Preparation

Step 1

To prepare the marinade and salad dressing, in a medium bowl, combine the cilantro, the juices, shallots, garlic, chili powder, cumin and sugar; pour 1/2 cup of this mixture into a gallon-size sealable plastic bag; add the chicken. Seal the bag, squeezing out the air; turn to coat the chicken. Refrigerate at least 2 hours or overnight, turning the bag occasionally. Pour the remaining dressing into a jar and refrigerate, covered, until ready to use.

In a large salad bowl, combine the lettuce, oranges, celery and scallions; refrigerate, covered, until ready to use.

Preheat the broiler; line the broiler pan with foil. Drain the chicken and discard the marinade. Broil the chicken 5 inches from the heat, until cooked through, 5 to 6 minutes on each side. Transfer to a board and slice diagonally.

Add the reserved dressing to the salad mixture; toss to coat. Top with the chicken.
