Ingredients

4 medium chicken breasts (boneless, skinless chicken breasts, about 2 pounds total)
Juice from 4 limes
⅛ cup olive oil (plus extra)
½ cup chopped cilantro (leaves and stems)
2 teaspoons cumin
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon pepper
4 cups packed baby spinach leaves
1 jar Mango Habanero Salsa

Steps:

Place all ingredients, except spinach and salsa, in a large ziplock or bowl. Shake or stir to evenly coat. Cover and store in fridge at least 30 minutes (or up to 4 hours) to marinate.
Preheat grill or griddle skillet to medium heat and lightly grease. Remove chicken and discard marinade. Cook chicken 6-8 minutes, or until charred marks appear on one side. Rotate and cook another 6-8 minutes more, or until chicken is cooked through and reaches an internal temperature of 165 F. Remove from pan.
Place spinach in pan and cook until wilted, 3-4 minutes. Served cooked chicken over spinach and top with desired amount of salsa. Garnish with additional lime juice or cilantro leaves if desired.

GRILLED CHICKEN WITH MANGO HABANERO GLAZE

Grilled Chicken With Mango Habanero Glaze image

This recipe was created for the Ready Set Cook #8 contest. It's best to make this delicious sweet and spicy glaze ahead of time, and keep it refrigerated until needed. It will make about 1/2 cup. Because it's very hot and spicy, it doesn't take much to glaze the chicken breast. If you have some left over, it can be used like pepper jelly for other uses too. (I doubled the glaze recipe to keep on hand in the fridge.) Habaneros are delicious but extremely spicy. If you want to tone down the heat, use less habanero, or use a milder pepper. Also, use extreme care when mincing the habanero. I use a paper towel wrapped around my fingers, to prevent my fingers from coming in contact with it. If you get it on your fingers, and touch your eye - YOWSA!

Ingredients

1/2 cup sugar
1/2 mango, ripe, chopped
1/2 teaspoon ginger (grated fresh or ground)
1/2 habanero pepper, minced finely
1 teaspoon cider vinegar
2 teaspoons dark rum (like Meyers)
1/4-1/2 orange (used to provide 1 tbsp freshly squeezed juice)
4 boneless skinless chicken breast halves
salt
chopped cilantro (to garnish)

Steps:

Add the first five ingredients (sugar through cider vinegar) in a medium saucepan. Heat over medium and stir frequently, mashing the mango, until the ingredients are incorporated and begin to boil. Lower the heat to simmer, and let cook slowly for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally. Squeeze 1 tbsp juice from the orange and add with the rum to the sugar/mango mixture. Stir and simmer gently for 2 - 3 more minutes. Set aside and cool. Refrigerate until ready to use.
Salt chicken to taste. Grill chicken until nearly finished. Baste chicken with glaze and grill a few more minutes on each side, basting lightly with glaze with each turn until the chicken is done.
Garnish with chopped cilantro and serve. Reserve and refrigerate extra glaze for future use.
