Introducing: Mango Basil Chicken Pasta

Greetings foodies! Today, I am excited to share with you a delightful and unexpected dish that combines the sweet flavors of mango with the fresh aroma of basil in a savory chicken pasta. This unique recipe is perfect for a summer dinner when you want to try something new and exciting.

For this recipe, you will need the following ingredients:

  • boneless, skinless chicken breast (300g)
  • penne pasta (200g)
  • mango, diced (1 medium)
  • fresh basil leaves, chopped (1/2 cup)
  • garlic, minced (2 cloves)
  • olive oil (2 tbsp)
  • heavy cream (1/2 cup)
  • parmesan cheese, grated (1/4 cup)
  • salt and pepper to taste

To bring this dish together, you will need the following kitchen tools:

  • skillet
  • pot
  • knife
  • cutting board
  • spatula

Start by cooking the penne pasta according to the package instructions. In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat and add the minced garlic. Cook until fragrant, then add the diced chicken breast. Season with salt and pepper, and cook until the chicken is no longer pink.

Next, add the diced mango to the skillet and stir to combine. Pour in the heavy cream and let it simmer for a few minutes until the sauce thickens slightly. Add the chopped basil and grated parmesan cheese, then stir well to coat everything in the creamy sauce.

Once the pasta is cooked and drained, add it to the skillet with the chicken, mango, and basil mixture. Toss everything together until the pasta is well coated with the creamy sauce. Adjust the seasoning with salt and pepper to taste.

Voila! Your mango basil chicken pasta is ready to be served. This dish has a total weight of approximately 900g and serves 4 people. Each serving is around 225g, with an estimated calorie count of 400 per portion.

A clever tip for this dish is to sprinkle some chili flakes on top before serving to add a spicy kick that complements the sweetness of the mango perfectly. I hope you give this recipe a try and enjoy experimenting with different flavors in your cooking. Bon appétit!
