Today’s Summer Recipe: Mango Basil Chicken

Hey there, foodie friends! Today I am super excited to share with you my latest creation, Mango Basil Chicken. This dish is inspired by the vibrant flavors of summer and is perfect for a light and refreshing meal on a sunny day.

Ingredients:

  • chicken breast (300g)
  • ripe mango (1)
  • fresh basil leaves (10g)
  • coconut milk (200ml)
  • lime (1)
  • garlic cloves (2)
  • ginger (1-inch piece)
  • honey (1 tbsp)
  • salt
  • black pepper

Kitchen Tools:

  • knife
  • cutting board
  • skillet
  • blender
  • zester

To start, thinly slice the chicken breast and season with salt and black pepper. In a skillet over medium heat, cook the chicken until browned and cooked through. Set aside.

Peel and dice the ripe mango, then add it to a blender along with fresh basil leaves, coconut milk, lime juice, garlic, ginger, and honey. Blend until smooth and creamy.

Pour the mango basil sauce over the cooked chicken in the skillet. Stir well to combine, then let it simmer for a few minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.

Once the sauce has thickened slightly, remove the skillet from the heat. Garnish with lime zest and additional basil leaves for a pop of freshness.

This Mango Basil Chicken is best served hot, with a side of steamed rice or crusty bread to soak up the flavorful sauce.

The total weight of the cooked dish is approximately 600g, with 4 servings. Each serving is around 150g, with an estimated calorie count of 250 calories.

Pro tip: For an extra burst of flavor, try marinating the chicken in the mango basil sauce for a few hours before cooking. This will infuse the meat with even more deliciousness!

I hope you give this Mango Basil Chicken recipe a try and enjoy it as much as I do. Feel free to experiment with different herbs and spices to make it your own masterpiece. Happy cooking!
