A delicious, healthy meal that is perfect for those cool summer months.
Ingredients
750gm (1.5 lbs) chicken thigh (breast also works)
1/2 cup olive oil
1/3 cup lime juice
1 lime, zested
3/4 cup freshly squeezed orange juice
1-2 tbsp honey
1 tbsp ground cumin
3 tbsp soy sauce
4 cloves garlic, minced
1 tbsp fresh ginger, grated
1/2 cup, chopped coriander/cilantro
1 cup ripe mango, diced
1/2 cup red onion, diced
1 avocado, diced
1/3 cup capsicum (bell pepper), diced
1 tbsp jalapenos, finely diced
1 tbsp freshly squeezed orange Juice
1 tbsp lime juice
1 tsp ground cumin
1 cup white rice
2.5 cups water
1.5-2 tsp chicken stock powder
2 tbsp lime juice
1 tbsp butter
1/3 cup coriander, finely chopped
MANGO SALSA
CORIANDER LIME RICE
Directions
MARINATE CHICKEN
In a large bowl, whisk together all of the marinade ingredients. Remove 1/2 Cup and pour the remainder into an extra Large Zip-lock bag.
Place in the bag with the rest of the marinade. Place in the fridge for around 1-8 hrs - Make sure to flip the bag halfway through the time it is in the fridge.
COOK RICE
Bring water,stock powder, butter and rice to a boil over medium-high heat. Reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer until the rice is cooked through and tender. Stir in the lime juice, lime zest, coriander/cilantro, and salt + pepper to taste.
MAKE THE MANGO SALSA
While rice is cooking. Grab a medium bowl, add all the salsa ingredients. Season the salsa to taste and toss together. Set Aside
COOK THE CHICKEN
Lightly oil a large fry pan and then place the marinated chicken on the grill.
Grill for 10-12 minutes or until chicken juices run clear. Flip the chicken halfway and brush it generously with the reserved 1/2 cup marinade.
BRING IT ALL TOGETHER!
Place rice onto shallow bowl or plate. Place slices of the chicken and spoonfuls of the salsa. Enjoy while its warm!
I never cook anything aside from stir fry and this is my first dish that I cook with lots of ingredients in it. I dislike ginger and coriander smell so I swap the ginger with ginger paste in the marinade and still using coriander. Turn out I cant smell the coriander at all in the chicken and rice. And you bet!!! the TASTE oh my…I wanna cry because I never cook anything like this and turn out so good. (not someone who knows the proper way to cook rice on pot so my rice turned out not the best but still loving it esp the flavour). Thank you Molly for the recipe.
