  • 2 boneless skinless chicken breasts (about 6 ounces each)
  • Sunbasket spicy chipotle rub (chipotle chile powder - coriander - cumin - sweet paprika - granulated garlic)

Chef's Tip
For even more flavor, after removing the cooked chicken from the pan in Step 1, add the zucchini and cook slightly, just enough to coat the squash in the warm spices remaining in the pan.

Wash produce before use

1

Prep and cook the chicken

Prep and cook instructions are identical for both chicken options.
  • Pat the chicken dry with a paper towel; season with salt, if desired, and pepper and rub with as much spicy chipotle rub as you like.
In a large frying pan over medium-high heat, warm 2 to 3 teaspoons oil until hot but not smoking. Add the chicken and cook, turning once, until lightly browned and cooked through, 4 to 6 minutes per side. Transfer to a cutting board to cool slightly. Cut the chicken into ½-inch-thick slices.
While the chicken cooks and rests, prepare the salad.

2

Prep the remaining ingredients

  • Cut the tomatoes in half.
  • Remove the green hulls from the strawberries; cut the strawberries into quarters.
  • Cut the zucchini in half lengthwise, then crosswise into thin half-moons.
  • Coarsely chop the cilantro for garnish.

3

Assemble the salad

In a large bowl, stir together the honey-lime vinaigrette base and 2 tablespoons [¼ cup] oil; set aside half the vinaigrette for serving. Add the kale, tomatoes, strawberries, and zucchini and toss to coat. Season with salt, if desired, and pepper.

Serve

Transfer the salad to individual bowls and top with the chicken. Garnish with the cilantro and serve the remaining vinaigrette on the side.
