Brought by Jamie
Recipe from My Recipe Garden

INGREDIENTS
2 Grilled Chicken Breasts
1 cup Green Chile Chutney (click on link) 
2 cups Fresh Pico De Gallo
1 cup Shredded Cheese (a mix of cheddar and jack cheese)
8 cups of Fresh Lettuce mix (a combination of red and green leaf is optimal)

DIRECTIONS
For the chicken:
Marinate chicken breasts in 1 cup of lime juice and 1 cup oil, let stand for at least two hours in the refrigerator.

On a hot grill, grill the chicken with a bit of balsamic vinegar, until done and set aside to rest. Once the chicken has had time to cool, shred into small pieces.

For onion:
Slice 1 whole white onion into slices. In a medium saute pan, add 2 TBL spoons of oil and saute the onions until they are translucent.

Once the onions are done, add the shredded chicken and a cup of Green Chile Chutney, and saute all together until well heated.

Assembly:
On individual plates, pile with mixed greens, add a cup of Fresh Pico De Gallo. Add the warm chicken mixture and top with cheese and a cilantro lime dressing. Serve.
