Instructions
- 1Make the chicken. In a large bowl, whisk together the honey, mustard, olive oil, lemon juice, cilantro, garlic, curry powder, salt, pepper, and red pepper until smooth. Reserve ¼ cup of marinade. Add the chicken to the bowl and turn to coat. Cover and let marinate refrigerated for at least 30 minutes.
- 2Preheat the grill on medium-low. Remove the chicken from the marinade, allowing any excess to drip off. Place the chicken on the grill and cook until the chicken begins to char, about 4 minutes per side. Brush the chicken with the marinade remaining in the bowl and continue cooking, turning occasionally, until the internal temperature of the chicken reaches 165°F on an instant-read thermometer, about 10 minutes more.
- 3Meanwhile, make the salad. In a medium bowl, toss the cucumbers, peaches, cilantro, and mint with the lemon juice, ¼ cup reserved honey mustard marinade, and salt. Let marinate at room temperature for about 10 minutes.
- 4Arrange the chicken on a large platter and top with the peach salad. Garnish with cilantro and mint and serve family-style.
