This is a wonderful salad that has color, texture and loaded with taste. Although there seems to be lots of ingredients, part of it can be done in advance. Serve with some french bread, this salad is quite satisfying. I used DiB’s Parmesan Peppercorn Ranch Dressing (18877) and Tisme’s Mango Chutney (191312), but bottled dressing and Major’s Mango Chutney would be a good substitute.
In my many years in the kitchen, I stumbled upon this recipe in my experimentations with cooking for clients who wanted something “different.” The most important part of this recipe is the marinade. Once marinated, the chicken can be broiled, grilled, fried, or cooked any other way, depending on your dietary wishes/requirements. Best served with “Party Rice” (which I will post a recipe for later ;-)), this dish also goes well with baked potatoes or Penne tossed in garlic and olive oil.
A quick and tasty one pot meal! The original recipe comes from the Pressured Cook and includes Sweet Potatoes, however I’ve found it very difficult to keep from over cooking the sweet potatoes so substituted red potatoes. Also made some other changes to the recipe to ‘kick it up a notch’. Total time includes marinading the pork chops.
This is an amazing recipe for carne asada. I tried probably thirty different recipes until I found this one. Now this is the only one I will make. It is just that good.
