Grilled
Chicken Salad With Mangoes And Greens
Sometime
summer eating needs to be light, and just because you are
having a barbecue doesn't mean your meal needs to be heavy,
fattening, or boring for that matter either! Fresh herbs are
so easy to grow, and nothing is better than finding innovative
ways to cook with them. Fresh thyme complements grilled chicken
in this main course salad BBQ recipe that's simple to
make, and low-fat too. Whenever possible, choose fresh thyme
over the dried form of the herb since it is superior in flavor.
The leaves of fresh thyme should look fresh, be a vibrant
green-gray color, and free from dark spots or
yellowing. I also prefer to use free range, hormone and antibiotic
free chicken, which if you've never tried, will influence the
taste of your dish quite a bit.
On a large plate, drizzle the chicken with 1 tablespoon of
the oil.
Coat with
the scallions, 1 teaspoon of the thyme, and salt and pepper
to taste.
Turn to coat it
well, and allow to marinate at room temperature, turning
it once, for 30 minutes.
In
a small bowl whisk together the vinegar, the shallot, the
remaining thyme, and salt and pepper to taste. Add the remaining
4
tablespoons oil in a stream, whisking
until mixture is emulsified.
Grill the chicken on an oiled rack set 5 to 6 inches over
glowing coals
for 4 to 5 minutes on each side, or until it is cooked through.
In a
large bowl toss the romaine, the watercress, the cabbage, and
the mango with just enough of the vinaigrette to coat the salad
well.
Transfer
the salad to a platter, and top it with the chicken. Serve
the remaining vinaigrette separately.
