El Pollo Loco Grilled Chicken Salad Recipe

[Ayana Hammerschmidt]

I used Goya yellow rice and omitted the Adobe seasoning bc I didnt have any. It was very good! Definitely will add to my rotation. To make it easier I even used the Tyson diced chicken that was precooked and just heated up and cooked with the rice. Also used stainless steel pot but I did plug the holes with a paper towel. Thanks for the recipe!!

Pasta salads are incredibly delicious with such minimal efforts. This spaghetti salad is not the exception and pairs so good with many other recipes. In fact, pasta salads are often the perfect accompaniment for many Mexican dishes. I specifically like the combination with my oregano chicken recipe, a classic from Oaxaca, Mexico. This recipe does not disappoint!


This recipe is delicious. Every time I make anything Mexican now, my kids ask if I am making this rice with it. The chicken in this recipe is delicious as well. I have made this several times. I always keep the ingredients on hand for the rice.


Made this tonight. Pollo loco is one of my favorite Mexican dishes. Absolutely loved it!!!! I added cilantro and put it on a tortilla. I also sliced up an avocado and lime. Great recipe. Thanks for sharing.


Love this recipe! Sometimes I make the rice as a side dish to other Mexican entrees. I adapted the rice recipe for the Instant Pot by reducing liquids to 1 cup chicken broth and 1/4 cup tomato sauce/puree, to satisfy the rule of thumb liquid to rice ratio of 1:1. Sauteed the rice and seasoning just like the recipe states, then cook manual (high pressure) for 3 minutes and natural pressure release (at least 15 minutes, i let mine go closer to 30 because i was doing something else). Worked like a charm and didn't have to watch the pot!! Thanks for a great recipe!!

I love this El Pollo Loco chicken recipe because I can use it in a variety of Mexican dishes throughout the week calling for shredded chicken and it gives it a nice flavor that is different from shredded rotisserie chicken in a recipe. For any of the recipes below, instead of making the chicken like the recipe asks, just substitute shredded El Pollo Loco chicken!

Updated November 2023! El Pollo Loco, Inc. is a fast food chain specializing in Mexican-style grilled chicken. But they offer other options, too. They do not have an allergen chart, but their staff has been very helpful with our inquiries. They helped us to unearth an entire menu of dairy-free options, and even some vegan choices, too.


Probably one of my favorite options here at El Pollo Loco. Without ordering any meals, you can simply get meat to eat immediately or take it home for later. You can choose from the fire-grilled chicken breast, fire-grilled chicken thighs, fire-grilled chicken wing or leg.


El Pollo Loco, or "The Crazy Chicken," has been growing like mad since it crossed over the border into the United States from Mexico. Francisco Ochoa unknowingly started a food phenomenon internacional in 1975 when he took a family recipe for chicken marinade and opened a small roadside restaurante in Gusave, Mexico. He soon had 90 stores in 20 cities throughout Mexico. The first El Pollo Loco in the United States opened in Los Angeles in December 1980 and was an immediate success. It was only three years later that Ochoa got the attention of bigwigs at Dennys, Inc., who offered him $11.3 million for his U.S. operations. Ochoa took the deal, and El Pollo Loco grew from 17 to more than 200 outlets over the following decade.


Menu Description: "A large flour tortilla topped with melted Monterey Jack and cheddar cheeses, grilled chipotle chicken, shredded lettuce and pico de gallo. Rolled, sliced and served with a Mexi-ranch dipping sauce."



Take Applebee's delicious chicken chipotle chicken, roll it up in a large flour tortilla with lettuce, cheeses and fresh pico de gallo, and you've got a meal to wrap your hands around. Use my Applebee's Chicken Fajita Roll-up recipe below to make it at home.


The Mexi-ranch dipping sauce is the perfect creamy compliment for this wrap, and you can use what's left over for a dressing on your next salad. The sauce recipe is actually just a kicked-up ranch dressing that includes a small amount of buttermilk in the ingredients list. But if you don't want to buy a whole carton of buttermilk to use just a tablespoon for this recipe, that's okay. Substitute the regular moo juice you've got sitting in the fridge.


This creamy green sauce is available at the salsa bar at each of the 389 El Pollo Loco outlets located throughout the western United States, and folks are going crazy over it. The problem is, you can only get it in small quantities at the restaurant, and once you taste a little there you're going to want a lot more of it at home. Use a food processor to mix this one up (everything but the cilantro and onion goes in there) and prepare for a delicious, spicy concoction that you can pour over your favorite homemade Mexican-style dishes, from taco salads to fajitas. Big props go out to Pancho Ochoa, who opened his first roadside chicken stand in Guasave, Mexico in 1975. Today Pancho's El Pollo Loco is the number one quick-service, flame-broiled chicken chain in America.


Menu Description: "Lightly-dusted, stir-fried in a sweet Szechwan sauce." (Our version of General Chu's.)



The delicious sweet-and-spicy secret sauce is what makes this dish one of P. F. Chang's top picks. Once the sauce is finished, all you have to do is sauté your chicken and combine. You'll want to cook up some white or brown rice, like at the restaurant. If you can't find straight chili sauce for my P.F. Chang's spicy chicken recipe, the more common chili sauce with garlic in it will work just as well.


Menu Description: "A premium charbroiled chicken breast with sweet teriyaki sauce, grilled pineapple, Swiss cheese, lettuce, tomatoes and mayo. Why did the chicken cross the Pacific? Now you know."



You're out there on the front line hanging over the grill. The smoke's in your eyes, the hair on your forearm is singed, and your sunburn is heading toward 2nd degree. But you don't care, because it's Saturday and you still get all of Sunday to heal. So whip out some chicken and grab the mallet or tenderizer to pound the chicken to a uniform thickness. That works best when building these chicken sandwiches. The sweet and salty flavors of the custom secret teriyaki marinade go perfectly with the grilled pineapple and Swiss cheese.


My Red Robin Teriyaki Chicken Burger recipe is for one sandwich, but you'll have enough teriyaki marinade to make several sandwiches. Just be sure to watch the pineapple and chicken carefully while over the flames, since the teriyaki marinade has sugar in it and could cause nasty flare-ups and charring.


Sliced chicken breast, romaine lettuce, pico de gallo, tortilla strips, and cotija cheese make up El Pollo Loco's Caesar Salad, but it is the fantastic creamy cilantro dressing recipe that gets the raves. Use my El Pollo Loco Creamy Cilantro Dressing recipe below and simply combine the ingredients in a blender. You'll soon have more than one cup of the delicious dressing cloned and ready to pour over any of your home salad creations.
