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.

Makes 4 servings, 1 thigh & about 1/2 cup salad each

ACTIVE TIME: 30 minutes

TOTAL TIME: 45 minutes

EASE OF PREPARATION: Easy

1/2 cup low-fat plain yogurt
2 tablespoons mango chutney
2 teaspoons garam masala (see Note) or curry powder, mild or hot
4 bone-in chicken thighs (1 3/4-2 pounds), skin removed, trimmed of fat
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt, divided
1 mango, diced
1/4 cup finely diced red onion
2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh mint
2 tablespoons red-wine vinegar
2 teaspoons brown sugar

1. Position rack in upper third of oven; preheat broiler. Coat a broiler pan with cooking spray.
2. Whisk yogurt, chutney and garam masala (or curry powder) in a medium bowl. Add chicken; turn to coat. Remove the chicken from the sauce and transfer to the prepared broiler pan; sprinkle with 1/4 teaspoon salt.
3. Broil the chicken until the coating is charred in spots, 12 to 15 minutes. Turn the chicken over and continue cooking until it is slightly charred and cooked through, 12 to 15 minutes more.
4. Meanwhile, combine mango, onion, mint, vinegar, brown sugar and the remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt in a medium bowl. Serve the chicken with the mango salad.

The recipe calls for 2 tablespoons mango chutney. Is this something I make or is it sold in the Indian markets??? Could not find a recipe for it on the website. Thanks

Chutney is a sort of Indian relish that often combines sweet and sour ingredients. I buy it in the "ethnic" section of my grocery, but I also found recipes online by typing "mango chutney" into Google.

I believe that step four in the directions is the recipe for mango salsa.

This dish is quick and flavorful. I substituted mango chutney with peach preserve, and it worked well.

My husband and I really like this dish. It calls for mango CHUTNEY (not salsa which is tex-mex not indian) that is also sometimes labelled as "Major Grey Chutney".

Nice recipe. Good combination of flavors and aromas.

Excellent and easy! Works just as well with nonfat yogurt and in the broiler.

This recipe was excellent. I accidentally marinated the chicken for a couple of days and it was wonderful.
