Directions
- I cannot think of better eating on a hot summer evening than this light, easy-to-make dish. The unusual, tangy heat of the Piri Piri-a Portuguese/African rendition of the Creole or possibly Cajun chili pepper condiment-is offset by the cold, refreshing flavors of the salad.
- Prepare the Piri Piri at least a week ahead. Prepare the Jicama Orange Salad, and set aside. Sprinkle 1 tsp. Southwest Seasoning on each chicken breast, using your hands to coat both sides thoroughly. Heat 1 Tbsp. of the Piri Piri in a large skillet over high heat. Add in the chicken and saute/fry' till brown, for about 3 min on each side, then turn again and cook for another 2 min, for a total of 8 min. Remove from the heat, and remove the chicken with tongs. Heat the remaining 7 Tbsp. Piri Piri in a small saucepan till warm and bubbling, for about 2 min. To serve, place 1 chicken breast on each of 4 plates and top with 3/4 c. of the Jicama Orange Salad. Spoon 1 1/2 Tbsp. of the heated Piri Piri over all.
