Peel the roasted red bell pepper. Blend all the marinade ingredients together, then coat the washed and drained chicken pieces with the marinade. Cover and refrigerate overnight.

Prepare the salad an hour before cooking.
3

Heat a skillet over high heat. Add the ghee and oil, then sear the marinated chicken on high until browned. Turn off the heat, cover, and let it rest until warm.
