One of the nice things about living in the Southwest, is with our mild winter temperatures, outdoor grilling is still an option. With this recipe, Curried Chicken with Mango Salad, if you don’t want to heat up your kitchen you can cook the chicken on the grill instead; grill on high heat, 6 to 8 minutes per side. Make it a meal: Serve with a fragrant brown basmati rice.
