Salsa
- 1 cup finely chopped mango
- 2 to 3 tablespoons chopped fresh mint leaves
- 1 teaspoon grated fresh ginger
- 2 tablespoons finely chopped red onion
- 1/2 teaspoon lemon zest
- 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon canola oil
Directions
- Combine 1 tablespoon canola oil, curry powder, sugar, pepper and salt. Brush over chicken and let marinate for 15 minutes.
- Meanwhile, stir together salsa ingredients in a small bowl.
- Coat a grill pan with canola oil cooking spray and place over medium-high heat until hot. Add chicken, discarding any marinade. Cook chicken 4 minutes on each side or until no longer pink inside and juices run clear. Transfer to a serving platter. Squeeze lemon juice over chicken; serve with salsa.
Notes:
This dish offers a medley for flavours. Using salsa in place of more salt lowers the sodium content and boosts taste!
