Ingredients

• ½ cup orange juice
• 1 teaspoon white sugar
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 teaspoon ground cumin
• 2 stalks celery, sliced
• 1 teaspoon chili powder
• 4 green onions, chopped
• 4 (4 ounce) skinless, boneless chicken breast halves
• ¼ cup lime juice
• 2 shallots, minced
• 8 cups torn romaine lettuce
• 2 oranges - peeled, segmented, and chopped

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

In a mixing bowl, whisk together orange juice, lime juice, shallots, garlic, chili powder, cumin, and sugar. Pour 1/2 of this mixture into a large, resealable plastic bag, and add the chicken breasts. Seal, and refrigerate for at least 2 hours. Refrigerate the remaining dressing.

Step 2

Preheat an outdoor grill for medium-high heat. In a large salad bowl, toss romaine lettuce with oranges, celery, and green onions. Set aside.

Step 3

Lightly oil grate, and place chicken on grill. Discard the marinade from the chicken. Cook for 6 to 8 minutes each side, or until juices run clear when pierced with a fork. Remove chicken from grill, and slice into thin strips.

Step 4

Toss salad with reserved dressing, and top with sliced chicken.
