NOTES : "As the seasons change so does the menu, at this popular 1064-unit casual restaurant chain. You’ll find this item in the “Low-Fat and Fabulous” column during the summer months where it’s been a favorite since 1997. As with any salad, the waistline violator is the traditionally fat-filled dressing that’s drizzled in gobs over the top of very healthy greens (a tablespoon of dressing is usually around 10-12 grams of fat each). So if we can just figure out a cool way to make the dressing fat-free, we’re well on our way to making huge salad – four of them to be exact – with only 12 grams of fat on the entire plate. Most of those grams come from the chicken breast, while the crunchy chow mein noodles pick up the rest. Just be sure to plan ahead when you make this one. The chicken should marinate for a few hours if you want it to taste like the original. Get ready for some big, meal-size salads."

Applebee's Low-Fat Blackened Chicken Salad -11 or 12 Points

Recipe By : Top Secret Recipes
Serving Size : 2 Preparation Time :0:00
Categories :
Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
DRESSING
1/4 cup fat-free mayonnaise
1/4 cup dijon mustard
1/4 cup honey
1 tablespoon prepared mustard
1 tablespoon white vinegar
1/8 teaspoon paprika
MARINADE
1 cup water
3 tablespoons lime juice
2 tablespoons soy sauce
1/2 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
CAJUN SPICE BLEND
1/2 tablespoon salt
1 teaspoon sugar
1 teaspoon paprika
1 teaspoon onion powder
1 teaspoon black pepper
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1/2 teaspoon white pepper
8 ounces boned and skinned chicken breasts
2 tablespoons reduced-calorie margarine
SALAD
8 cups iceberg lettuce -- chopped
1/2 cup shredded red cabbage
1/2 cup shredded carrots
1/2 cup fat-free mozzarella cheese
1/2 cup fat-free cheddar cheese
1 large tomato -- diced
1 hard-boiled egg -- diced

1. Make dressing by combining ingredients in a small bowl. Mix well by hand. Store in a covered container in the refrigerator until salad is ready.

2. Combine water, lime juice, soy sauce, and Worcestershire in a medium bowl, and stir. Add the chicken breasts to the marinade, cover bowl and keep in refrigerator for several hours. Overnight is even better.

3. When chicken is marinated, preheat a frying pan or skillet (an iron skillet, if you’ve got it) over medium/high heat. Also, preheat your barbecue grill to medium/high heat.

4. Combine the spices for the Cajun spice blend in a small bowl. Sprinkle a teaspoon of the spice blend over one side of each of the chicken breasts. Cover the entire surface of the chicken with spice.

5. Melt the butter in the hot pan, then sear the chicken breasts for 2-3 minutes on the side with the spices. While first side cooks, sprinkle another teaspoon of spice over the top of each chicken breast, coating that side as you did the other. Flip the chicken over, and sear for another 2-3 minutes. The surface of the chicken will be coated with a charred, black layer of flavor. This is exactly what you are shooting for.

6. Finish the chicken off on your barbecue grill. Grill each breast on both sides for 2-3 minutes, or until they are done.

7. While chicken is cooking prepare the salads by splitting the lettuce into two large bowls. Toss in the red cabbage and carrots. Mix the cheeses together, then top the salad with the cheeses and hard-boiled egg. Sprinkle the diced tomato on each salad.

8. Slice the chicken breast, across each breast in 1/2-inch-thick slices. S pread the chicken over the top of the salad and serve immediately with dressing on the side.

Are the points for 1/2 or the whole thing?
I thought Applebees Blackened Chicken salad was only 5.5 for small or 8 for large.
Thanks,
Paige

This is a copycat recipe so the points may be higher and this recipe makes 2 servings so the points are for 1 serving.

1 (3oz) boneless, skinless chicken breast
1 lrg salad (no dressing)
1pkg Taco seasoning
1pkg Fajita seasoning

Sprinkle Fajita seasoning, cook chicken in strips or cubes. Add water and taco mix. Cook til chicken absorbs some mix, and put it over the salad. The sauce acts as salad dressing.

3 points.
