Recipe by Shawna This fried chicken and rice salad with bacon dressing is an old favorite of mine.

Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup yellow cornmeal
  • 1/3 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper
  • 1/2 cup buttermilk
  • 2/3 cup vegetable oil
  • 1 pound skinless, boneless chicken breast halves
  • 2 cups cooked white rice
  • 1/4 cup chopped red bell pepper
  • 1/4 cup chopped green bell pepper
  • 1/4 cup chopped red onion
  • 1/2 head romaine lettuce - rinsed, dried and shredded
  • 5 slices bacon
  • 3 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • 1/2 teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, sift together the cornmeal, flour, salt, black pepper and red pepper.
  2. Pour buttermilk in a separate large bowl.
  3. Heat the oil in a large, deep skillet over medium-high heat.

  5. Combine the rice, red bell peppers, green bell peppers, onion, and chicken in medium bowl. Place lettuce on bottom of 4 servings bowls or plates. Top with rice and chicken mixture.
