Directions:
Chicken: Mix all Mojo Marinade ingredients together and mix with the chicken in a bowl or plastic ziplock bag. Let chicken sit in marinade for 2-4 hours. You can either grill or bake the chicken. If you decide to bake, pre-heat your oven to 400 degrees F. Place the chicken on a well-oiled cookie sheet or baking pan and place in the oven. Turn the chicken after the first 6 minutes then bake for an additional 6 minutes. Pull chicken from the oven and let cool. Vinaigrette: In a blender, puree all vinaigrette ingredients except the oil on the lowest setting. Slowly drizzle in the oil until it is completely incorporated. Salt and pepper to taste. Dressing the plate: Combine greens, avocado and tomato in a salad bowl, mix well. Add just enough of the Mango Citrus Vinaigrette to coat the greens and then divide evenly between 4 plates. Place the chicken on the center of the green s and drizzle with a little of the Vinaigrette. Ingredients: 4 chicken breasts (skin on) 1 10-oz package of mix greens or spring mix. 1 medium avocado, peeled and sliced 2 large roma tomatoes (cut into wedges) Ingredients for Mango Citrus Vinaigrette: 1 orange (juice and zest) 2 Champagne® mangos, peeled and seeded ¼ cup red wine vinegar 1 tsp honey 1 tsp soy sauce ¼ tsp Dijon mustard ½ cup canola oil Salt and pepper to taste Ingredients for the Mojo Marinade: 6 garlic cloves (minced) 1 Jalapeno (seeded and minced) ½ tsp salt 2 tsp cumin seed (toasted) ¼ tsp cinnamon ½ cup olive oil ¼ cup orange juice ¼ cup lime juice 2 tsp red wine vinegar 2 tsp dry sherry
