Traeger Roasted Chicken, well seasoned with a dry rub spice mix, is a great meal! Cooking whole chickens on a smoker/pellet grill couldn’t be easier!

My husband and I have enjoyed “getting to know” the Traeger grill he got for his birthday this past summer. We’ve made several items on it, including a smoked Pork Loin Roast, and a delicious dessert of Berry Cobbler. Both recipes were both amazing!

One of our favorite things we make often is Traeger roasted chicken. Whole chickens are covered with a dry spice rub mix, then the chickens roast, quite happily I might add, in the Traeger grill for about an hour, until done! It’s so easy to make chicken this way!

Making The Spice Rub For Traeger Roasted Chicken

The dry rub mix for Traeger roasted chicken is ridiculously easy to prepare. The spices are combined in a small bowl. Spices are mixed well, until all spices are fully incorporated. The spice rub recipe makes approximately 2 cups. You will only have to use a small PART of this to coat one chicken.

My recommendation is to go ahead and make up the whole batch, as written. After seasoning chicken(s), place remaining dry rub mix into an airtight bottle, and store in pantry. The spices will keep for at least 6 months, so you will have it handy, to use over and over! Guess what? This spice rub tastes fantastic on PORK, too!

Applying Spice Rub On The Traeger Roasted Chicken

Rinse and pat dry (with a paper towel) one or more whole chickens. Remove any giblets that may be inside the chicken cavity, and discard.

Cover the entire chicken generously with dry rub mixture, patting it into chicken to adhere. Sprinkle some into the cavity of the chicken, also. NOTE: You will definitely have some of the spice rub left over, which can be used for other recipes, or to coat about 4 more chickens).

Prepare Chicken To Roast Evenly

Tuck the tips of the chicken wings under the chicken, to hold in place. Tie the front legs of chicken together with cooking twine. NOTE: I didn’t have cooking twine available, so used some of my raffia, from crafting, to tie legs together. It worked perfectly!

The reason it is a good idea to tuck wings under chicken, and tie legs together, is that it helps the chicken cook more evenly. You can see in the photo below how the legs were tied. As always, when working with fresh poultry, wash your hands thoroughly with soap and water after handling chicken.

How To Roast Chicken On A Traeger Grill

When ready to begin, start the Traeger grill on SMOKE setting, with the lid OPEN, until the fire has ignited and is smoking (about 4-5 minutes). Set the temperature gauge to 375°. Close the lid. Let the Traeger preheat for 10-15 minutes. Add a small pan of apple juice (or cider) to the top rack of the grill. This helps to keep some flavorful steam circulating while roasting the chicken.

After grill has preheated, place the chicken directly on the grill grate. Cook at 375°F (with the lid closed) for approximately 60 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F.

How To Test For Correct Temperature Of Traeger Roasted Chicken

To test for internal temperature, insert the temperature probe into the chicken in between the leg and the thigh joint. You will need to also check the internal temperature of a chicken breast, to ensure it also reaches an internal temp of 165°F once done. NOTE: If it looks like the chicken is starting to get blackened on top when near the end of the roasting time, lightly cover the chicken with aluminum foil, and continue cooking until done.

Remember, due to varying weights of chicken used, fluctuating temps on your grill, and how chilled the chicken is before adding it to the grill, your cooking time may be shorter or longer.

Okay, The Chicken Is Ready, Now What?

Once Traeger roasted chicken has reached an internal temp of 165°, remove them from the grill and place on cutting board or tray with rimmed edges (to catch any juices). Untie the chicken legs by slicing through and removing the cooking twine.

Let the chicken rest for about 10-15 minutes, before attempting to slice. This will allow the juices inside the meat time to redistribute throughout the chicken. Trust me, you WANT juicy chicken!

After your Traeger roasted chicken has rested for 10-15 minutes, it is time to slice, and serve!

And that is how easy it is to make Traeger Roasted Chicken! The meat turns out perfectly juicy and flavorful. You can eat it, as is, or use it in a variety of other recipes! Sure hope you will consider trying this easy recipe for Traeger roasted chicken! You’re gonna love it!

Citrus Marinated Swordfish Kabobs

Citrus Marinated Swordfish Kabobs, with onions and red and green bell peppers are quick and easy to prepare, and can be grilled on a BBQ outside, or inside on a griddle.

My husband bought a small swordfish steak. ONE. There are two of us. Go figure! Swordfish can be a bit expensive (one 7 ounce piece of swordfish cost just under $10), so I needed to figure out something to do with just one piece of fish (cause I sure wasn’t going back to the store for another).

