4. Preheat grill to medium-high, creating an indirect heat zone for finishing chicken so the jerk seasoning doesn't burn.
  5. While grill is preheating, season chicken on all sides with homemade jerk seasoning or commercially prepared jerk seasoning and set aside; cut and chop all fruit and vegetables for salad topping.
  6. Place chicken on the grill and cook for about 7-9 minutes on each side or until the internal temperature of the chicken reaches at least 165°F. (If seasoning begins to brown too much, move the chicken to the indirect heat side of the grill-it may take a little longer to come to the proper internal temperature.)
  7. Once chicken reaches the correct temperature, remove from grill and cover for 10 minutes letting the meat rest and redistribute all of the juices in the pieces.
  8. While chicken is resting, begin assembling the salad platter by placing chopped lettuce all across the large plate.
  9. Begin to add the salad components in lines across the bed of lettuce, saving a wide center strip for the cut up chicken.
  10. Cut chicken into thin slices and place in center of the salad platter & then drizzle with dressing.
