Chicken, Mango, And Rice Salad
- 1 1/2 cups rice, preferably short grain
- 1 1/3 pounds boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 4)
- 1/3 cup plus 1 tablespoon cooking oil
- 1 1/4 teaspoons salt
- 3/4 teaspoon fresh-ground black pepper
- 3/4 cup chopped red onion
- 1 mango, peeled and cut into 1/2-inch dice
- 1 avocado, peeled and cut into 1/2-inch dice
- 3 1/2 tablespoons lime juice (from about 2 limes)
- 3/4 cup chopped cilantro
- In a large pot of boiling, salted water, cook the rice until just done, 10 to 15 minutes. Drain. Rinse with cold water. Drain thoroughly.
- Coat the chicken with the 1 tablespoon oil. Season with 1/4 teaspoon each of the salt and pepper. Heat a grill pan over moderate heat. Cook the breasts until just done, 4 to 5 minutes per side. Alternatively, heat the tablespoon of oil in a large frying pan and season and cook the chicken as directed above. When the chicken is cool enough to handle, cut it into 1/2-inch dice.
- Toss the rice with the chicken, onion, mango, avocado, the 1/3 cup oil, the remaining 1 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper, the lime juice, and cilantro.
- Wine Recommendation: With its fruit, richness, and flavor, Australian semillon will match this dish blow for blow.
