The seasoning on the chicken is FANTASTIC. Sometimes we just make the chicken and eat them on tortillas topped with lettuce, cheese and whatever other toppings you like. I highly recommend this recipe if you're in the mood for some delicious Mexican style food.

Salad:

· Small head of lettuce, torn or cut into bite-size pieces

· 1 pint grape or cherry tomatoes

· 1 small onion, chopped

· 1 can small ripe olives, drained

· Dressing:

· 1/2 small jar of salsa (whatever kind you like)

· 1/2 cup of oil

· Dash of lime juice, optional

· Shredded cheddar cheese

Optional:

· Taco shell bowls

· Sour cream and guacamole

Grilled Chicken:

· 1 to 2 lbs of boneless, skinless chicken

Coating for Chicken:

· 2 TBLS Chili powder

· 1 TBlS ground Cumin

· 1 tsp cinnamon

· 1 tsp sugar

· dash of ground cloves, optional.

· dash of ground cayenne pepper, opt.

· 2 TBLS oil.

· If you like lime, you can add a bit of lime juice, too

Method

Put all the coating ingredients in a plastic bag. You can mix it up by squishing the bag. Drop in the chicken & squish it around until the chicken is all coated. Start the grill. Mix salad ingredients--EXCEPT cheese and dressing--together in a large bowl. Mix dressing in small bowl. Set both aside. Take bag of chicken out to grill. Turn heat to low-medium. Cook chicken through; thighs take a bit longer than breasts. After cooking, set aside. Assembling salad: If using taco bowls, you may want to heat them according to package directions. Toss salad with dressing. Slice the chicken into bite-size pieces. Portion out the salad to individual bowls or plates. Top with several pieces of the chicken and the cheddar cheese. Garnish with sour cream & guacamole, if desired.
