1/2 cup lemon juice
1 cup malt vinegar

1 cup water
2 cups sugar
2 cups yellow mustard
2 chickens, halved
Olive oil
2 tablespoons fresh thyme leaves, plus sprigs for garnish
4 pieces Cuban bread
Black beans and yellow rice, as accompaniment

Steps:

  • For the Sauce:
  • In a food processor, combine onion, red pepper, Scotch bonnets, papaya, and garlic and pulse to chop.
  • Transfer the finely chopped ingredients to a saucepan. Add lemon juice, malt vinegar, white wine, dry mustard, water, and sugar. Bring to a simmer over low heat. Cook slowly until the mixture is thickened, about 30 minutes. Remove from the heat and stir in the yellow mustard.
  • For the chicken:
  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.

  • Cuban Bread:
  • While the chicken is cooking, prepare the Cuban bread. Preheat a sandwich press or 2 cast iron skillets, 1 a little larger than the other. Slice the bread in 1/2 horizontally. Spread both cut sides with butter. Press the cut side together and place in the sandwich press. Close and toast until golden brown and the butter is melted. If using skillets, place the bread in the larger skillet. Top with the smaller, heated skillet and cook until both sides are golden brown and the butter is melted.
  • Preheat the broiler.
  • Brush the sauce on the chicken, coating well. Place in the broiler and broil until the sauce bubbles and starts to brown. Remove from the heat and serve with cuban bread, black beans, and yellow rice. Garnish with thyme sprigs.

Tips:

  • Choose ripe, flavorful fruit: The sweetness and creaminess of ripe papaya and avocado are essential for this salad. Look for papayas that are deep orange in color and slightly soft to the touch. Avocados should be dark green or black and yield to gentle pressure.
  • Use high-quality chicken: Grilled or roasted chicken breast is the best choice for this salad. Make sure the chicken is cooked through but still juicy. You can also use leftover chicken from a rotisserie chicken.
  • Don't overdress the salad: A light vinaigrette dressing is all you need to enhance the flavors of the fruit and chicken. Use a good quality olive oil and vinegar, and season to taste with salt and pepper.
  • Serve the salad immediately: This salad is best enjoyed fresh. The avocado will start to brown after a while, so it's best to serve it as soon as possible after it's made.

Conclusion:

This papaya avocado chicken salad is a delicious and refreshing dish that's perfect for a light lunch or dinner. It's also a great way to use up leftover chicken. The combination of sweet fruit, savory chicken, and tangy dressing is sure to please everyone at your table.
