Yield Makes 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 18

1/4 cup soy sauce
1 tsp chili paste
4 scallions, chopped, green and white parts kept separate
1/4 cup red wine
3 cloves garlic, peeled and minced
1 tbsp minced ginger
1/4 tsp black pepper
4 boneless chicken breast halves (1 lb)
8 oz linguine
2 tbsp Dijon mustard
2 tbsp rice vinegar
1 tbsp sesame oil
3 tbsp canola oil
1 red bell pepper, cored, seeded and julienned
3 bunches watercress
2 mangoes, cubed
2 tsp fresh lime juice
Vegetable-oil cooking spray

Steps:

  • Preheat broiler. For marinade, combine soy sauce, chili paste, scallion whites, red wine, garlic, ginger, and black pepper in a bowl. Add chicken and let marinate. Cook pasta in salted boiling water until al dente; drain. For dressing, whisk together mustard, vinegar, sesame oil, and 2 tbsp canola oil. Toss pasta, red pepper, watercress and all but 2 tbsp scallion greens with dressing. In a blender, puree mangoes, lime juice, and remaining 1 tbsp canola oil. Coat broiler pan with cooking spray and add chicken in a single layer. Broil 6 to 7 minutes per side, until browned and cooked through. Cut breasts diagonally in half. On each plate, place 1/4 pasta and 2 pieces chicken. Drizzle with mango puree and garnish with remaining scallion greens.
