In an effort to redeem myself after the last post titled "Gourmet Cuisine" I thought I would share our newest favorite. We like to call this Chocolate Chicken, but the original blog author at A Bountiful Kitchen calls it Texas Grilled Chicken with Lime Butter Sauce. Whatever you call it, we are sure you will call it good.
Mix together:
1 Tb brown sugar
1 Tb chili powder
1 Tb cinnamon
1 tsp cocoa powder
1 Tb vinegar (balsamic or rice vinegar)
3 Tb olive oil
Mix well, then baste onto chicken breasts right before you grill them. We have only made this on the indoor grill, but I am sure the flame broil would make it even better.
1/2 cup butter, melted
2 Tb dried onions, chopped
1 lime, juiced
2 Tb cilantro, chopped
salt and pepper to taste
Mix these together and drizzle over grilled chicken. I am more generous on the lime juice than the original recipe calls for, but we like the extra kick. And what a shame to just use a couple of tablespoons of fresh lime juice, when you have the whole lime just sitting there! We especially liked the butter sauce drizzled over rice--it made a quick and fresh version of the rice often called Cafe Rio Rice.

Mango Chutney
Sam served a mission in the Philippines, and fell in love with the plentiful fresh mangoes. We love the dried mangoes that come from there, and very occasionally I will take my chances on purchasing a fresh one. Costco recently had pre-cut fresh mangoes for a good deal, and I decided that this is the only way to buy a fresh mango--someone else gets to peel and pit, and I bring home just the juicy meat of a ripe mango. And all of this was just in time for Father's Day last week. Here is the recipe I used--after combining elements from several recipes I looked up. We loved it over grilled chicken:
2 large mangoes, cut into chunks
1/2 c sugar
1/4 c green onions, diced (I prefer just the green tops for a more mild flavor)
2 Tb diced sweet red pepper
1/2 tsp ginger
1/4 tsp turmeric
salt and pepper to taste
Mix together, let chill for an hour before you serve it over grilled chicken (this would be very good over halibut or salmon, too!).
