Today’s Recipe: Spicy Mango Coconut Chicken

Hello, foodies! Today, I am excited to share a recipe that embodies the vibrant flavors of summer. This spicy mango coconut chicken dish is a perfect blend of sweet, spicy, and tangy, with a creamy coconut twist. It’s a dish that will transport you to a tropical paradise with every bite.

Ingredients:

  • 400g chicken breast
  • 1 ripe mango
  • 200ml coconut milk
  • 1 red chili pepper
  • 1-inch piece of fresh ginger
  • 2 cloves of garlic
  • 1 lime
  • Handful of fresh coriander
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Kitchen Tools:

  • knife
  • cutting board
  • skillet
  • grater
  • mixing bowl

To start, thinly slice the chicken breast into strips and season them with salt and pepper. In a skillet over medium heat, cook the chicken until browned and cooked through. Remove from the skillet and set aside.

Next, peel and dice the mango, mince the garlic, ginger, and chili pepper. In the same skillet, sauté the garlic, ginger, and chili until fragrant. Add the diced mango and cook until it starts to soften.

Pour in the coconut milk and bring the mixture to a simmer. Add the cooked chicken back into the skillet and stir to combine. Let it simmer for a few minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.

Squeeze in the juice of the lime and add a handful of chopped coriander. Give it a final stir and adjust the seasoning with salt and pepper if needed.

Once the chicken is well-coated in the creamy mango coconut sauce and everything is heated through, you’re ready to serve. This dish pairs beautifully with steamed rice or naan bread.

Approximate total weight of the cooked dish: 800g
Approximate number of servings: 4
Average weight of one serving: 200g
Approximate calorie count per serving: 350 calories

One clever tip for this dish is to sprinkle some toasted coconut flakes on top before serving. It adds a crunchy texture and enhances the coconut flavor of the dish.

I hope you give this spicy mango coconut chicken a try and enjoy the burst of tropical flavors in every bite. Feel free to customize the spice level to suit your taste preferences. Happy cooking!
