Time 35m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

Ingredients

8 skin-on, bone-in chicken thighs (about 2 1/2 pounds)
1 teaspoon grated peeled fresh ginger
2 tablespoons fish sauce
1 tablespoon packed light brown sugar
2 teaspoons finely grated lime zest, plus 1 tablespoon lime juice
1 1/2 teaspoons chili-garlic sauce
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
4 firm nectarines (about 1 1/2 pounds), thinly sliced
1/2 cup torn fresh mint
1/4 cup salted roasted peanuts, chopped

Steps:

Preheat a grill to medium high and prepare for indirect grilling: On a charcoal grill, bank the coals to one side. On a gas grill, turn off half the burners. Toss the chicken with the ginger, 1 tablespoon fish sauce and 1 teaspoon each brown sugar, lime zest, lime juice and chili-garlic sauce. Season with salt and pepper. Place the chicken skin-side up on the cooler side of the grill; cover and cook until a thermometer inserted into the thickest part registers 165 degrees F, about 20 minutes. Move to direct heat and cook, uncovered, flipping occasionally, until the skin is charred and crisp, about 5 more minutes.
Meanwhile, make the dressing: Whisk 2 tablespoons water and the remaining 1 tablespoon fish sauce, 2 teaspoons brown sugar, 1 teaspoon lime zest, 2 teaspoons lime juice and 1/2 teaspoon chili-garlic sauce in a large bowl. Whisk in the vegetable oil.
Add the nectarines, mint, peanuts and 1/4 teaspoon salt to the bowl with the dressing; toss. Divide the chicken and nectarine salad among plates.

WEIGHT WATCHERS GRILLED GINGER LIME CHICKEN

Weight Watchers Grilled Ginger Lime Chicken image

Found this on line and it's simple, yummy and only 4 smart points. It calls for boneless, skinless chicken thighs, but I used breasts as that's what I have. It uses a ginger lime marinade and then grilled until done. Watch the grilling though as the honey in the marinade tends to make the chicken burn if you don't watch it closely

GINGER-LIME CHICKEN

Ginger-Lime Chicken image

Though this may look like regular old chicken, don't be fooled: It's buzzing with the bright flavors of ginger and lime. Mayonnaise is the secret ingredient in this recipe, which is a trick J. Kenji López-Alt has written about. When slathered on boneless chicken and cooked, the beloved condiment carries flavor, sticks to the meat well, encourages browning and prevents the pieces of lime zest and ginger - or whatever seasonings you choose - from burning. Try this technique first with ginger and lime zest, then experiment with grated garlic, jalapeño, lemon, Parmesan and whatever else you can imagine. Serve with a pile of white rice and a fresh green salad topped with thinly sliced avocado.

Time 15m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 5

Ingredients

1 1/2 to 2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken thighs or breasts
Kosher salt and black pepper
1/3 cup mayonnaise
1 tablespoon lime zest (from about 2 limes), plus lime wedges, for serving
1 tablespoon finely grated fresh ginger (from a 3-inch piece of peeled ginger)

Steps:

Pat the chicken dry and season all over with 1 1/2 teaspoons salt. In a medium bowl, stir together the mayonnaise, lime zest and ginger; season with salt and pepper. Add the chicken to the mayonnaise mixture and stir to coat. (The chicken can sit in the marinade for up to 8 hours in the fridge. Let come to room temperature before cooking.)
To grill: Heat a grill to medium-high. Grill the chicken over direct heat until cooked through and juices run clear, about 5 minutes per side for thighs and about 4 minutes per side for breasts, turning as necessary to avoid burning.
To cook in a skillet: Heat a large skillet over medium-high. Cook the chicken until juices run clear, about 5 minutes per side for thighs and about 4 minutes per side for breasts.
Serve chicken with lime wedges, for squeezing on top.
