Introducing the Mango Basil Chicken Pasta

Hey there, foodies! Today, I’m excited to share a unique and flavorful dish that I recently whipped up in my kitchen. The combination of mango, basil, and chicken may sound unusual, but trust me, it’s a winning trio that will tantalize your taste buds. So, without further ado, let’s dive into the recipe for my Mango Basil Chicken Pasta.

Ingredients:

  • boneless, skinless chicken breast (200g)
  • mango (1, diced)
  • fresh basil leaves (20g)
  • pasta of your choice (150g)
  • olive oil (2 tbsp)
  • garlic cloves (2, minced)
  • salt (to taste)
  • black pepper (to taste)

Kitchen Tools:

  • chef’s knife
  • cutting board
  • large skillet
  • pot

Preparation:

Start by cooking the pasta according to the package instructions. While the pasta is cooking, heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add minced garlic and cook until fragrant.

Next, add diced chicken breast to the skillet and season with salt and black pepper. Cook until the chicken is no longer pink inside. Add diced mango and torn basil leaves to the skillet, stirring gently to combine all the flavors.

Once the pasta is cooked al dente, drain it and add it to the skillet with the chicken, mango, and basil. Toss everything together until well combined. Adjust seasoning with salt and black pepper if needed.

Serve the Mango Basil Chicken Pasta hot, garnished with additional torn basil leaves for a pop of freshness.

Tips:

For an extra burst of flavor, try adding a squeeze of fresh lemon juice over the finished dish before serving. The acidity will complement the sweetness of the mango and the earthiness of the basil beautifully.

This recipe yields approximately 2 servings.