Then it came to me… kabobs! By cutting it into smaller pieces and adding vegetable chunks, there would be plenty for BOTH of us! Aha!

I have used swordfish before, including in my recipe for Swordfish in Lemon Garlic Sauce, but I wanted to try something different. I recently had made a citrus Dijon salad dressing for a mixed green salad. It was so good I decided it would be a PERFECT sauce to make with swordfish kabobs, so I decided to go for it!

Scroll Down For A Printable Recipe Card At The Bottom Of The Page

How To Make Citrus Marinated Swordfish Kabobs

Cut the swordfish steak into 16 bite sized cubes (4 used per skewer).

Cut the red and green bell peppers and the red onion into approximate 2″ pieces (about the same size as the swordfish cubes).

Threading The Kabobs

Thread the swordfish and vegetable pieces onto skewers, alternating vegetables and fish. If you are grilling indoors on flat surface / griddle, there is no need to treat skewers.

NOTE: If grilling the citrus marinated swordfish kabobs outside using wood skewers, you will need to soak the wooden skewers for 30 minutes fully submerged in water. Do this step prior to adding the fish and veggies, to prevent burning the skewers up, once over an open flame.

Mix together the ingredients for the citrus marinade. Brush sauce onto the kabobs, covering both swordfish and veggies. Turn kabobs to brush both sides with sauce.

Let the kabobs “marinate” in the sauce for a bit, while you get your outside BBQ started, or heat up your griddle.

Cooking The Kabobs

Heat the griddle (or outside BBQ) with a tiny bit of oil on medium high heat. Once the grill is hot, add the kabobs. You should hear them sizzle when they hit the hot grill.

Cook for several minutes, then rotate kabobs to other side. Continue cooking (turning to cook all sides), and basting with additional sauce, until swordfish is seared on the outside, and cooked through (6-8 minutes).

TIP: If a piece of the fish isn’t fully touching the griddle, simply use a fork to lightly press it down, to ensure a crisp seared exterior. Sometimes the chunks of veggies prevent a few pieces of swordfish from being seared on outside; this is the best way I’ve found to solve that issue.

Time To EAT!

Once citrus marinated swordfish kabobs are fully cooked through, carefully remove them from the grill, and serve while they are hot!

Each serving is two skewers of swordfish and veggies! I served them with steamed broccoli, yellow squash and carrots, and rice on the side. YUM.

I really hope you will enjoy these citrus marinated swordfish kabobs… we sure do! By using only ONE swordfish steak between the two of us, it saved some money, too!

It was a great way to eat a lot of veggies and healthy fish; all in all it was a very light, DELICIOUS meal! Have a fantastic day!

It’s easy to enhance the flavor of grilled chicken or pork with this Dry Rub Spice Mix! Make enough mix to season meat for several BBQ’s, in under 5 minutes!

I enjoy finding new seasoning mixes to use in different recipes to enhance flavors. I’ve shared posts in the past for Homemade Cajun Seasoning, Grilled Chicken Sauce, Homemade Taco Seasoning Mix, and Herb Butter for Steaks, so when I found this recipe for a dry rub spice mix online (for grilled chicken or pork), and I knew I had to try it! Guess what? It is WONDERFUL!

Scroll Down For A Printable Recipe Card At the Bottom Of The Page

How To Make This Dry Rub Spice Mix

Start by making the dry spice rub. EASY! Place the dry rub spices in a medium sized bowl. Stir well, to fully combine ingredients. I cut the recipe in half, and even after cutting it in half, it made enough dry rub spice mix to season a pork loin roast, and a few whole chickens.

Using this Spice Rub On Whole Chickens

Cover all sides of a whole chicken with the dry spice rub, lightly rubbing it onto the surface of the meat. The slight moisture of the meat will help the spices stick! Sprinkle some of the spice mix into the cavity of the chicken. When done, set seasoned chicken aside until ready to cook in a smoker or on the grill.

Here is a photo of a whole chicken with the rub on it. We cooked two chickens this time, on our Traeger grill; they both turned out perfect, with a great added flavor from the spices!

Using The Spice Rub On A Pork Roast

Here are a couple photos from when we used this spice rub on a pork loin roast! We covered all sides of the roast with the spice rub, smoked the pork, then roasted it, long and slow on our Traeger grill. We then shredded about half of the meat, added BBQ sauce, and made incredible tasting BBQ pulled pork sandwiches!

