Tropical Twist: Spicy Mango Coconut Chicken Recipe

Today’s Culinary Creation: Spicy Mango Coconut Chicken

As the weather warms up, I find myself craving tropical flavors that transport me to a sunny island paradise. Today, I’m excited to share my recipe for Spicy Mango Coconut Chicken. This dish combines the sweetness of ripe mangoes, the creaminess of coconut milk, and a kick of spice that will awaken your taste buds.

Ingredients:

• skinless chicken breasts (400g)
• ripe mango (1 large)
• coconut milk (400ml)
• red curry paste (2 tbsp)
• fish sauce (2 tbsp)
• brown sugar (2 tbsp)
• lime juice (1 tbsp)
• chopped fresh cilantro (for garnish)

Kitchen Tools:

• chef’s knife
• cutting board
• large skillet
• wooden spoon
• measuring spoons

To start, heat a large skillet over medium heat and add the red curry paste. Cook for a minute until fragrant, then add the cubed chicken breasts and cook until browned on all sides.

Next, add the diced ripe mango, coconut milk, fish sauce, brown sugar, and lime juice to the skillet. Stir well to combine all the ingredients and bring the mixture to a simmer. Let it simmer for about 15-20 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the sauce has thickened slightly.

Once the chicken is cooked, taste the sauce and adjust the seasoning with more fish sauce or brown sugar if needed. Serve the Spicy Mango Coconut Chicken hot, garnished with chopped fresh cilantro.

This dish is best enjoyed over steamed jasmine rice or with a side of crispy garlic naan bread to soak up the delicious sauce.
