Cheese-Stuffed Chicken and Succotash Salad topcook.tomathouse.com
Ingredients:
- 100 g pepper jack cheese, grated
- 2 cups arugula, coarsely chopped
- 2 large boneless, skinless chicken breasts (340g each)
- 1 tbsp olive oil + extra for brushing chicken
- 1.5-2 tbsp. Cajun seasoning
- Vegetable oil, for grilling
- 1 cup frozen lima beans, thawed
- 1 medium zucchini, diced
- 2 tbsp. corn kernels
- 1 cup grape tomatoes, halved
- Juice of 1 lime
Preparation:
- Combine the grated cheese and arugula in a bowl. Using a knife, cut a deep, 2-inch-wide pocket into the thickest part of each chicken breast. Stuff with the arugula and cheese mixture. Brush the chicken with olive oil and sprinkle with salt and Cajun seasoning.
- Preheat the grill to high heat and brush the grates with vegetable oil. Grill the chicken until it's cooked through and a thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the chicken registers 155°F (69°C), about 8 to 10 minutes per side. Transfer the chicken breasts to a cutting board.
- Meanwhile, heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a skillet over high heat. Add the lima beans, zucchini, and corn, season with salt, and cook until the zucchini is tender, 2-3 minutes. Add the tomatoes and cook for another 2 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in the lime juice. Shred the chicken and serve with succotash.