I hope you will enjoy this quick and easy to prepare dry rub spice mix… if you store it in an airtight container, you will have it handy, and ready to use to enhance the flavor of your next grilled chicken or pork dish!

Thanks for stopping by. I hope you will choose to come back soon. Be sure to check out ALL of my recipes in the Recipe Index, located at the top of the page. Have a great day.

Traeger Smoked Pork Loin Roast

Traeger Smoked Pork Loin Roast (seasoned with dry rub spices) tastes amazing right off the smoker, OR as a tasty pulled pork sandwich, coated in BBQ sauce!

Someone Got A TRAEGER!

My husband has a NEW Traeger grill that he received for his birthday and Father’s Day (what a great combo gift) this past June. We have had fun trying new recipes for chicken, sausages, pork, steak, (and even dessert) ever since!

We were anxious to try pulled pork (as well as a “bazillion” other recipes), so I searched for a spice rub recipe online that sounded like it would be really good. My husband bought a 3 pound pork loin roast and we decided to cook it on our grill, seasoned with some of the spice rub I found online (which is perfect for pork or chicken).

We used the cookbook that came with the grill purchase to determine how long the roast would take to smoke, then slow roast. We crossed our fingers and followed the process exactly, and the results were wonderful! YAY- SUCCESS on a smoked pork loin roast!

Scroll Down For A Printable Recipe Card At The Bottom Of The Page

Here’s How We Made This Delicious Roast On Our Traeger Grill

Start by making the dry spice rub. EASY! Place the dry rub spices in a medium sized bowl. Mix well, to fully combine ingredients. I cut the recipe in half. The flavor-filled dry rub recipe made enough for the pork roast, PLUS a couple of extra uses. We’ve also used the spice rub on a whole chicken, and STILL have some left over (stored in an airtight container) for the next pork roast or chicken we grill.

Cover all sides of the pork roast with the dry spice rub, patting it onto the surface of the meat. The slight moisture of the meat will help the spices stick! When done, set seasoned roast aside until ready to put it in the smoker.

Ready To Make A Traeger Smoked Pork Loin Roast?

When ready to begin, turn the Traeger grill to the SMOKE setting. Let it fire up for 4-5 minutes, with the lid OPEN. Once grill is smoking, turn the temperature gauge to 225° F. Close the lid on the grill and let it preheat for 10 to 15 minutes. It doesn’t really matter, but in case you’re curious… we used Mesquite wood pellets for our Traeger smoked pork loin.

Once the grill/smoker is preheated, place an aluminum pan with 2 cups of apple juice into a corner (this will help keep some nice moisture in the grill during the long smoking process). Another option for this is to use a spray bottle and spritz the apple juice onto the roast about once an hour, if desired. Place the seasoned pork loin roast on the grill, FAT SIDE UP. Insert the temperature probe into the meat. Roast the pork for 3 hours, with the lid closed.

After pork has smoked/roasted for 3 hours, transfer the meat into an aluminum pan, and place back onto grill (with temperature probe still attached). Continue to cook the smoked pork loin roast for 5-6 hours, or until the temperature in the thickest part of the meat (not touching any bones) reaches an internal temperature of 190° F. The long cooking time ensures the meat will be very tender!

Almost Time to EAT!

This is what the pork loin roast looked like, once it was done. Remove roast from grill. Cover the pan loosely with aluminum foil, and let the meat rest for approximately 30 minutes. Pour any accumulated juices in the pan into a separate container (or gravy separator). Transfer the Traeger smoked pork loin roast to a cutting board.

While the pork is still quite hot, slice it OR pull the pork into chunks (or shred with two forks). Be sure to discard any fat or bones (nobody wants a big bite of THAT!). You can add additional seasoning rub (and a little of the reserved juices) to the meat at this point OR mix meat with a favorite BBQ sauce. At that point, it’s ready to gobble up, and we cut off a portion of the Traeger smoked pork loin roast to eat just as it was (with it’s incredible smoked flavor). Yum.

We Shredded Part Of The Pork Loin To Make BBQ Sandwiches

After that, we took the remaining half of the roast, and pulled it into shreds. To the shredded pork we added a delicious a sweet n’ spicy BBQ sauce (Sweet Baby Ray’s), and mixed it until everything was covered! You can still see part of the pink “smoke” ring in the meat before I mixed in the sauce!

