Method
- Combine the chicken, lime juice, cilantro, garlic, sugar, soy sauce, pepper and mint in a plastic, re-sealable food storage bag and seal.
- Shake to combine, then transfer chicken to the refrigerator and allow to marinate for 24 hours.
- Remove the chicken from the refrigerator and discard marinade.
- Allow chicken to come to room temperature for 20 minutes.
- Preheat a grill to high.
- When the grill is hot, grill the chicken breasts, turning to mark on both sides, until an internal temperature of 165 degrees F, about 8 to 10 minutes, depending on your grill.
- Remove from the grill and allow to rest briefly before carving each portion into thin slices.
- When ready to serve, place 2 lettuce leaves on each of 4 plates, and fan the chicken slices on top of the lettuce leaves.
- Garnish each plate with 1 1/2 ounces of the mango, 1 1/2 ounces of the papaya, 1 1/2 ounces of the pineapple and 5 marcona almonds.
- Drizzle 2 tablespoons of the Lemon-Ginger Vinaigrette over each salad and serve immediately.
- Combine all ingredients in a nonreactive container with a tight fitting lid, cover, and shake to combine.
- Serve immediately or refrigerate for up to 2 days before serving.
