Ingredients:

Serving

1 small onion, chopped
3 garlic cloves, chopped
a 1-inch piece fresh gingerroot, peeled and chopped
2 tbsp fresh lemon juice
1 tbsp water
1/2 cup plain yogurt
2 tsp ground coriander
1 tsp ground cumin
1 tsp salt
1/2 tsp ground turmeric
1/4 tsp cayenne
1/8 tsp each ground mace
3 whole boneless skinless chicken breasts (about 2 1/4 lb), halved
1 1/2 tbsp white-wine vinegar
1/3 cup olive oil
10 cups packed mesclun (mixed baby greens , about 1/2 lb)

Directions:

Make marinade: In a blender or small food processor grind onion with garlic, gingerroot, lemon juice, and water to form a paste. In a bowl stir together onion paste and remaining marinade ingredients.
With a sharp paring knife make three 1/2-inch-deep diagonal cuts in each chicken breast half, being careful not to cut all the way through. Rub chicken with marinade, rubbing it into cuts. In a large resealable plastic bag marinate chicken, chilled, overnight.
Prepare grill.
Grill chicken on an oiled rack 5 to 6 inches over glowing coals until cooked through, about 7 minutes on each side, and transfer to a platter. Let chicken stand while preparing salad.
In a large bowl whisk together vinegar and salt and pepper to taste and add oil in a stream, whisking until emulsified. Add mesclun and toss lightly.
Slice chicken 1/4 inch thick and serve over salad.
