Grenouille Confit
The Gastronomic Adventures of a Duck and a Frog in Paris

Paris is a city full of great restaurants modestly tucked behind unassuming facades on otherwise unnotable streets. This is a city that rewards gastronomic exploration. An epicurean explorer at heart, this is a place where I share my discoveries with you, as well as, some tips and advice on navigating the waters. Whether you are a visitor looking to avoid the ubiquitous traps of over-priced mediocrity or you are resident looking to (re-) discover the gastromic wealth of this city, I want you to eat well in the city that I love.

Chez Nous: Mango-Lime Chutney Chicken

Labels:

Mango-Lime Chutney Chicken

It was such a beautiful day today in Paris. With the sun shining and the temperature mild, I got to thinking of summer meals al fresco.

This is a decidedly summer dish. But if you need a little sunshine in your life, why not start now.

Chicken Marinade

3 cloves of garlic minced
Juice of one lime
2 tblspns olive oil
1 cup of dry white wine
salt and pepper to taste

Combine all the ingredients for the marinade.

Beat chicken breasts until they are ¼ inch think.

Pierce breast with fork.Cover breasts with marinade and refrigerate for at least one hour.


Mango -Lime Chutney

1 can mangoesdiced
½ cucumber peeled/seeded diced
½ large white onion diced
1 pimento pepper seeded/diced
½ tblspoon fresh mint chopped finely
Juice from ½ lime

Combine ingredients and refrigerate.

To cook the chicken, heat a pan with olive oil on med-high heat. Cook breasts approximately 5 minutes each side. Plate and top with cold chutney.


This is meal for those who need refreshment in the dead heat of summer or for those who need some hope when winter just won't seem to end.

NB: The picture is just of the chutney. We were too hungry and the chicken was too good :p
