Best Grilled Plums With Cookies And Ice Cream Recipes

GRILLED SPICED CHICKEN AND PLUMS

Steps:

• Preheat a grill to medium. Season the chicken with 1 teaspoon allspice, 1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon cayenne, and salt and black pepper to taste; transfer to a large bowl and toss with 1 garlic clove, 2 tablespoons olive oil and half of the lemon juice. Toss the plums with 1 teaspoon olive oil, the remaining 1/4 teaspoon allspice and a pinch each of cayenne and salt in another large bowl.
• Grill the chicken, turning occasionally, until marked, 10 minutes. Cover and continue grilling until cooked through, 15 to 20 minutes. (Move the chicken to a cooler part of the grill if it's getting too dark.) Grill the plums, flipping, until slightly softened, 5 minutes. Transfer the chicken and plums to a platter; brush the chicken with the honey.
• Meanwhile, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the broccoli and cook until crisp-tender, about 3 minutes. Drain and rinse under cold water; pat dry and transfer to a medium bowl. Add the remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil and the almonds; season with salt and black pepper and toss to coat.
• Whisk the yogurt with the remaining grated garlic and lemon juice in a small bowl; season with salt. Serve the chicken with the plums and broccoli; spoon the yogurt sauce over the broccoli.
