Yield Makes 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

1/4 cup soy sauce
1 tbsp cornstarch
1 tbsp sesame oil
2 tbsp fresh lemon juice
1 tbsp grated ginger
4 boneless chicken breasts (1 lb), cut into 1D2-inch strips
2 mangoes, diced
2 scallions, chopped
1 serrano pepper, minced
1 cup chopped cilantro
3 tbsp fresh lime juice
1/4 tsp salt
5 tsp olive oil
6 cups watercress leaves

Steps:

  • For the marinade, combine soy sauce and cornstarch in a medium-size bowl. Stir until cornstarch is dissolved, then stir in sesame oil, 1 tbsp lemon juice, and ginger. Toss with chicken and let marinate 20 to 30 minutes. For the salsa, combine mangoes, scallions, serrano pepper, cilantro, lime juice, and salt. Let sit 20 to 30 minutes. For the salad, whisk together remaining 1 tbsp lemon juice, olive oil, and salt and pepper to taste, then toss dressing with watercress. To cook chicken, coat a large skillet with cooking spray and set over medium-high heat. Add chicken in a single layer and cook 3 to 4 minutes on each side until browned and cooked through. To assemble the plates, place 1/4 watercress salad on each plate, then mound 1/4 salsa in the center and arrange chicken strips on top.

This salad is a bit too spicy for my taste. Next time I'll use less chile pepper in the salsa.

I'm not a big fan of cilantro, so I left it out of the salsa. It was still very good.

I'm not a fan of mango, so I substituted pineapple in the salsa. It was still delicious.
