Michael's Grilled Chicken with Mango Mint Salsa
Chef Michael Andrews' "piece de resistance!" (Well, that and his Tres Leches (with 2 secret ingredients!) served at Havana Harry's, Coral Gables, Florida.) Serves 4 - 6.
To marinate the chicken:
… olive oil
… balsamic vinegar
… crushed clove of garlic
… bay leaf
… ground thyme
… marjoram
… salt and pepper
… 4 to 6 skinless chicken breasts
In a shallow pan, blend the oil, vinegar, garlic, herbs, salt and pepper to taste. Let stand in the refrigerator for at least one hour, flipping occasionally.
For the sauce:
… 3 mangoes, peeled and diced
… 1 cup of chopped mint
… 1 tablespoon minced or grated fresh ginger
… 2 cloves minced garlic
… 2 tablespoons rice vinegar
Toss all the sauce ingredients in a bowl. May stand at room temperature for up to 30 minutes before serving. Otherwise, refrigerate.
Grill (or broil) the marinated chicken. Serve topped with the salsa. Delicious alongside basmati rice.
