Steps for Preparation
- Prepare the grill. Using the spice mill or
mortar and pestle, crush the coriander, peppercorns, star anise
into a coarse powder. Season he chicken with the salt and then sprinkle
evenly with the ginger. Thoroughly coat the chicken with the ground
spice blend.
- Remove the peach pits by cutting the peach
into quarters around the pit, and then prying he flesh away from
the pit. Cut each quarter into short 1/4-inch thick slices.
- Grill the chicken for 3-4 minutes on each side
until nicely charred. Check each breast for doneness using the Cook'd
Right® Sensor.
- To check for doneness:
- Quickly insert dark sensor tip into center
of meat. Wait 5-10 seconds.
- Remove sensor tip and check color.
- Continue checking with the same sensor until
done.
- Discard sensor when finished.
- Chicken breast is done when tip of sensor
is fully orange.
- Cut each of the chicken breasts into 5 or 6
slices.
- In a small bowl, combine the vinegar, water,
sugar, oil, and soy. Stir until the sugar is completely dissolved.
In a large bowl, combine the bell pepper, peaches, cilantro, mint,
and scallion. Pour just enough soy dressing over the salad ingredients
to moisten. Toss gently to coat.
- Place a portion of the salad onto each plate
and arrange the sliced chicken breast alongside. Spook additional
dressing around the chicken before serving.
