Number Of Ingredients 19

Ingredients

For the chicken:
3 mangoes, peeled, pitted and chopped
1 1/4 cups loosely packed fresh cilantro, not chopped, stems and all
3 chipotle chile peppers in adobo sauce, plus 1 tablespoon sauce from the can
3 tablespoons rice vinegar (not seasoned)
4 cloves garlic
3 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
1 1/2 tablespoons canola oil, plus more for the grill
Kosher salt and freshly cracked pepper
12 pieces skin-on, bone-in mixed chicken thighs and drumsticks (about 5 pounds)
For the chimichurri:
1 1/2 cups fresh cilantro leaves
1/2 cup fresh flat-leaf parsley leaves
2 scallions, white parts only, roughly chopped
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 cup grapeseed oil
1 teaspoon agave syrup
1/4 cup fresh lime juice
Kosher salt and freshly cracked pepper

Steps:

Prepare the chicken: Put the mangoes, cilantro, chipotles, adobo sauce, vinegar, garlic, lemon juice, canola oil, 1 tablespoon salt and 1 teaspoon pepper in a food processor and puree until smooth. Adjust the seasoning to taste. Toss the chicken with half of the mango mixture in a resealable plastic bag and massage to coat the chicken with the sauce. Refrigerate at least 6 hours to marinate. Put the other half of the mango mixture in a small saucepan and simmer over low heat until thick, stirring often, about 15 minutes. Season with salt. Set some of the simmered mango sauce aside for serving and use the rest for basting. Preheat a grill to medium and brush with canola oil. Remove the chicken from the marinade, brushing off the excess marinade so it doesn't burn, and put on the grill. Grill the chicken, turning, until cooked through, about 30 minutes, basting with the simmered mango sauce during the last 5 minutes. Meanwhile, make the chimichurri: Combine the cilantro, parsley, scallions, garlic, grapeseed oil, agave, lime juice, and salt and pepper to taste in a food processor and pulse to roughly chop. Continue processing until the sauce is finely chopped but not smooth (it shouldn't be a puree). Set aside at least 15 minutes before serving. Transfer the chicken to a platter and serve with the chimichurri and the reserved mango sauce.

1 ½ teaspoons salt
½ teaspoon onion powder
¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
¼ teaspoon chipotle chile powder
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 pound chicken breast tenderloins or strips
1 medium tomato, chopped
1 small sweet onion, finely chopped
2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh cilantro
½ jalapeno chile pepper, seeded and minced
1 clove garlic, finely chopped
¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
¼ teaspoon sea salt
⅛ teaspoon chipotle chile powder
1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
1 sweet onion cut into 1/2-inch slices
1 red bell pepper, quartered
1 tablespoon olive oil
¼ teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon minced garlic
½ cup mayonnaise
2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
16 thick slices French bread
2 mangos - peeled, seeded, and sliced
8 slices Monterey Jack cheese

Steps:

For the marinade: Place 1/4 cup cilantro, 1 clove minced garlic, 1/4 jalapeno, lime zest, 1 1/2 teaspoons salt, onion powder, 1/4 teaspoon black pepper, 1/4 teaspoon chipotle chile powder, and 1 tablespoon olive oil in a small bowl and stir until well combined. Place the chicken breast tenderloins in a large resealable plastic bag. Pour the marinade into the bag with the chicken, seal, and shake the bag to coat. Refrigerate for 1 hour.
For the salsa: Combine the tomato, 1 small onion, 2 tablespoons cilantro, 1/2 jalapeno, 1 clove garlic, 1/4 teaspoon black pepper, sea salt, 1/8 teaspoon chipotle pepper, and 1 tablespoon lime juice in a bowl. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate.
To prepare the grilled vegetables, toss the onions and red peppers with 1 tablespoon olive oil, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 1 clove garlic in a bowl; set aside.
For the lime mayonnaise: Whisk together the mayonnaise and 2 tablespoons of lime juice; cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate.
Preheat an outdoor grill for medium-high heat.
Grill the marinated chicken on the prepared grill until no longer pink in the center and juices run clear, 8 to 10 minutes. Grill the red pepper and onions until tender and golden brown, 8 to 10 minutes. Remove the chicken and vegetables from the grill. Slice the grilled pepper into thin strips.
Spread each slice of bread with 1 1/2 teaspoons of prepared lime mayonnaise. Layer half of the pieces of bread with sliced mango, 1 tablespoon prepared salsa, grilled chicken tenderloins, grilled peppers, grilled onions, and a slice of Monterey Jack cheese. Top off the sandwiches with the remaining slices of bread. Return the sandwiches to the grill, turning when the bottom is golden brown
Return the sandwiches to the grill and grill them until the bread is toasted and the cheese melts, about 2 minutes per side.

Tips:

Use ripe mangoes. Ripe mangoes are sweeter and have a more intense flavor than unripe mangoes. If you don't have ripe mangoes, you can speed up the ripening process by placing them in a paper bag with an apple or banana.
Don't overcrowd the grill. When grilling the chicken, make sure to leave enough space between the pieces so that they can cook evenly. If you overcrowd the grill, the chicken will not cook properly.
Cook the chicken over medium heat. Medium heat will help to prevent the chicken from burning. If you cook the chicken over high heat, it will likely burn on the outside before it is cooked through.
Baste the chicken with the marinade. Basting the chicken with the marinade will help to keep it moist and flavorful. Baste the chicken every few minutes, especially if you are grilling it over high heat.
Let the chicken rest before slicing. Once the chicken is cooked, let it rest for a few minutes before slicing. This will help to keep the juices in the chicken and prevent it from drying out.
