Today’s Delight: Tangy Mango Chicken

Hey there, foodies! Today, I am excited to share with you a unique and flavorful recipe that I created on a hot summer day when all I was craving was something fresh and tangy. This tangy mango chicken dish is perfect for a light lunch or dinner, combining the sweetness of ripe mangoes with the savory taste of succulent chicken. Let’s dive into this delicious creation!

Ingredients:

  • 2 chicken breasts (400g)
  • 1 ripe mango, diced (200g)
  • 1 red bell pepper, sliced (100g)
  • 1 onion, sliced (100g)
  • 1 tablespoon grated ginger
  • 2 cloves of garlic, minced
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • Juice of 1 lime
  • 1 teaspoon chili flakes
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil

Kitchen Tools:

  • knife
  • cutting board
  • skillet
  • wooden spoon
  • grater
  • measuring spoons

Start by seasoning the chicken breasts with salt and pepper. In a skillet over medium heat, heat olive oil and cook the chicken breasts until they are golden brown on both sides. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set it aside.

In the same skillet, sauté the onion, garlic, and ginger until fragrant. Add the sliced red bell pepper and diced mango, and cook for a few minutes until the vegetables are slightly softened.

Return the chicken to the skillet and add soy sauce, honey, lime juice, and chili flakes. Cook everything together for another 5-7 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together.

Serve the tangy mango chicken hot over a bed of jasmine rice or quinoa, garnished with fresh cilantro and extra lime wedges for an added zing!

Approximate total weight of cooked dish: 800g
Number of servings: 4
Average weight of one serving: 200g
Approximate calorie count per serving: 300 calories

One clever tip for this dish is to marinate the chicken in a mixture of mango puree and lime juice for at least an hour before cooking to enhance the mango flavor in every bite!

I hope you give this tangy mango chicken recipe a try and enjoy every tangy, savory, and sweet bite. Feel free to customize it with your favorite veggies or spice it up with extra chili if you like it hot. Happy cooking!
