Exploring New Tastes: Tangy Mango Chicken

As the weather starts to warm up, I find myself craving bright and fresh flavors in my meals. Today, I’m excited to share a recipe for tangy mango chicken that combines the sweetness of ripe mangoes with savory chicken and a hint of spice. This dish is perfect for a light lunch or dinner that’s bursting with tropical flavors.

Ingredients:

• 4 chicken breast fillets (600g)
• 1 ripe mango, peeled and diced (200g)
• 1 red bell pepper, thinly sliced (100g)
• 1 onion, finely chopped (50g)
• 2 cloves of garlic, minced
• A handful of fresh cilantro, chopped
• Juice of 1 lime
• 2 tablespoons of olive oil
• 1 teaspoon of ground cumin
• 1 teaspoon of paprika
• Salt and pepper to taste

Kitchen Tools:

• skillet
• knife
• cutting board
• wooden spoon

To start, heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and minced garlic, sautéing until fragrant. Season the chicken breast fillets with cumin, paprika, salt, and pepper, then add them to the skillet. Cook until browned on both sides, about 6-7 minutes per side.

Once the chicken is cooked through, add the diced mango and sliced red bell pepper to the skillet. Squeeze the lime juice over the mixture and stir well to combine. Let everything simmer for another 5 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.

Before serving, sprinkle fresh cilantro over the dish for a burst of herbaceous freshness. This tangy mango chicken is best enjoyed hot, served over a bed of fluffy rice or with a side of warm tortillas.

One tip to enhance the flavor of this dish is to marinate the chicken in a mixture of lime juice, olive oil, and cumin for an hour before cooking. This will infuse the meat with tangy and aromatic notes that complement the mango perfectly.