Since we decided to make BBQ pulled pork sandwiches, the next thing I did was to lightly toast hamburger buns, piled each one high with shredded BBQ smoked pork, covered the pork with homemade coleslaw (for added crunch), and enjoyed it for dinner!

Oh boy… this was a fantastic BBQ Traeger smoked pork loin sandwich! YUM! We enjoyed the leftovers for days!

I hope you enjoyed seeing the process of making this delicious Traeger smoked pork loin on our grill. If you own a smoker of any kind, I hope you will consider trying this recipe for your loved ones. We truly enjoyed it, and will make it again, this exact way!

If you have a smoker grill, you might also be interested in my recipe for Berry Cobbler (Traeger Grill Style), another of our first experiments on our Traeger. It was absolutely DELICIOUS!

While the pork is still quite hot, slice it, or pull the pork into chunks or shred with two forks. Be sure to discard any fat or bones that you find (nobody wants a big bite of THAT!). You can add additional seasoning rub (and a little of the reserved juices) to the meat at this point OR a favorite BBQ sauce (if using pork to make sandwiches). Serve sliced or pulled, with or without and enjoy the delicious smoky flavor!

Now, please note that I didn’t say they are the HEALTHIEST meal option, but I do believe life (including food choices) is all about balance. Every now and then, a grilled patty melt with perfectly caramelized onions and gooey cheese on buttered rye bread makes me deliriously HAPPY.

How To Make A Grilled Patty Melt

Patty melts are easy to make. They do take a little bit of prep time, because you need to caramelize and brown the sliced onions really well!

Slice the onions thin, then cook low and slow in a little butter for 20-25 minutes, stirring occasionally. If you are a multi-tasker, you can grill the patties at the same time.

You can also prepare the onions for the patty melt ahead of time, if you want. This could save you time later on when everyone is ravenous and starving.

Lightly season the ground beef with salt, pepper, a touch of garlic powder and some Worcestershire sauce, then shape the meat into patties.

Make the patties slightly oblong to fit better on a piece of Rye bread (the “traditional” bread used to make this sandwich).

Cooking The Beef For A Patty Melt

Grill the beef patties on both sides on medium-high heat until they reach the desired doneness (I am a medium-well gal, myself). I cook the meat on an indoor cast iron grill, but they are just as easily cooked on a BBQ grill.

Make sure the grill or pan you use is very hot before adding the meat. This helps to create a crusty “sear” on the outside.

Once ready to cook the grilled patty melt, spread butter on one side of each slice of bread (like making a grilled cheese sandwich).

Place the cooked meat patty onto the non-buttered side, then pile on the caramelized onions.

NOTE: If you want a LOT of cheese, place a piece of Swiss cheese on the bread before placing the patty on, then add another one to the top. I wanted just a small amount of cheese, so I put it only on top of the onions.

Top With Another Slice Of Bread

Place another slice of bread on top of the cheese (buttered side out). If you wish to add Thousand Island dressing (a lot of restaurants serve it with this), spread it onto the unbuttered side of the top slice of bread.

Cook the patty melt as you would a grilled cheese sandwich. Once the bottom slice of bread is golden brown and toasty, carefully flip the sandwich to the other side.

Continue cooking the grilled patty melt until the bread is crusty and golden brown, the cheese has melted, and the sandwich is heated through.

Time to EAT!

Once done, carefully slice the patty melt in half, and serve with additional Thousand Island dressing or ketchup for dunking!

And, if you want MORE calories (cough, cough), add some fries! French fries are VEGETABLES, right?

That’s it! See how easy it is to make this classic sandwich? Now you can make a delicious grilled patty melt in the comfort of your own home!

The secret is getting the onions cooked just right, along with crispy rye bread, a well-seared beef patty, and ooey gooey melted cheese! This simple meal always make me happy!

I hope you will consider making these yummy sandwiches for lunch or dinner for friends or family! Have a fantastic day!

