A Taste of Princess^® — Recipe of the Month July

When you travel with Princess you enjoy a variety of freshly prepared cuisine perfectly suited to the time of year.  And this summer, our chef's have created a fresh off the grill twist on the classic chicken salad — as innovative as it is delicious. Perfect for entertaining, this meal will delight your friends with its bright colors and crisp, summertime flavors.

Ingredients:
4 boneless, skinless breast halves
Extra virgin olive oil
A touch of cider vinegar
Salt and pepper
Sugar
½ cup mayonnaise
1 tblsp. plus ½ tblsp. chives, divided
½ cup plus 1 ½ cups corn kernels, divided
1 medium red tomato,  peeled, seeded and chopped
2 medium tomatoes of a different color; green, yellow or orange
½ green bell pepper, seeded and chopped
½ red bell pepper, seeded and chopped
2 green onions, trimmed and chopped
2 shallots, chopped
6 oz. mixed salad greens

Method of Preparation: Preheat grill. Brush the chicken breast halves with olive oil. Season with salt, pepper and a pinch of sugar. Grill about 6 minutes on each side until chicken is cooked throughout. Remove from heat and cool 5–10 minutes. Chop coarsely and set aside to cool to room temperature, about 15 minutes.

In a medium bowl, mix chopped chicken, mayonnaise, 1 tablespoon chives and ½ cup corn kernels. Add additional mayonnaise if mixture seems too dry. Chicken salad can be refrigerated for several hours at this point if not ready to serve.

In a separate bowl, combine tomatoes, green pepper, red pepper, green onions, ½ tablespoon chives, remaining 1 ½ cups corn kernels and shallots. Drizzle with olive oil and a touch of cider vinegar and season with salt and pepper to taste. To serve, place a bed of mixed salad greens on each plate. Top with chicken salad. Spoon tomato-corn salsa on the side.
