GRILLED CHICKEN w/ PLUM CHUTNEY

This chutney is really good.  I mean REALLY good.  Make it in the summer when plums are in season.  It brings grilled chicken to a whole new level.  You could also put it on pork chops, pork tenderloin, or eat it with a spoon right out of the pan.  Recipe courtesy of Everyday Food Magazine.


4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts halves (or chicken thighs)
coarse salt and ground pepper
1 tablespoon olive oil
1/2 medium red onion, chopped
1/2 jalapeno chile (ribs and seeds removed for less heat, if desired), chopped
4 red plums (about 1 pound), halved, pitted, and cut into 1/2-inch pieces
1/3 cup packed light brown sugar
2 tablespoons cider vinegar
3/4 teaspoon curry powder
1/4 teaspoon ground ginger

Pound chicken to an even thickness.  Season with salt and pepper.  Grill until done and transfer to a plate.

Meanwhile, to make chutney:  To a skillet, add 1 tablespoon olive oil, onion and jalapeno; cook until softened, about 3 minutes.  Increase heat to medium-high; add plums, sugar, vinegar, curry powder, ginger and 1/4 cup water.  Bring to a boil; reduce to a simmer and cook until plums are softened and liquid is slightly syrupy, about 8 minutes.  Serve chicken with chutney spooned on top.  YIELD:  4 servings