Ingredients

2 onions , peeled, sliced thin
1 Tablespoon butter
1½ pounds ground beef
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon black pepper
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
4-5 dashes Worchestershire sauce
2 Tablespoons butter
8 slices rye bread (can substitute sourdough)
4 slices Swiss cheese (use more, if desired- can also substitute American cheese)
Thousand Island dressing (optional, if desired)

US Customary - Metric

Instructions

Trim ends off onions, peel, then slice thin. Melt 1 Tablespoon butter in skillet. Cook onions slices on medium heat for 20-25 minutes, stirring occasionally. When done, the caramelized onions should be softened and light brown. Set aside.
Season ground beef with salt, pepper, garlic powder and Worchestershire sauce. Mix well. Shape meat into 4 slightly oblong patties (to fit shape of rye bread). Grill beef patties on grill or in skillet on medium-high heat (spray skillet with non-stick spray or use melted butter) until cooked through to your preferred done-ness. Make sure the grill or pan you use is very hot before adding the meat. This helps to create a quick, crusty "sear" on the outside. When done, set beef patties on paper towel to drain excess grease.
When ready to cook sandwich, spread butter on one side of each slice of bread. Place cooked meat patty onto the non-buttered side, then piled on the caramelized onions. Top with slice of Swiss cheese. NOTE: If you want a LOT of cheese, place a piece of Swiss cheese on the bread before placing the patty on, then add another slice to the top.
Place a slice of buttered bread on top of the cheese (butter side out). If you wish to add Thousand Island dressing, spread it onto the unbuttered side of the top slice of bread. Cook patty melt on low heat as you would a grilled cheese sandwich. Once the bottom is golden brown and toasty, carefully flip the sandwich (with a spatula) to the other side, and continue cooking until golden brown, cheese has melted, and sandwich is heated through. Once done, carefully slice patty melt in half, and serve with additional Thousand Island dressing or ketchup for dunking! Enjoy!

Lemon Rosemary Chicken Breasts – low in calories, big in flavor! Marinated and grilled, with a lemon glaze, this easy, delicious chicken is sure to impress!

If you’re looking for a light chicken recipe, you should try Lemon Rosemary Chicken Breasts! Marinated, grilled, and served with a lemon glaze (made from the marinade), this simple, delicious chicken dish is sure to impress!

Scroll Down For A Printable Recipe Card At The Bottom Of The Page

Lemon Rosemary Chicken Breasts Are A Weight Watchers Recipe

I found this lemon rosemary chicken breasts recipe on the Weight Watchers website, and decided to give it a try. My husband and I loved this dish! Lemon rosemary chicken breasts are low in calories, yet full of flavor, thanks to the incredible marinade and glaze! The recipe is incredibly easy, and the chicken (when prepared as written) counts as 2 WW Smart Points per serving!

TIP: I marinated the chicken EARLY in the day, so that when dinner time came around, all I had to do was grill the chicken and make the quick glaze while the chicken was cooking. By doing it that way, it was EASY and quick to prepare our evening meal!

Preparing Lemon Rosemary Chicken Breasts

This recipe for lemon rosemary chicken breasts calls for thin chicken cutlets or tenderloins. If you don’t have those handy (which I did not, the day I took these photos), you can easily substitute a thick boneless, skinless chicken breast.

You can cut the chicken breast in half lengthwise horizontally, OR take a thick chicken breast, and cut it in half vertically. Once sliced in half, pound it out thin between two pieces of plastic wrap (see photo below).

Prepare Marinade For Chicken

In a medium-sized bowl, place the olive oil, lemon zest, minced garlic, rosemary, thyme, white wine and the chicken broth. Stir well, to combine all of the ingredients. Add the chicken breasts to the lemon marinade. Turn them over to make sure all sides are covered with the marinade.

Cover the bowl with plastic wrap, and refrigerate the chicken pieces in the marinade for at least 6 hours. TIP: Turn the lemon rosemary chicken breasts a couple of times during the marinating time, to ensure great flavor on all sides of the chicken.

Pan Grilling The Marinated Lemon Rosemary Chicken Breasts

When you’re ready to cook, generously spray a grill or grill pan with non-stick cooking spray (off the heat). Preheat the grill (or grill pan) to medium-high.

Once the grill is hot (but not smoking), transfer chicken pieces from marinade onto hot grill. Important: save the remaining marinade sauce. Cook for 3-5 minutes per side, or until the lemon rosemary chicken breasts are done and reach an internal temperature of 165 degrees F.

Making The Glaze For Lemon Rosemary Chicken Breasts

While the lemon rosemary chicken breasts are cooking, use the remaining marinade to make a glaze. To make the glaze, combine remaining marinade with 1/2 cup chicken broth in a small saucepan. Heat the sauce on high heat. Bring the lemon sauce to a boil. Continue cooking for about 5 minutes, until glaze has reduced a little in volume, and has slightly thickened.

Time To Serve The Chicken!

When the lemon rosemary chicken breasts are done, transfer them to a serving platter or plates. Drizzle the lemon glaze over the cooked chicken, and serve!

