Ingredients
Tandoori Chicken:
1 lb chicken breasts, chopped in 2-inch cubes
1 teaspoon sea salt
1/2 cup Rupen's Tandoori Marinade
1 Tablespoon olive oil
Asparagus:
10 asparagus, chop off the bottom 3 inches, and cut the asparagus in 2 inch pieces
1/4 teaspoon sea salt
1 teaspoon olive oil
Orange Vinaigrette:
1/4 cup olive oil
2 oranges
2 cups pinto beans

Instructions
Tandoori Chicken:
In a medium-size mixing bowl, add chicken, salt, oil, and marinade. Mix.
Skewer chicken on 3 mini-skewers and grill. Follow manufacturer's instructions.
If you are cooking chicken on an iron skillet (like we did), then, over medium heat, place chicken skewers on a seasoned iron skillet—Cook for 7 minutes.
Carefully flip the chicken pieces using a pair of tongs, and cook for 5 minutes.
Remove from the skillet and set aside to cool.
Asparagus:
Once you have wiped off chicken drippings in the same skillet, add oil, asparagus, and sea salt. Toss. Cook for 6 minutes.
Remove and set aside to cool.
Orange Vinaigrette:
In a small bowl, add orange zest and olive oil, whisk for a minute. This is your vinaigrette.
Salad:
Make sure all the ingredients are room temperature.
Add the vinaigrette to a mixing bowl. Add beans, asparagus, and chicken. Gently toss.
Cover and refrigerate for a couple of hours.
Right before serving, garnish with orange segments and cilantro.
