INSTRUCTIONS
Prepare the chicken: In a bowl let the chicken marinate in the lime
juice with the oregano and salt and pepper to taste, covered and
chilled, for at least 30 minutes or up to 1 hour. Drain the chicken,
pat it dry, and brush it with the oil. Grill the chicken, seasoned
with salt and pepper, on a well-oiled rack set about 6 inches over
glowing coals for 6 to 7 minutes on each side, or until it is just
cooked through. (Alternately, the chicken can be grilled on top of the
stove in a ridged grill pan over moderately high heat for about the
same length of time.) Transfer the chicken to a cutting board and let
it stand for 10 minutes. Make the tortilla crisps while the chicken
is grilling: In a heavy skillet heat 1/2 inch oil to 375F. on a
deep-fat thermometer and in it fry the tortilla triangles in batches
for 45 seconds to 1 minute, or until they are golden, transferring
them with a slotted spatula as they are fried to paper towels to drain
and sprinkling them with salt. The tortilla crisps may be made 1 day
in advance and kept in an airtight container. In a large bowl combine
the corn, the bell pepper, and the scallions, add the lime juice, the
oregano, the cumin, the oil, and salt and black pepper to taste, and
toss the mixture until it is combined well. Cut the chicken lengthwise
into thin slices and add it to the corn mixture with any juices that
have accumulated on the cutting board. Divide the arugula and the
tortilla crisps among 4 plates and mound the chicken salad in the
center of each plate. Serves 4. Gourmet June 1990 Converted by