I hope you will consider trying this delicious recipe for lemon rosemary chicken breasts! Have a fantastic day.

Pineapple Coconut Shrimp Kabobs

Pineapple coconut shrimp kabobs (marinated in coconut milk and citrus sauce), are grilled on skewers and taste fantastic!
I recently made Pineapple Coconut Shrimp Kabobs to serve alongside some grilled tri-tip we had for dinner! Hooray for homemade surf and turf! The large shrimp (marinated in a coconut milk and citrus sauce), pineapple chunks, and red and green bell peppers are cooked on skewers on the BBQ grill and taste fantastic!

The “recipe” is very easy to prepare. The shrimp will need to marinate in a coconut milk citrus sauce for at least 1-2 hours. I made the citrus sauce (marinade) up early in the day, and let the shrimp marinate in the refrigerator until I was ready for dinner.

When ready to cook, all you will need to do is thread the skewers and cook the dish. The pineapple coconut shrimp kabobs only take about 10 minutes to assemble, and 5 minutes to cook on the grill.

Scroll Down For A Printable Recipe Card At The Bottom Of The Page

How To Make Pineapple Coconut Shrimp Kabobs

Here’s how to make these delicious kabobs: Place the canned coconut milk (stir it well), Tabasco sauce, soy sauce, orange juice and lime juice in a medium-sized bowl. Stir to combine. TIP: Reserve a little bit of the citrus sauce in a separate cup to brush on the kabobs while grilling, if desired).

Add the peeled and deveined shrimp; turn to completely coat shrimp with sauce. Cover and refrigerate for 1-2 hours (or more), turning shrimp occasionally. I cut the recipe in half since it was only for my husband and I, so my photos will reflect that.

Pan-Sear The Bell Peppers

Tip – I pan-seared the bell pepper pieces in a medium-high heat “dry” skillet (no oil) before threading them onto the skewers. This an optional step (only took 3-4 minutes).

Because the shrimp cook so very quickly once added to the grill, I like to have the peppers cooked just a bit BEFORE they go on to the grill. This helps helps the bell peppers get cooked through so they are not totally crispy when served.

You can use metal skewers for the kabobs, but if you will be using wooden skewers, be sure to soak them in water for at least half an hour. Soak them before threading the shrimp, fruit, veggies, etc., so they won’t catch fire on the grill.

Assemble And Grill The Kabobs

Remove the shrimp from the marinade , and thread the skewers. Alternate the shrimp with red and green bell peppers and pineapple chunks for nice colorful kabobs.

Heat BBQ grill up to a medium-high heat. Brush the grill grate with a little oil, then put the kabobs directly onto the hot grill. Cook the kabobs for 3 minutes, brushing with the reserved sauce, if desired.

Turn the skewers over and cook the other side of the kabobs for 2-3 minutes, until shrimp turn pink and are cooked through.

Serve The Pineapple Coconut Shrimp Kabobs

When the shrimp are done, remove skewers from grill and place onto serving plate. If desired, garnish the serving plate with chopped fresh cilantro leaves and sliced green onions.

Serve with the shrimp still on the skewers, or remove food from skewer (your choice) and serve while hot.

These pineapple coconut shrimp kabobs are extremely easy to prepare. They are also light in calories, colorful on the plate, and taste really, really good! I hope you will consider trying this recipe, and trust you will enjoy it, as we did!

Fresh chopped green onion , for garnish
Fresh chopped cilantro , for garnish

Remove shrimp from marinade and thread the skewers, alternating the shrimp with red and green bell peppers and pineapple chunks. Heat BBQ grill to a medium-high heat level. Lightly brush the grill with oil, then put the kabobs onto the grill. Cook the kabobs for 3 minutes, brushing with the reserved sauce. Turn the skewers over and cook the other side of the kabobs for 2-3 minutes, until shrimp turn pink and are cooked through. When the shrimp are done, remove skewers from grill and place onto serving platter. Garnish the serving platter with sliced green onions and chopped fresh cilantro leaves. Serve kabobs still on the skewers, OR remove/slide food from skewers onto individual plates and serve while hot. Enjoy!

Recipe Notes

I used metal skewers for the kabobs, but if you will be using wooden skewers, be sure to soak them in water for at least half an hour before threading the shrimp, fruit, veggies, etc., so they won't catch fire on the grill.
Note: If using canned coconut milk (as I did), you will have some extra. It freezes well, so you can save it to use on another recipe or the next time you make THIS recipe!

