Grilled Chicken with Mango Corn Salsa

By Sweet July Admin

Good mango salsa atop grilled chicken: A perfect match. A simple grilled chicken dish is upgraded with juicy mango corn salsa. The combination of herbaceous cilantro and fresh jalapeño really gives this a kick. The honey bal.

Eating healthy and eating delicious are not mutually exclusive. It’s actually quite the opposite, and we think this salad proves it.

Chicken breast is a fantastic lean protein that just needs a little love to really shine. A good marinade and a grill or grill pan will do the trick—and this marinade is something special that we recommend you use over and over. The salad itself is layers upon layers of flavor with goat cheese, dried cherries, crisp apple and thinly sliced red onion. Pair with our Blush Sangria to make it a menu perfect for a warm summer evening.

Instructions

Prepare the Grilled Chicken

Place chicken in a large ziplock plastic bag. Whisk together vinegar, lemon juice, oil, sugar, mustard, salt, pepper and garlic in a bowl until combined; pour over chicken in bag. Add thyme and rosemary, seal bag, and massage the mixture to coat chicken. Refrigerate at least 1 hour or up to 4 hours.Remove chicken from bag, and discard marinade. Preheat grill to medium-high (400° to 450°). Place chicken on oiled grill grates; grill, covered (or cook chicken on the stove in an oiled grill-pan over medium-high), until a thermometer inserted into thickest portion of meat registers 165° and juices run clear, 6 to 8 minutes per side. Transfer chicken to a plate; let rest 5 minutes. Slice crosswise into 1/2-inch-thick slices, and set aside.

Prepare the Vinaigrette

Place all ingredients in a jar with a tight-fitting lid, and shake well until smooth and combined, about 1 minute.

Prepare the Salad

Divide kale, apple, cheese, onion and cherries evenly among 4 plates. Top evenly with Grilled Chicken and drizzle with Honey-Mustard Vinaigrette.
