CHICKEN BREASTS WITH CORNMEAL-CORIANDER CRUST AND BLACK BEAN-MANGO SALSA
Cornmeal adds a nice crispness to the coating for the chicken. The salsa and the Three-Pepper Slaw with Chipotle Dressing make this a colorful entrée. For drinks, mix up some tequila-lime spritzers by combining a little tequila with fresh lime juice and sparkling water, or uncork a bottle of dry Gewürztraminer.click photo to enlarge