Grilled Chili Lime Chicken Fajita Salad is delicious, with marinated chicken, peppers, onions, black beans, avocado and lettuce, and a chili lime dressing!
Do you like fajitas? Well, I sure do, so I was excited to try a new recipe for Grilled Chili & Lime Chicken Fajita Salad! Wow… it tasted fantastic, and I can’t wait to share it with you today. This main dish salad is filled with marinated grilled chicken, romaine lettuce, black beans, grilled bell peppers and onion, and is topped with tortilla strips, cilantro, avocado and sour cream.

If that’s not enough, it is drizzled with an amazing chili and lime salad dressing (part of it serves as the marinade!). If you like Southwestern food, chances are you will LOVE this filling salad. We sure did! It is one of my new favorites… will DEFINITELY make this chicken fajita salad again and again.

Plan Ahead

The chicken will need to marinate for a couple hours (at least), so plan ahead. This marinating time is not included in the prep time in the printable recipe. I like to get things ready ahead of time, so early in the afternoon I marinated the chicken, then grilled the chicken and at the same time, (in a separate skillet) I grilled the onion and peppers.

When it was dinner time, all I had to do was slice the pre-cooked chicken, arrange the salad ingredients in 2 serving bowls, drizzle with the dressing and serve! EASY!

How To Cook This Chicken Fajita Salad

The day I made this salad it was pouring rain, so I cooked the chicken on my indoor George Foreman grill. You can cook the marinated chicken on the BBQ, an indoor grill. You can also cook it in a skillet on your stovetop! The recipe calls for boneless chicken thighs, but boneless chicken breasts are a great substitution, too!

Marinating The Chicken

In a small bowl, whisk the ingredients for the marinade together until fully blended. Pour HALF (approx. 1/4 cup) of the marinade into a shallow dish.

Add the chicken, cover, and refrigerate/marinate chicken for at least 2 hours (turning occasionally to coat), for best taste results! Cover and set the remaining marinade (approx. 1/4 cup) aside until ready to serve (this is the salad dressing). There is no need to refrigerate.

Cooking the Chicken

After chicken has been marinated, grill the chicken until done and crispy on a BBQ or indoor grill. If using a skillet, heat a teaspoon of oil on medium-high heat until hot before adding meat. Once very hot (but not smoking), add chicken and cook until done. When cooked fully, remove chicken. Let rest for a few minutes, then cut chicken into thin slices.

TIP: When you cook the marinated chicken, discard and do NOT use the marinade that has been in contact with the chicken, to avoid cross contamination!

Cooking the Veggies

In a separate skillet, heat a teaspoon of oil on medium-high heat until hot. Add the sliced red and yellow bell peppers and onions to the skillet once it is hot (but not smoking).. Cook until tender (4-5 minutes), stirring occasionally. Remove the skillet from the heat and set it aside, to let the veggies cool.

Time To Assemble The Salad

To assemble the salad, fill each serving dish with torn romaine leaves. Evenly distribute the black beans, peppers and onions over lettuce. Add some sliced avocado and crisp tortilla strips. TIP: I made my own tortilla strips. To see how to make them, check the notes section of printable recipe.

Sprinkle the salad with extra cilantro leaves. Place a dollop of sour cream on top, and add a lime wedge (for garnish). Finish it by drizzling reserved marinade over the top.

Enjoy This Delicious Chicken Fajita Salad

Serve… and ENJOY this amazing, flavor-filled chicken fajita salad! The recipe as written (below) makes two very generous sized main course salads.

I’m not kidding… this chili lime chicken fajita salad really is one delicious dinner! I hope you will give it a try. My husband loved it, too. One of his first comments after tasting it was, “wow, this has to be one of the best looking salads I’ve ever eaten”. Yes, it LOOKS good, but just wait until you TASTE it! Grab a fork and have a taste of this juicy chicken fajita salad! YUM!

Have a wonderful day! Thanks for stopping by. I hope you find some delicious recipes, (including this one for chicken fajita salad) to fix for those you love and cherish!

Southwest Steak Salad is a main course salad, with romaine lettuce, steak, tomatoes, avocadoes, beans & peppers in avocado cilantro dressing.
As I write this post, I am still savoring the memory of the delicious Southwest Steak Salad with Avocado & Cilantro Dressing my husband and I enjoyed for dinner last evening! It was absolutely delicious! We had leftover grilled steak and I decided to see what I could do with it. I found a recipe on Pinterest that sounded great, gave it a try, and it was a fantastic main course salad.

