Seared chicken and asparagus with mango salsa, the perfact main course for a wedding

Provided by Merrilees Parker

Categories     Main course

Time 2h45m

Number Of Ingredients 11

4 medium, firm but ripe mangoes
juices of 2 limes , zest of 1
2 small red onions , finely chopped
4 red chillies , seeded and finely chopped
40g combined weight fresh flatleaf parsley and coriander, chopped
250ml extra-virgin olive oil
1 tsp caster sugar , optional
60 asparagus spears
125ml olive oil
5 tbsp light olive oil
20 skinless, boneless chicken breasts , about 140g/5oz each (preferably freerange)

Steps:

  • The day before: make the mango salsa, peel the mangoes and cut the flesh into tiny dice. Put into a bowl with the lime juice and zest, the red onions, chillies, parsley, coriander and olive oil. Taste, and mix in a teaspoon of sugar if you feel it needs it. Put in the fridge.
  • Preheat the oven to 200C/gas 6/fan 180C. Put 2 baking trays in the oven to preheat. Hold each asparagus tip about a third of the way down from the tip between your thumb and forefinger, and your other hand at the bottom. Start to bend it gently and it will snap just above the tough bit which you can throw away. Now toss the asparagus in the olive oil and season well with salt and pepper.
  • Put in a single layer on the pre-heated baking trays and roast for 12-14 minutes, giving them a good shake halfway through. When they are cooked, remove from the baking trays to cool or else they will keep cooking. Keep the oven on.
  • For the chicken, heat a griddle pan over a high heat till hot. Brush the chicken with olive oil and generously season with salt and pepper. Cook the chicken breasts, 4 at a time in the pan (depending how many will fit) for 2-3 minutes each side - they should be well marked with the griddle lines. Remove from the griddle and lay in a single layer on foil lined baking sheets. Roast for 12-15 minutes until cooked. Take out of the oven, cool, then cover and put in the fridge.
  • On the day: take the mango salsa from the fridge and leave at room temperature to allow the flavours to combine.
  • When you are ready to serve, arrange on two platters, allowing three spears of asparagus topped with a chicken breast per person. Spoon over the mango salsa, reserving some to put in bowls on the side, and drizzle over any oil from the salsa.

PAN-SEARED ASPARAGUS WITH CRISPY GARLIC



Pan-Seared Asparagus With Crispy Garlic image

Before asparagus got moved to its own botanical family, Asparagaceae, in the early 2000s, it was part of the lily family along with onions, chives, shallots and garlic. It makes sense then, that asparagus and garlic make such a good duo. When cooked with care, both can be mild and sweet (or pungent and bitter when cooked carelessly). To highlight the best of both ingredients, gently fry garlic into chips for a crispy topping, then use the lightly infused oil to sauté the asparagus. Both thin and chubby spears work, as would nearly any other vegetable you like with garlic: broccoli, kale, snap peas, fennel and more.

Categories     vegetables, side dish

Time 10m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 4

4 garlic cloves, thinly sliced
3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
Kosher salt and black pepper
1 bunch asparagus (about 1 pound), ends snapped or trimmed

Steps:

  • Place a paper towel-lined plate next to the stove. In a medium or large skillet, combine the garlic and olive oil over medium-low heat. Cook, shaking the skillet often, until the garlic is very light golden, 3 to 5 minutes. Remove the skillet from the heat, tilt it, then use a slotted spoon to transfer the garlic to the towel-lined plate, leaving the remaining oil in the skillet. Season the crispy garlic with salt.
  • Return the skillet to medium-high heat. Add the asparagus, season with salt and pepper, and cook, shaking often, until bright green, crisp-tender and browned in spots, 4 to 5 minutes. Slide onto a platter, including any oil in the skillet. Top with the garlic chips and season again with salt and pepper.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality chicken: Opt for free-range or organic chicken breasts or thighs for the best flavor and texture.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan: When searing the chicken, make sure to give each piece plenty of space in the pan to ensure even cooking.
  • Use a well-seasoned cast iron skillet: A well-seasoned cast iron skillet will help you achieve a beautiful sear on the chicken and prevent it from sticking.
  • Cook the chicken over medium-high heat: This will help to create a nice crust on the outside of the chicken while keeping the inside juicy and tender.
  • Don't overcook the chicken: Overcooked chicken will be dry and tough. Cook it just until it reaches an internal temperature of 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Make the mango salsa ahead of time: The mango salsa can be made several hours or even a day ahead of time, allowing the flavors to meld together.
  • Serve the chicken and asparagus with the mango salsa: The mango salsa adds a bright and refreshing flavor to the chicken and asparagus.
