Curried Chicken with Mango Salsa

(from EatingWell.com)

Serves 2

• 1/4 cup low-fat plain yogurt
• 1 tablespoon mango chutney
• 1 teaspoon garam masala or curry powder, mild or hot
• 2 bone-in chicken thighs (approx 2 pounds), skin removed, trimmed of fat
• Cooking salt
  
• 1/2 mango, diced
• 1/8 cup finely diced red onion
• 1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh mint
• 1 tablespoon red-wine vinegar
• 1 teaspoon light brown sugar

1. Position rack in upper third of oven; preheat broiler. Coat a broiler pan with cooking spray.
2. Whisk yogurt, chutney and garam masala (or curry powder) in a medium bowl. Add chicken; turn to coat. Remove the chicken from the sauce and transfer to the prepared broiler pan; sprinkle with a pinch of salt.
3. Broil the chicken until the coating is charred in spots, 12 to 15 minutes. Turn the chicken over and continue cooking until it is slightly charred and cooked through, 12 to 15 minutes more.
4. Meanwhile, combine mango, onion, mint, vinegar, brown sugar and a pinch of salt in a medium bowl. Serve the chicken with the mango salad.
