This Low Carb Gazpacho with Lime Chicken is one of my favorite summer recipes. Gazpacho is a classic Spanish recipe – a chilled tomato soup made with raw, blended vegetables. It is eaten during the long hot Spanish summers, as it is cool and refreshing. In this recipe I combine gazpacho with lime marinated chicken to make a tasty and satisfying summer meal.
To make this dish, I first marinate the chicken and grill it. To make the soup, I blend a mix of some (but not all) cucumber, bell pepper and tomatoes with olive oil and ice cubes to chill it. Then I divide the soup into bowls and top with the chicken and remaining tomatoes, bell pepper, cucumber and cilantro.
To make my version of Gazpacho with Lime Chicken, you will need the following ingredients:
Preheat the grill to a high heat.
Combine the lime juice, 2 tablespoons of the olive oil in a shallow bowl. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Place the chicken in the marinade and turn to coat fully.
Grill the chicken for about 3 minutes on each side until lightly golden and cooked through. Once cooked, set to one side and slice when it has cooled down.
Soak the minced shallot in a small bowl of cold water for about 10 minutes.
Crush half the croutons with a mortar and pestle. Place the remaining croutons in a bowl with ¼ cup of water and soak. After about 5 minutes, squeeze out the excess water and place them in a food processor or blender.
Add half each of the diced tomatoes, cucumber and bell pepper to the food processor. Drain the shallot and add that too. Start the motor and drizzle in the remaining olive oil.
Add the ice and blend until the soup is smooth.
Add half the cilantro and the rest of the lime juice and stir well. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
Place the gazpacho in medium sized soup bowls. Top with the grilled chicken and the remaining veggies, cilantro and crushed croutons. Place some lime wedges on the side.
