Asian-Spiced Grilled Chicken and Mango

Serving Size: 4

Ingredients:
4 boneless and skinless chicken breasts
2 firm, ripe mangoes
2 oranges
1/4 cup balsamic vinegar
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
6 cup frisee salad greens
8 cups lettuce
1/2 cup raspberries (optional)
Salt and pepper to taste

Chicken Marinade:
1/2 cup reduced-sodium soy sauce
1/4 cup vegetable oil
1 tablespoon garlic, minced
1 tablespoon fresh ginger, minced
1 tablespoon juniper berries, crushed
1 tablespoon grated orange peel

Directions:

  1. In a large bowl, combine soy sauce, vegetable oil, garlic, ginger, juniper berries, and orange peel. Add chicken and marinate 15 minutes, turning often.
  2. Meanwhile, with a sharp knife, cut skin from mangoes. Cut 2 rounded cheeks from each pit. Trim remaining 1/2-inch of flesh from edge of each mango; mince these trimmings and reserve for mango vinaigrette.
  3. Cut and discard peel and white membrane from oranges. Slice each orange crosswise into 6 rounds. Set aside.
  4. Lift chicken from marinade and place on a baking sheet (reserve marinade for basting).
  5. Set mango cheeks on a lightly oiled grill above a solid bed of hot coals in a barbecue with a lid, or use a gas grill on high heat (you can hold your hand at grill level only 2 to 3 seconds); close lid on gas grill.
  6. Baste chicken and mango with reserved marinade. Using a spatula, turn chicken and mangoes when they start to brown, in about 5 minutes. Baste again; cover barbecue. Let chicken and mango cook until no pink remains when chicken is cut in thickest part, about 15 to 20 minutes; turn and baste chicken and mangoes every 5 minutes (depending on mango ripeness, cooking time may be less than for the chicken; remove mangoes when soft and seared).
  7. Meanwhile, combine minced mango with vinegar and mustard. Mix with frisee and lettuce. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
  8. Evenly divide among 4 dinner plates. Lay mangoes cut side down; slice each into 3/8-inch wide slices, starting 1/2 inch from top down through wide bottom end. With a wide spatula, transfer slices to plates atop greens. Gently fan slices apart. Lay chicken and oranges next to mangoes; sprinkle with raspberries.