Romaine lettuce, thin slices of grilled steak, black beans, corn, sweet cherry tomatoes, and an absolutely amazing Avocado & Cilantro Salad Dressing that makes the salad PERFECT in Southwestern flavor! THANK YOU to Krista, at Joyful Healthy Eats for this delicious recipe! I encourage you to check out her blog!

I used grilled steak this time, and next time I’m going to try it using grilled chicken breasts. Either would be fantastic in this salad! Whatever you use, steak or chicken, JUST MAKE SURE TO MAKE THE SALAD DRESSING. It is amazing since it uses avocado as the main creamy ingredient. Let’s get those “healthy” fats in, okay?

Grill The Steak And Make The Salad Dressing

Grill your steak or chicken either outdoors on a BBQ, or indoors on a grill. Let it rest a few minutes after it is finished cooking, then thinly slice it into strips. Set the steak aside.

Make the salad dressing by combining the dressing ingredients. They are avocado, cilantro, lime juice, red wine vinegar, olive oil, cumin and red pepper flakes.. Mix the salad dressing in a blender until smooth and creamy.

This is what the lime cilantro salad dressing looked like right after removing it from my blender. It’s thick and creamy, and yummy! (I could eat it by the spoonful, but that’s an entirely different story! Let’s NOT go there).

Put The Southwest Steak Salad Together And EAT!

Place the chopped romaine lettuce, orange bell peppers, corn, and black beans into two serving bowls or onto plates.

Add warm, thin slices of steak (or chicken), cherry tomato halves, and the garnish the top of the Southwest steak salad with slices of avocado and cilantro leaves.

Spoon a big dollop of the salad dressing on top. Give it a big stir to combine, and dig in! You’re gonna LOVE this salad’s amazing Southwest flavors!

Really hope you will give this salad a try… we really enjoyed it, and were quite full afterwards! Have a great day, and remember to be KIND. Everyone is facing a battle of some kind and YOU might be the one person to brighten their entire day!

Marinated Grilled Pork Chops

Marinated grilled pork chops feature thick boneless chops, seasoned in a light lemon juice, olive oil and herb marinade, then grilled to delicious perfection!

I recently tried a new recipe for Marinated Grilled Pork Chops that I found online. Talk about EASY and tasty!!! Boneless pork chops are marinated in a simple sauce of lemon juice, olive oil and a few basic herbs, then are grilled and served to the “hungering mob”. Easy!

I really think you will enjoy these easy to prepare pork chops. Here’s how to make them:

Make The Marinade

The process couldn’t have been simpler! Here’s the ingredients for the simple marinade: Lemon juice, olive oil, garlic powder, basil, oregano, salt and pepper. (I was happy to be able to use dried basil and oregano from our garden as part of this marinade – note my “classy” labels on the jars! Ha Ha).

In a small bowl, add the ingredients for the marinade. (*Note: This recipe makes enough marinade for 6 servings. I only made 3 pork chops, since I was cooking only for my husband and myself, but still used the original amount of marinade as called for in the recipe).

Use a fork or whisk to completely blend these ingredients together. It will look like this.

Marinate The Pork Chops

Place the pork chops in a container (with a lid) or a large sealable freezer bag. I used a bag, then placed it in a bowl (to stabilize bag and to catch any leakage). Pour the marinade over the pork chops, squishing the bag around to coat all pieces with marinade.

Let the chops marinade for several hours in the refrigerator. (I made mine up early in the morning and let them soak in the marinade all day). The olive oil will congeal after several hours refrigeration, but take the chops out of fridge about 30 minutes before grilling, and it will return to a liquid stage, as it warms up.

Cooking Marinated Grilled Pork Chops

When ready to cook, preheat your BBQ grill (or indoor grill) on medium-high heat. Discard the extra marinade from the bag. Grill the pork chops for 5-7 minutes per side. Don’t overcook the chops (or they will be DRY).

Once done, the marinated grilled pork chops should have reached an internal temperature of 145 degrees (you can check with a meat thermometer if you have one). My husband grilled these outside on our Weber BBQ, and they were full of smoky flavor!

Remove the pork chops from the grill and let them sit for about 5 minutes to let the juices redistribute. After that, serve them to the ones you love, and enjoy this simple to prepare main dish. It’s a perfect recipe for summertime, when you don’t want to heat up the kitchen!

Have a wonderful day! Think of someone you might encourage with a kind word or deed today… they may need that boost of encouragement more than you thought!
