Ingredients

½ cup honey

½ cup whole grain mustard

2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil

¼ cup fresh lemon juice (from 2 lemons)

¼ cup finely chopped fresh cilantro

1 clove garlic, grated

1 tablespoon yellow curry powder

1 teaspoon kosher salt

½ teaspoon freshly cracked black pepper

1 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes

2½ pounds boneless, skinless chicken thighs

6 Persian cucumbers, cut into 1½- inch pieces and smashed

2 peaches, pitted and thinly sliced

½ cup loosely packed fresh cilantro, chopped, plus more for garnish

½ cup loosely packed fresh mint leaves, roughly chopped, plus more for garnish

¼ cup lemon juice (from 2 lemons)

½ teaspoon kosher salt

Directions

marinate the chicken

Make 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.

grill the chicken

Preheat 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.

make the salad

Meanwhile, 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.

serve

Arrange the chicken on a large platter and top with the peach salad. Garnish with cilantro and mint and serve family-style.
