It's Labor Day! For me, this sparks a new energy as we anticipate the return to sub-100 degree temperatures here in Arizona. Still... it's hot on Labor Day - 7pm now and 102 degrees. So today I was again on the lookout for a refreshing, cool, not-boring meal for that meal we typically eat during the hottest part of the day. I turned to the Cook's Illustrated "30 Minute Meals" and settled on this one. JACKPOT! Spicy enough (with an admittedly slightly heavy hand on the Asian chili garlic sauce) to excite the palate, but balanced by the cooling elements of the cilantro, mango and slaw. The crunch from the cabbage and cashews contrasted well with the scrumptious soft, moist poached chicken... this was absolutely delicious and is a keeper!
