Introducing: Mango Coconut Chicken

Today, I am excited to share with you a recipe that reminds me of warm summer days and tropical vacations. This Mango Coconut Chicken dish is a burst of flavors and textures that will transport you to a paradise island with every bite.

Ingredients:

  • 300g chicken breast
  • 1 ripe mango
  • 200ml coconut milk
  • 2 tbsp yellow curry paste
  • 1 red bell pepper
  • 1 onion
  • 2 garlic cloves
  • 1-inch piece of ginger
  • 1 lime
  • Handful of fresh cilantro
  • Cooked rice for serving

Kitchen Tools:

  • knife
  • cutting board
  • skillet
  • wooden spoon
  • grater
  • zester

To start, thinly slice the chicken breast into bite-sized pieces and set aside. Dice the onion, mince the garlic, grate the ginger, and slice the red bell pepper into strips. Peel and dice the mango into chunks, discarding the pit.

In a skillet over medium heat, add the yellow curry paste and sauté for a minute until fragrant. Then, add the onion, garlic, ginger, and red bell pepper. Cook until the vegetables are softened.

Next, add the sliced chicken breast to the skillet and cook until it is no longer pink. Pour in the coconut milk and bring the mixture to a simmer. Let it cook for 10-15 minutes until the chicken is cooked through and the sauce has thickened slightly.

Stir in the diced mango and cook for an additional 5 minutes until the mango is heated through. Squeeze the juice of the lime over the dish and stir to combine. Remove the skillet from heat.

Serve the Mango Coconut Chicken over cooked rice and garnish with fresh cilantro and a sprinkle of lime zest for an extra burst of flavor.
