Caribbean Grilled Chicken Salad – For the taste of the tropics enjoy this Chili’s Caribbean Chicken Salad at home – easier than you think. It’s absolutely packed with flavor! 

Caribbean Grill Chicken Salad

When we go out to eat I rarely go for salads, unless it has a lot of layers to it. Why bother going out to eat salads anyways? They never leave you satisfied or full at least that is how I feel. Then you know what I end up doing? Filling myself with carbs – the bottomless breadbasket, don’t get me started on those restaurant bread rolls, biscuits etc., some of those breads are quite addictive! I’m addicted to carbs.

Caribbean Grill Chicken Salad

Since I was raised on French baguette and just can’t shake it off. See when it comes to bread I would just love to keep going. Back to this salad shall we?

If you are looking for a satisfying, delicious and full flavored salad, then look no further. I promise, you will not be disappointed. This one, my friends, is different. It will keep you satisfied and full for quite some time.

But I’m not going to lie when I saw this Caribbean Grilled Chicken Salad on Chili’s menu I was intrigued, I just had to try it. It was quite tasty!

This salad is inspired by Chili’s Caribbean grill chicken salad. Their salad is full of fruit, pineapple, cranberries mandarin, topped with teriyaki chicken, and a sweet honey mustard dressing, served with salsa and tortilla chips.

Caribbean Grill Chicken Salad

This is a variant on the salad with the help of Google I got some the major components in the dressing. And to make it truly Caribbean I added jerk seasoning to the teriyaki sauce, and included some plantain chips instead of tortilla chips. Also left out the mandarin and cranberries. Feel free to include them.

If you are not feeling the plantain chips, by all means, leave them out. It is all about what you like.

Enjoy!
