Ingredients:

Serving

1 cup plus 2 tbsp vegetable oil
3/4 cup orange juice
1 tbsp (packed) grated orange peel
1 tbsp honey
1 tbsp soy sauce
2 tsp cumin seeds
6 large garlic cloves, minced
1 large serrano chili, stemmed, minced
1/2 tsp salt
3/4 cup olive oil
3 tbsp orange juice
3 tbsp fresh lime juice
6 skinless boneless chicken breast halves
2 large firm but ripe mangoes, peeled, pitted , cut into 1/2-inch pieces
2 large avocados, peeled, pitted , cut into 1/2-inch pieces
10 oz mixed baby lettuces

Add minced garlic, minced chili and salt to seeds; mash mixture with back of fork to form coarse paste. Heat olive oil in same skillet over medium-high heat until very hot, about 2 minutes. Pour hot olive oil over garlic mixture; stir to blend. Let stand 15 minutes. Whisk in orange juice and lime juice. Pour marinade into 13x9x2-inch glass baking dish and cool. Add chicken to marinade; turn to cnd cool. Add chicken to marinade; turn to coat. Cover chicken and refrigerate at least 1 hour and up to 3 hours.
Combine mangoes and avocados in medium bowl. Add 6 tablespoons dressing and toss to coat.
Prepare barbecue (medium-high heat). Remove chicken from marinade; discard marinade. Grill chicken until cooked through, about 5 minutes per side. Transfer chicken to work surface. Let stand 5 minutes. Cut each chicken piece crosswise into 1/3-inch-thick slices.
Place lettuces in large bowl. Toss with enough dressing to coat thoroughly. Season to taste with salt and pepper; mound lettuces on 6 plates. Arrange 1 sliced chicken piece atop lettuces on each plate. Spoon mangoes and avocados alongside chicken. Sprinkle salads with cashews. Serve, passing any remaining dressing separately.
