Ingredients
  • 2 teaspoons turmeric
  • 1 teaspoon curry powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon cumin
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 lb boneless chicken breasts
  • salad greens
  • hummus
  • tabouleh or bean salad
Instructions

  1. Preheat grill on medium heat. Mix spices together in small bowl or jar and set aside.

  2. Lay chicken breasts flat on a platter or cutting board. Sprinkle about half the spice mixture over the breasts and rub in with fingers. Turn over the chicken and repeat on the other side.

  3. Grill chicken 3-4 minutes per side over medium heat, until fully cooked (internal temperature 165 Fahrenheit)

    Transfer chicken to cutting board and let rest while preparing salad.

  4. Arrange greens on a plate. Slice the chicken on the diagonal into 1/4 inch slices, then arrange the sliced chicken on top of the greens. Add accompaniments as desired, such as bean salad or tabouleh or hummus.

  5. If desired, make a simple dressing by whisking together 3 tablespoons of hummus with a drizzle of olive oil, a squeeze of lemon and a teaspoon of water.
