  • 1 teaspoon chili powder
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1 teaspoon white sugar
  • 4 (4 ounce) skinless, boneless chicken breast halves
  • 8 cups torn romaine lettuce
  • 2 oranges - peeled, segmented, and chopped
  • 2 stalks celery, sliced

Instructions

  • In a mixing bowl, whisk together orange juice, lime juice, shallots, garlic, chili powder, cumin, and sugar. Pour 1/2 of this mixture into a large, resealable plastic bag, and add the chicken breasts. Seal, and refrigerate for at least 2 hours. Refrigerate the remaining dressing.

  • Lightly oil grate, and place chicken on grill. Discard the marinade from the chicken. Cook for 6 to 8 minutes each side, or until juices run clear when pierced with a fork. Remove chicken from grill, and slice into thin strips.
