Combine diced watermelon with other vitamin C-containing ingredients such as bell pepper and lime juice to make a sweet and tangy salsa for the spicy grilled chicken. To make preparation of the salsa easy, buy a container of cubed watermelon in the produce section of the grocery store and cut the chunks up into smaller pieces.
This is the perfect Summer dish. I used chicken cutlets, cooked faster. This is spicy, colorful and light.
Really, really good. My eyes widened on the first bite good. The kick of the jalapeno is sweetly tempered by the watermelon. The original recipe is just wonderful. I did make the following revisions based on the preference of palates in the household. Marinade: used Sriracha hot sauce and added a tsp of minced garlic. I let it sit for just under 2 hours, turning occasionally. Salsa: added just a tbsp of minced red onion. I don't have a grill but used a George Foreman, I'd encourage the use of a true grill if available. Accompanied with sauteed corn & wilted spinach (sauteed w/olive oil, red wine vinegar, salt, pepper, cajun seasoning, and a touch of brown sugar), and a green salad (spinach, cucumber, sliced sweet baby bell pepper, radishes, red onion, fresh cilantro, and homemade dressing of olive oil, cider vinegar, dijon mustard, minced garlic, fresh cilantro, salt & pepper). Mwah!
I love this marinade. I do it for 1 hour and sometimes overnight! I also sometimes make another batch of marinade for dipping if i can't let it sit overnight. I also usually pound the chicken thin so it grills more evenly. I'm not a big fan of citrus salsa - so I only cook the chicken part.
My husband and I make this recipe all the time. It's perfect for a warm summer night cook-out.
This is very tasty. We couldn't let it marinate for the full hour, but it was still quite tasty. More marinating would probably make it a bit more juicy. It's very easy and well worth the extra step of making the salsa.
I had some chicken to cook, so I picked up my Cooking Light Chicken recipe book. I had most of the ingredients so we made this one. We were very happy. Just served with a little brown rice.
For all of you who wonder what to serve at your next dinner party, this is the entree. I have been serving this dish since it debuted on the cover many years ago. Each time, I get nothing but raves! Even the most finicky of eaters love it. It has now become my signature dish and get requests to prepare this meal at every dinner party I host.
My boyfriend and I thought this was delicious. I used 2 heaping tablespoons of chile paste in the marinade, and was generous with my measurements of the ingredients in the salsa. I don't know how anyone could say this was bland! Served with sauteed broccoli and brown basmati rice. We'll definitely be making this again!
Fabulous recipe!! Will definitely be making this again for guests. Beautiful presentation and incredibly flavorful, and very easy to make.
