directions

  • 1

    Make the salad dressing by mixing the ingredients in a small bowl by hand. Store in a covered container in the fridge until the salad is ready.

  • 2

    Combine the water, lime juice, soy sauce and Worcestershire in a medium bowl; stir. Add the chicken to the lime juice mixture. Cover the bowl and keep in the fridge overnight or for at least a few hours.

  • 3

    Combine the spices for the spice blend in a small bowl. Sprinkle a teaspoonful over one side of the chicken breasts, cover the entire surface with spice.

  • 4

    Melt the butter in a hot pan. Sear the chicken breasts for 2-3 minutes.

  • 5

    While the 1st side is cooking, sprinkle another teaspoonful of the spice blend over the top of each breast. Flip over and sear for another 2-3 minutes. Surface of the chicken should be charred and black.

  • 6

    Finish the chicken off on your grill or broiler by cooking both sides for 2-3 minutes or until done.

  • 7

    While the chicken is cooking, prepare the salads. Place the lettuce into 2 large bowls. Add the cabbage and carrots.

  • 8

    Mix the cheeses together and top the salads with the cheeses and half of the hard-boiled egg. Sprinkle diced tomato on each salad.

  • 9
