Recipe by: 106a802496d678ba

"This fried chicken and rice salad with bacon dressing is an old favorite of mine."

Directions

1In a large bowl, sift together the cornmeal, flour, salt, black pepper and red pepper.
2Pour buttermilk in a separate large bowl.
3Heat the oil in a large, deep skillet over medium-high heat.
4Dip the chicken in the buttermilk, then in cornmeal mixture. Coat lightly and cook in hot oil until crispy and golden brown, about 5 minutes. Drain on paper towels; keep warm.
5Combine the rice, red bell peppers, green bell peppers, onion, and chicken in medium bowl. Place lettuce on bottom of 4 servings bowls or plates. Top with rice and chicken mixture.
6Prepare the dressing by placing the bacon in a large, deep skillet. Cook over medium high heat until evenly brown. Drain, crumble and set aside. Sprinkle crumbled bacon over chicken mixture.
7Pour off all but 2 tablespoons drippings. Add 2 tablespoons water, cider vinegar, honey, mustard, salt and pepper; heat just to boiling and pour over salad.
