Recipe: Curry-Lime Chicken Thighs with Tomato-Lima Bean Salsa (using Greek yogurt)

Main Dishes - Chicken, Poultry
CURRY-LIME CHICKEN THIGHS
WITH TOMATO-LIMA BEAN SALSA


FOR THE SALSA:
1 cup red cider vinegar
1 cup water
2 teaspoons pickling spices
3 teaspoons salt, divided use
1 tablespoon sugar
1/8 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
1/2 teaspoon celery seed
1 1/2 cup lima beans, cooked in water for 4 minutes, then drained and cooled
2 cups diced fresh tomatoes
1 small sweet onion, diced
1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
FOR THE CHICKEN:
1 1/2 to 2 pounds chicken thighs
1 cup plain Greek yogurt
1 teaspoon fresh ginger, diced
1 teaspoon curry powder
juice of 1 lime

TO MAKE THE SALSA:
In small saucepan, combine vinegar and water; add pickling spices, 2 teaspoons salt, sugar, red pepper flakes and celery seed. Bring to a boil, then lower heat and simmer for 5 minutes. Remove from heat and cool.

Place lima beans, tomatoes and onion in container. Using a fine mesh sieve, pour the warm vinegar mixture through it and into the vegetable mixture. Add cilantro. Cover and chill at least 1 hour and up to 2 days.

TO MARINATE THE CHICKEN:
Combine yogurt, ginger, curry powder and lime juice. Add chicken thighs and turn to coat with yogurt mixture. Allow to marinate in refrigerator 1 to 4 hours.

WHEN READY TO COOK:
Prepare grill or broiler.

Remove chicken from marinade, draining excess. Season thighs on both sides with remaining teaspoon salt. Place chicken on grill or under broiler to sear. Turn over once until well browned, cooking for a total of 6-8 minutes. Continue to cook chicken, turning to avoid burning. Grill or broil chicken until it reaches an internal temperature of 170 degrees F, about another 15 to 20 minutes.

TO SERVE:
Using a slotted spoon, place about 1/3 cup salsa on each plate and place a grilled thigh next to the salsa.
