Directions
- In a large bowl, add lemon juice, zest, yogurt, olive oil and spices and salt and pepper and whisk together to combine. Add chicken, tossing to coat, then cover and refrigerate for at least 15 minutes, or up to 2 hours.
- Once chicken has marinated, oil grill grates and preheat grill to medium high. Remove chicken from marinade, letting excess marinade drip off, and grill for about 7 minutes on each side. Remove from the grill and tent with foil while you prepare the salad.
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees and line a baking tray with parchment paper. In a medium bowl, whisk tamari, maple syrup, smoked paprika and cayenne (if using), then add coconut, tossing to coat.
- On baking sheet, spread coconut into an even layer and bake for about 10 to 12 minutes, flipping flakes halfway through, until golden brown. Let cool until crisp.
- On a large platter, arrange salad ingredients, then top with sliced chicken.
- In a small jar with a tight fitting lid, combine all dressing ingredients Shake until emulsified. Serve dressing beside salad, and enjoy.
