Seems more like a pesto than a chutney to me. Nevertheless, it makes for a very tasty way to serve grilled chicken thighs. Will make again.

I made the cilantro mint chutney and served it with grilled lamp chops instead of the chicken thighs. The chutney comes together quickly and is delicious. The bright notes of the cilantro and mint contrast nicely with the richness of the meat.

Loved this! We don't have a grill, so I cooked the chicken in the broiler, and it turned out super moist and flavorful. This marinade is really tasty and works well even after less than two hours in the fridge (I could only manage about 90 minutes). The chutney is a great topping that would also be good on veggies. I served this with cous cous and Moroccan Spiced Baby Carrots (another CL recipe).
