Ginger Chicken Peach Salad Food

GINGER CHICKEN SALAD SUPREME

Steps:

• Combine chicken, grapes, celery, pecans, and parsley in a bowl. Whisk mayonnaise, sour cream, ginger, and white pepper together in a separate bowl; gently stir into chicken mixture. Cover bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate until chilled, 1 to 2 hours.

PEACH CHICKEN SALAD

Steps:

• In a large bowl, combine the peaches, chicken, cucumber and onion; set aside. In a blender, combine the vinegar, lemon juice, sugar, mint, salt and pepper; cover and process until smooth. Drizzle over chicken mixture; toss to coat. Cover and refrigerate until chilled. Use a slotted spoon to serve on lettuce-lined plates.

GINGER CHICKEN WITH CONFETTI PEACH SALSA

Steps:

• *To brine your chicken breasts, simply fill a large bowl with 1 quart of warm water and 1/4 cup kosher salt. Stir to combine until most of the salt is absorbed. Add the chicken breasts and let them sit in the mixture to brine for 15 minutes. Or you can also also cover the bowl and refrigerate for up to 6 hours. Remove the chicken breasts from the brine, rinse them with cold water, then pat them dry with some paper towels. (Again, though, if your chicken breasts are sold pre-brined in a sodium solution, skip this step.)
• Preheat oven to 450°F.
• Place the chicken breasts in a single layer in a large baking dish. Brush on both sides (turning once) evenly with the melted butter or olive oil.
• In a separate small bowl, whisk the ginger, salt, pepper, garlic powder and paprika until combined. Then sprinkle the mixture evenly over the chicken on both sides.
• Bake for 15-18** minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and no longer pink. If you use a cooking thermometer to measure the temperature thickest part of the breast, it should be between 160-170°F. (The FDA recommends 165°F.)
• While the chicken cooks, prepare your peach salsa (see below).
• Once the chicken is cooked, remove the pan from the oven and loosely cover the pan with aluminum foil. Let the chicken rest for at least 5-10 minutes. Then serve immediately, topped with the peach salsa. (Or, refrigerate in a sealed container for up to 3 days, or freeze for up to 3 months.)
• Stir all ingredients together in a small bowl until combined. Taste and season with extra ginger and salt if needed. Serve immediately.

ROASTED CHICKEN THIGHS WITH PEACHES, BASIL AND GINGER

Steps:

• Heat oven to 400 degrees. Halve peaches, remove pits and slice fruit 1/2 inch thick.
• In a 9-by-13-inch pan, toss all ingredients except 1 tablespoon basil. Roast until meat is cooked through and peaches are softened, about 20 minutes. Garnish with remaining basil. Sauce will be thin, so serve with crusty bread for sopping or over rice.

PEACH GINGER & TEA GLAZED CHICKEN

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350.
• Combine preserves, ginger, garlic, soy sauce and tea leaves in food processor and pulse til chunky-smooth. Add red pepper flakes.
• Heat oil in large oven-safe skillet over medium high heat. Sprinkle chicken with salt and pepper; add to pan and brown well, 6 to 8 minute Pour glaze over chicken.
• Transfer to oven and bake about 40 min, basting occasionally with sauce, until chicken is cooked through and glaze has thickened. Remove pan from oven and sprinkle with green onions.

GRILLED PEACH, CHICKEN & FETA SALAD

Steps:

• Heat a griddle pan. Toss the chicken in ½ tbsp of the oil, and season. Cook for 3-4 mins on each side or until cooked through. Pop on a plate to rest.
• Next toss the peach slices in ½ tbsp oil and some ground black pepper. Grill on their cut sides for 1-2 mins each side.
• Mix the remaining olive oil, vinegar, honey and chilli. Toss with the salad leaves. Arrange the chicken and nectarine slices on top and scatter with the feta. Drizzle with the resting juices from the chicken and eat straight away.

GINGERY GRILLED CHICKEN THIGHS WITH CHARRED PEACHES

Steps:

• Marinate the chicken: In a small bowl, mix together balsamic vinegar, grated ginger and a pinch of salt.
• Season chicken all over with salt, and put it in a larger bowl or resealable bag. Add 2 tablespoons of the balsamic mixture. (Give it a stir before measuring in case any of the ginger has fallen to the bottom. Save remaining balsamic for serving.) Add the thyme, garlic, soy sauce, and 1 teaspoon lime juice. Cover bowl or close bag, and let chicken marinate in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours and up to overnight.
• Light the grill or heat the broiler, arranging the rack about 4 inches from the heat source.
• Prepare the peaches: In a bowl, combine butter, thyme and honey. Brush peaches lightly with butter mixture and place in a grilling basket, if you have one, or directly on the grill. Grill over direct heat until just charred, 2 to 4 minutes per side. You'll know they are done when the skin curls back and the flesh starts to melt. Transfer to a serving platter or plates, and, if you like, drizzle with a little more of the butter mixture and sprinkle with flaky sea salt.
• If there's room on the grill, cook the chicken at the same time (or wait until peaches are done). Brush off any clinging pieces of marinade from chicken, pat it dry, and coat lightly with oil. Grill or broil until charred and browned, 4 to 6 minutes per side.
• Transfer chicken to a platter or serving plates, along with the peaches. Serve with dollops of yogurt on the side if you like, and a drizzle with some of the remaining gingery balsamic and a little more olive oil. Scatter with scallions and basil, if using, for garnish.
