Sunbasket is proud to source the organic ingredients indicated below. On the rare occasion we are unable to meet our organic promise, we'll put a note in your bag.
  • 2 boneless skinless chicken breasts (about 6 ounces each)
  • Sunbasket Santa Fe spice blend (cumin - dried Mexican oregano - ancho chile powder - granulated garlic)
  • ¼ pound organic grape or cherry tomatoes
  • 1 or 2 cloves organic peeled fresh garlic
  • 1 head organic frisée or other chicory lettuce
  • 1 organic lemon
  • Sunbasket spinach-parsley blend (EVOO - spinach - parsley)
Grill It
Prepare a medium-hot fire on one side of a grill. Set the chicken breasts on the grill directly over the heat and cook, turning once, until starting to brown, about 2 minutes per side. Transfer to indirect heat, close the grill, and cook without turning until lightly charred and cooked through, about 10 minutes longer.

Make It Ahead
The chicken (Step 1) can be seasoned up to 1 day ahead. Cover and refrigerate overnight. When ready to serve, let the chicken come to room temperature as you make the salad (Step 2). Then cook the chicken (Step 1).

1

Prep and cook the chicken

  • Pat the chicken dry with a paper towel; season with salt, if desired, and pepper. In a medium bowl, stir together the Santa Fe spice blend and 1 teaspoon [2 tsp] oil. Add the chicken and turn to coat.
In a large frying pan over medium-high heat, warm 2 teaspoons [4 tsp] oil until hot but not smoking. Add the chicken and cook, turning once, until lightly browned, 1 to 2 minutes per side. Reduce the heat to medium-low and continue cooking, turning occasionally, until firm and cooked through, 5 to 8 minutes. Transfer to a plate. Do not clean the pan.
While the chicken cooks, start the salad.

Prep and cook the tomato-frisée salad

  • Cut the tomatoes in half.
  • Finely chop, press, or grate enough garlic to measure 1 teaspoon [2 tsp].
  • Trim the root end from the frisée; coarsely chop the leaves. Transfer to a medium bowl.
  • Juice half the lemon; cut half into wedges for garnish. [Juice 1 lemon; cut 1 lemon into wedges.]
In the same pan used for the chicken, if dry, add 2 teaspoons [4 tsp] oil. Warm over medium-high heat until hot but not smoking. Add the tomatoes, season with salt, if desired, and pepper, and cook, stirring occasionally, until starting to soften, 3 to 4 minutes. Stir in the garlic and cook until fragrant, 1 to 2 minutes.
Transfer the tomatoes and garlic to the bowl with the frisée, add 1 tablespoon [2 TBL] lemon juice, and toss to combine. Season with salt, if desired, and pepper.

Serve

Transfer the tomato-frisée salad and chicken to individual plates; drizzle the chicken with 1 tablespoon spinach-parsley blend. Serve the lemon wedges and remaining spinach-parsley blend on the side.
