Today’s Culinary Invention: Spicy Mango Basil Chicken

Greetings, foodies! Today, I’m excited to share with you my latest creation: Spicy Mango Basil Chicken. This dish was inspired by the vibrant colors and flavors of summer, combining sweet mango with spicy chili and fresh basil for a unique and delicious twist on a classic chicken dish.

To make this flavorful dish, you will need the following ingredients:

  • chicken breast (400g)
  • mango (1 large, diced)
  • fresh basil (1 cup, chopped)
  • red chili (1, thinly sliced)
  • garlic (3 cloves, minced)
  • soy sauce (2 tbsp)
  • honey (1 tbsp)
  • olive oil (2 tbsp)
  • salt and pepper to taste

For this recipe, you will need the following kitchen tools:

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

Start by slicing the chicken breast into thin strips, then season with salt and pepper. In a skillet over medium heat, add olive oil and sauté the chicken until cooked through. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.

In the same skillet, add garlic and red chili, sautéing until fragrant. Add diced mango, soy sauce, and honey, stirring to combine. Return the cooked chicken to the skillet and mix well to coat everything in the flavorful sauce.

Finally, add the chopped basil and toss everything together. Cook for an additional few minutes to allow the flavors to meld together. Serve the Spicy Mango Basil Chicken hot, garnished with extra basil leaves for a pop of color and freshness.

Once cooked, the total weight of this dish is approximately 800g, with 4 servings. Each serving weighs around 200g and has an estimated calorie count of 300 calories.

A unique tip for this recipe is to sprinkle some crushed peanuts on top before serving for an added crunch and nutty flavor that complements the sweetness of the mango.

I hope you enjoy trying out this Spicy Mango Basil Chicken recipe. Feel free to customize it with your favorite veggies or protein to make it your own. Happy cooking!
