Since I have over indulged I'm posting this as my salvation for tomorrow's dinner. I know you will enjoy it too! Note: those sensitive to peanuts beware!
Summer's here and there are so many fresh fruits and veggies available to make so many great meals. All you must do is have a few ingredients and buy either boneless chicken breasts or use thighs. You choose! I opted for boneless chicken breasts.
This meal was not only refreshing but also very tasty. The peanut sauce is a must! I didn't use organic peanut butter (I thought I had some but didn't so I used Jif). Luckily I had all ingredients handy.
This recipe was one that I came across in one of my magazines but unfortunately I can't remember which one :(.
I browse through magazines and quickly type several up that appeal to me. I did adapt it to our liking opting to use chicken breasts instead of chicken thighs. Enjoy!!
Happy Cooking from my kitchen to yours,
1 1/2 cups diced cantaloupe (try any sweet fruit in season)
1 cup diced seedless cucumber
3 to 4 tablespoons fresh lime juice
2 tablespoons finely chopped red onion (I eliminated this, using sweet onion) My red onions are always bitter) I don't know the problem.
1 tablespoon chopped fresh mint(substituted dried parsley)
2 tsp. olive oil
2 tsp. honey
2 tsp. organic peanut butter (Jif) I do really love organic peanut butter
2 tsp. reduced sodium soy sauce
1 lb. thin sliced boneless skinless chicken breast
Stir together cantaloupe, cucumber, lime juice,onion, chopped mint, oil and 1 tsp. of the honey in a medium bowl. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Cover and chill at least 15 minutes.
** Note: Whisk together peanut butter, soy sauce, 1/4 cup water and remaining 1 tsp. honey in small bowl for sauce while relish chills. Season with salt and pepper to taste.( I microwaved for 20 seconds to blend mixture)
Prepare lightly oiled grill for medium high heat. (You an broil or pan fry chicken too!)
Note: ( I panned fried mine and brushed with peanut sauce) Served extra peanut sauce on side. When I served the chicken I sliced the breast on an angle.
Season chicken with pinch salt and pepper..Grill chicken, turning, until golden brown on both sides and cooked through about 4 minutes.
Halve chicken crosswise and transfer to 4 serving plates. Top with sauce and serve with relish..Garnish with mint leaves.
