Grilled Oriental Chicken Salad.
Mark, Lorie & Matthew Hiking in the Superstitions!
I love grilled chicken, Livi tells us we eat chicken “Like it’s our job”. This recipe is a great summertime supper idea for quick and easy outdoor cooking!
Let’s Get Grilling!
Pre-heat the grill to ¾ high.
I buy frozen, skinless, boneless chicken breasts at Sam’s Club, or you may use any chicken breast you prefer. Tips & Tricks: The secret to grilling a skinless and boneless breast is searing it then grill long and low with a good baste.
Okay, while the grill is warming up.
Prep Time!
- Wash and rinse four chicken breasts. This should serve 4-6 people. Place in a bowl.
- Using a fork, perforate each breast 3 or 4 times.
- Add ¾ Cup Low Sodium Soy Sauce.
- Add ¼ Cup Teriyaki Sauce.
- Add ¼ Cup Worcestershire Sauce.
- Add 1 TBLS Granulated Garlic
- Add A Sprinkle of Sea Salt and Peppercorn.
- If you wish you can do this a few hours before you grill and place in the fridge with a cover.
- Place your chicken breast on the grill and baste with your BBQ brush. Cover and leave for 5 minutes.
- After searing each side 5 minutes, reduce heat to medium.
- Flip and baste every five minutes.
- After 20 minutes, reduce to low.
- After 40 minutes total, the chicken breast should be ready to come off the grill and rest for 10 minutes before slicing.
Off the Grill!
While the chicken is grilling, prepare your favorite fresh garden salad. I suggest adding pecans for crunch and fresh apples and raisins for a fruity contrast to the dressing and chicken. I prefer a balsamic vinaigrette dressing and a splash of Blue Cheese. Add a sweet potato by slicing into 2 inch chunks and place on a veggie tray on the grill or your Wok. Add a splash of Smart Balance buttery spread and salt & pepper to taste. Slice the chicken breast into thin slices and place on a platter. I prefer to set up a buffet, with the salad fixings, chicken, dressings and fruit. This allows everyone to make their own salad to taste. Add seedless watermelon mini wedges or fresh strawberries and you have a fresh and delicious summer meal prepared in less than an hour!

Here you go! from my 4th of July BBQ Blog
When it’s time for BBQ, it’s time for slaw. I prefer Southern style slaw which is vinegar based. There are a thousand recipes for slaw, start here and adjust to suit your taste.
1 Cup Miracle Whip Lite.
¼ Cup white onion.
3/4 tsp. celery salt.
3/4 tsp. celery seed.
3/4 tsp. granulated garlic.
1/4 tsp. ground pepper.
2 tbsp. apple cider vinegar.
2 tsp. lemon juice
I prefer to buy a bag of slaw mix at the store, put in the fridge and you are ready to go. I prefer to add a little lemon juice to the mix after I wash and place in a Tupperware dish with a paper towel or two. Also, you may wish to add diced pineapple to sweeten it up for the kids.
Thanks for Sharing the Recipe. Lemon Juice and Pineapple, sound like an interesting addition.
Yes I do! It is on one of my previous blogs . Let me find it and send it over.
Nice.
