Description

Brightly hued marinated chicken (thank you, turmeric) that is broiled and then topped with a sweet clementine salsa. Who says winter food has to be dull?

Ingredients

  • FOR THE SKEWERS:
  • 1-½ pound Boneless Chicken Thigh Or Breast Meat, Cut Into 1-inch Pieces
  • Salt And Pepper, to taste
  • ¼ cups Plus 2 Tablespoons Of Chopped Fresh Cilantro, Divided Use
  • ¼ cups Plain, Whole Milk Yogurt
  • 1 Tablespoon Grapeseed Or Other Neutral-tasting Oil
  • 2 cloves Garlic, Peeled And Chopped
  • 1 teaspoon Ground Coriander
  • 1 teaspoon Turmeric
  • FOR THE SALSA:
  • 8 whole Clementine Oranges, Supremed (or Peeled And Segmented)
  • ½ whole English Cucumber, Washed, Peel Left On, And Finely Chopped
  • 3 Tablespoons Sliced Green Onions, Divided Use
  • 1 whole Serrano Chili Pepper, Seeded And Chopped Finely
  • 1 pinch Salt To Taste
  • 1 Tablespoon Lemon Juice

Preparation

Place chicken in a bowl and season with salt and pepper. Set aside.

In the bowl of a small food processor puree 1/4 cup cilantro, yogurt, oil, garlic, coriander and turmeric. Pour this marinade over the chicken and toss to coat. Let the chicken marinate at room temperature for 20-30 minutes. If you choose to do this ahead of time, simply chill the marinating chicken in the refrigerator until ready to use. But make sure to let it stand at room temperature for 30 minutes before continuing.

Meanwhile, prepare the salsa by cutting the peel and white pith from the clementines. Discard the scraps. Cut between the membranes to remove the clementine segments. Chop the segments and place them into a bowl. Try not to get too much of the clementine juice in the bowl. (If this seems tedious to you, just peel the clementines like you normally would and chop up the segments.) Add chopped cucumber, 2 tablespoons of the scallions, and the chili pepper to the bowl. Mix well and season with a pinch of salt. Set aside.

Preheat oven broiler or BBQ grill. Thread chicken pieces onto skewers and transfer the skewers to a foil-lined baking sheet (if broiling). Broil (or grill) the skewers, turning once and watching closely to prevent burning. Chicken should be cooked in about 10 minutes total.

Transfer skewers to a serving platter and top with salsa. Garnish with the remaining cilantro and chopped scallions.

Notes:
1. This fed two adults and two children (who didn’t like the salsa). If you’re feeding four adults, you might want to double the salsa recipe.
2. Adapted from a recipe in Bon Appetit, Jan 2012.
