Indian-Style Chicken with Grilled Mango Chutney
If you’ve ever tried to cut a mango and mangled the flesh, ending up with a mushy mess, check out the GHRI-tested OXO Good Grips mango splitter. It easily cuts through a firm-ripe mango, separating the seed from the flesh.
PREP: 20 minutes plus marinating GRILL: 28 to 33 minutes
MAKES: 4 main-dish servings
3 tablespoons plain low-fat yogurt
1 tablespoon paprika
1 ½ teaspoons ground cumin
1 ½ teaspoons ground coriander
½ teaspoon ground red pepper (cayenne)
1 garlic clove, crushed with garlic press
4 ½ teaspoons grated, peeled fresh ginger
¾ teaspoon salt
4 medium bone-in chicken breast halves (about 2 pounds total), skin removed
2 firm, ripe mangoes
1 tablespoon light brown sugar
1 tablespoon cider vinegar
1 small green onion, thinly sliced cooked basmati rice (optional)
1. In small bowl, mix yogurt, paprika, cumin, coriander, red pepper, garlic, 4 teaspoons ginger, and ½ teaspoon salt until blended. Pour yogurt marinade into large zip-tight plastic bag; add chicken, turning to coat. Seal bag, pressing out excess air. Place on plate and refrigerate at least 1 hour or up to 4 hours.
2. Prepare outdoor grill for covered direct grilling over medium heat.
3. Peel mangoes and cut lengthwise; slice from each side of long, flat seed, as close to seed as possible. Cut away remaining flesh from around seed in as few pieces as possible. Place mango on hot grill rack and cook until lightly charred and tender, about 8 minutes, turning over halfway through grilling. Transfer mangoes to cutting board and set aside until cool enough to handle.
4. Coarsely chop grilled mangoes and place in medium bowl. Add brown sugar, vinegar, green onion, remaining ¼ teaspoon salt, and remaining ½ teaspoon ginger; stir to combine. Makes about 2 cups.
5. Remove chicken from marinade; discard marinade. Place chicken on hot grill rack. Cover grill and cook until juices run clear when thickest part of breast is pierced with tip of knife, 20 to 25 minutes, turning over once. Place on platter and serve with mango chutney and, if you like, basmati rice.
