Directions

MANGO-CILANTRO RELISH

MARINADE

CHICKEN

For relish: Combine the mangoes, onion, cilantro, citrus juices, and olive oil in a medium bowl and season with salt and pepper. Let sit 30 minutes at room temperature. May be refrigerated up to 1 day, serve at room temperature. Makes 4 cups.

To make marinade: In food processor, place all ingredients and process until smooth.

To marinate chicken: Pierce chicken all over with a fork. Place in a large shallow dish or baking pan. Cover with marinade and marinade 24-48 hours depending on how flavorful and hot you want the chicken to be. Refrigerate during marination.

To cook, preheat GF Grill. When hot, let excess marinade drip off chicken.

Place on GF Grill. Cook 6 minutes on each side, or it might need more. When you think it is done, take it off the grill and let it sit for a moment or two then cut into it. If it bleeds a bit, return to the grill for 1-2 minutes. If clear juices run, take off and leave off.

To serve: Place chicken on plate, surrounded by the relish. If you like, serve with white rice or a rice pilaf and something to tame the fire of the hot peppers like sour cream or plain yogurt. Also maybe some Jamaican beer.
