GRILLED CHICKEN HOAGIES WITH MANGO CHUTNEY AND MELTED BRIE SERVED WITH TOMATO CUCUMBER SALAD



Grilled Chicken Hoagies with Mango Chutney and Melted Brie Served with Tomato Cucumber Salad image

Categories     Bread     Salad     Chicken     Tomato     Side     Marinate     Brie     Mango     Cucumber

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

5 tablespoons EVOO (extra-virgin olive oil), plus some for drizzling
1 teaspoon dried thyme, 1/3 palmful
2 garlic cloves, finely chopped
Salt and black pepper
8 chicken breast cutlets
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard (eyeball it)
2 tablespoons white wine vinegar (eyeball it)
1 shallot, finely chopped
1 pint grape tomatoes, halved
1 English or European seedless cucumber, cut in half lengthwise, then thinly sliced into half moons
4 hoagie rolls (sub rolls)
3/4 cup store-bought mango chutney
8 ounces Brie cheese, cut into thin slices
1 bunch watercress, trimmed and coarsely chopped

Steps:

  • Heat a grill pan or outdoor grill to high heat.
  • In a shallow dish, mix together 2 tablespoons of the EVOO, the thyme, garlic, salt, and pepper. Add the chicken cutlets and coat thoroughly. Let the chicken marinate while you get the salad together and grill up the bread.
  • In a mixing bowl, combine the mustard, white wine vinegar, shallots, and a little salt and pepper. In a slow, steady stream, whisk in the remaining 3 tablespoons of EVOO. Add the grape tomatoes; with a fork smash some of the tomatoes against the side of the bowl so that their juices become part of the dressing. Add the sliced cucumbers and toss them to combine.
  • Cut the hoagie rolls in half lengthwise like a book, without separating the two halves all the way. Drizzle the inside of the rolls with some EVOO, hinge the rolls open, and lay them down on the grill with the inside flat against the grill. Once they are well marked, 1 to 2 minutes, flip them over and grill the outside a little bit. Remove the rolls from the grill and reserve.
  • Grill the cutlets for 3 to 4 minutes on one side. Flip the cutlets and top each with some of the mango chutney, spreading it out a bit, and 2 slices of Brie. Tent the chicken with a piece of foil and continue to grill it for 3 to 4 minutes to melt the cheese. Remove the cutlets from the grill, cut each in half, and distribute the chicken among the grilled rolls, wedging it into the bread. Top the chicken with some of the chopped watercress and squeeze the hoagies shut. Serve the sandwiches alongside the tomato cucumber salad.

GRILLED PORK TENDERLOIN WITH SPICY CUCUMBER, APPLE AND MANGO SALAD



Grilled Pork Tenderloin with Spicy Cucumber, Apple and Mango Salad image

This recipe actually started off very different for me because I initially wanted to make my version of a Thai green papaya salad. I had the hardest time finding green papaya while I was visiting my in-laws, so I used what I found in the store: crunchy green apples, sweet tangy mango and cooling cucumber. Luckily, this quickly turned into one of my new favorite salads. It goes great with grilled pork, chicken, shrimp and fish.

Provided by Megan Mitchell

Categories     main-dish

Time 25m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 16

One 1 1/2-pound pork tenderloin
Grapeseed oil, for greasing
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 English cucumber, cut into 3-inch-long matchsticks
1 green apple, cored and cut into 1/4-inch-thick half-moons
1 mango, pitted and cut into 1/4-inch-thick half-moons
1/2 cup loosely packed mint leaves, torn, plus whole leaves for garnish
1 small lime, zested and juiced
1 medium jalapeno, finely minced
1 clove garlic, minced or grated
1 tablespoon light brown sugar
1 tablespoon fish sauce
1 tablespoon tamari
2 teaspoons rice wine vinegar
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 cup lightly salted, dry roasted peanuts, roughly chopped

Steps:

  • For the pork: Preheat the grill to medium-high, about 375 degrees F, or preheat a large grill pan over medium-high heat. Clean and oil the grill grates or grill pan.
  • Lightly oil the tenderloin and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Grill, covered, until you get nice grill marks and a thermometer inserted into the thickest part registers 145 degrees F, flipping once, 14 to 16 minutes. Remove to a cutting board and let rest for 5 minutes. Slice into 1/2-inch thick pieces and transfer to a large plate or platter.
  • While the pork grills, make the salad: Combine the cucumber with the apple, mango and mint in a large bowl. Combine the lime zest with the juice, jalapeno, garlic, brown sugar, fish sauce, tamari, vinegar and salt in a small bowl. Whisk together then pour over the salad (see Cook's Note). Add some of the peanuts, saving the rest for garnish.
  • Top the pork with the salad, mounding it high in the middle of the platter. Sprinkle with the reserved peanuts and a few mint leaves.

ENSALADA DE MANGO, JICAMA Y PEPINO (MANGO-JICAMA AND CUCUMBER SALAD)



Ensalada de Mango, Jicama y Pepino (Mango-Jicama and Cucumber Salad) image

Provided by Food Network

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 6

2 medium (about 1 1/2 pounds) mangoes, peeled, flesh cut from the pit and sliced into 1/2-inch "fingers" or wedges (see technique below)
1 medium (about 1 pound) jicama, peeled and cut into long 1/2-inch-wide "fingers" or wedges
1 long seedless "English" cucumber (or 2 regular cucumbers), cut into long 1/2-inch-wide "fingers" or wedges
1 teaspoon pure ground chile (buy pure guajillo or ancho chile in a Mexican grocery, make it yourself, or substitute a little cayenne)
Salt
2 limes, each cut into 6 wedges

Steps:

  • Cutting the mangoes: Peel the mangoes, then cut the flesh from the pits: A mango pit (to which the flesh clings tightly) is flattish and oval, more-or-less a smaller version of the mango's overall shape. To cut the flesh off the pit, stand a mango on one end and slice the flesh from one side of the pit. Turn the mango around and slice the flesh off the other side. You'll be able to get a couple thin slices of flesh off the pit on each end. Cut the large pieces into long 1/2-inch-wide "fingers."
  • Salad: In pointed Sno-Cone cups (you'll need a snow-cone holder or a glass to support each cup) or in paper cups or glasses, combine a portion of mango, jicama and cucumber "fingers" or wedges (they will be standing in the cups). Mix the chile and 1/2 teaspoon salt; sprinkle over the "salads." Serve with lime wedges for each guest to squeeze over the pieces as they eat them.
  • Variation: Cut the mango, jicama and cucumber into cubes instead of "fingers," and mix together in a large bowl. Juice the limes (rather than cutting them into wedges) and drizzle over the mixture. Sprinkle with the salt and chile, and serve on a buffet or pass this at the table.
