This dish is perfect for those warm summer evenings when you want something light yet satisfying. Let’s dive into the details!

Ingredients:

• boneless chicken breast (200g)
• ripe mango (1)

• garlic (2 cloves)
• ginger (1-inch piece)
• red chili (1)
• lime juice (1 tbsp)
• salt and pepper to taste

Kitchen Tools:

To start, slice the chicken breast into bite-sized pieces and season with salt and pepper. In a skillet over medium heat, cook the chicken until it’s golden brown and cooked through. Set the chicken aside and in the same skillet, add diced mango, coconut milk, minced garlic, grated ginger, chopped red chili, and lime juice. Let it simmer for a few minutes until the sauce thickens.

In a blender, combine the mango coconut mixture with fresh basil leaves and blend until smooth. Pour the sauce back into the skillet, add the cooked chicken, and simmer for another 5 minutes to let the flavors meld together. Serve the Mango Coconut Basil Chicken over rice or with a side of steamed veggies.

This dish yields approximately 600g of delicious Mango Coconut Basil Chicken, serving 2 hungry individuals. Each serving is around 300g and has an estimated calorie count of 350. A tip to make this dish even more flavorful is to marinate the chicken in coconut milk and basil before cooking for an extra burst of taste.
