Sensational Summer Dish: Mango Basil Chicken Recipe

Today’s Unique Dish: Mango Basil Chicken

I’m excited to share a new recipe that combines the sweetness of mango with the freshness of basil and the savory flavor of chicken. This dish is perfect for a summer evening when you’re looking for something light and flavorful to enjoy with your loved ones.

Ingredients:

• boneless, skinless chicken breasts (400g)
• ripe mango (1 large)
• fresh basil leaves (30g)
• garlic (2 cloves)
• olive oil (30ml)
• salt
• black pepper

Kitchen Tools:

• knife
• cutting board
• frying pan
• blender

Start by cutting the chicken breasts into bite-sized pieces and seasoning them with salt and pepper. Heat the olive oil in a frying pan over medium-high heat and cook the chicken until it’s golden brown and cooked through.

In the meantime, peel and dice the mango, mince the garlic, and roughly chop the basil leaves. Once the chicken is cooked, remove it from the pan and set it aside. In the same pan, sauté the garlic until fragrant, then add the mango chunks and cook until they soften.

Transfer the cooked mango and garlic mixture to a blender and blend until smooth. Return the chicken to the pan and pour the mango sauce over it. Let it simmer for a few minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.

Finally, toss in the chopped basil leaves and stir to combine. The aroma of the basil mixing with the sweet mango and savory chicken is truly delightful. Serve the mango basil chicken hot, garnished with a few fresh basil leaves for an extra pop of color and flavor.

The total weight of the cooked dish is approximately 700g, which should yield 4 servings. Each serving is around 175g, with an estimated calorie count of 250 per serving.

One unique tip for this recipe is to marinate the chicken in a mixture of mango puree, basil, and garlic for a few hours before cooking. This will infuse the meat with even more flavor and make it extra tender.

I hope you give this mango basil chicken recipe a try and enjoy experimenting with different ingredients to make it your own. It’s a versatile dish that’s sure to become a favorite in your kitchen!
