Recipe from: Melanie A.
(I made this without the chili chipotle powder because I didnt have it and it still turned out great!)
Honey-Citrus Vinaigrette:
1 garlic clove, minced
1/2 T grated onion
1/3 C fresh orange juice
3 T fresh lime juice
1 T honey
1 t cumin
1/2 t salt
1/4 t ground black pepper
1/2 C vegetable oil
Place all ingredients in a tightly sealed jar and shake your bootie (and the jar) vigorously. Store in the fridge, and shake before dressing salad
Spicy Honey Chicken:
2 t vegetable oil
Rub:
2 t granulated garlic
2 t chili powder
1/2 t onion powder
1/2 t coriander
1 t kosher salt
1 t cumin
1/2 t chipotle chili powder
8 boneless skinless chicken thighs
Glaze:
1/2 C Honey
1T Cider Vinegar
Combine the rub spices in bowl and mix well. Drizzle oil over chicken and rub in with your hands to lightly coat all the pieces. Then toss chicken with the spice rub to coat all sides well. Use your hands and get in there! Grill chicken a few minutes on each side, until cooked through.While chicken is cooking, warm honey in the microwave so it's not so thick. Add the vinegar and combine well. Reserve 2T honey glaze for later. Take the rest and brush on chicken (both sides) in the final moments of grilling. Drizzle the extra couple tablespoons of glaze on chicken once it is cooked.
SALAD:
1-2 heads Romaine or Red Leaf Lettuce
2 ripe but firm mangoes, chilled
2-3 ripe but firm avocados
This serves 4 large salads or 6 smaller sized ones.While chicken is grilling, wash lettuce and divide among serving plates. Slice avocados and mangoes and place them on top of the lettuce. When chicken is finished, let it sit for 5 minutes before slicing to preserve the juices. Then slice it up and divide among the salads. Drench it all in the Honey-Citrus Vinaigrette and pretend you're at a fancy restaurant.
