Exploring Exotic Flavors: Sweet and Spicy Mango Curry Chicken

Today, I’m excited to share a unique and flavorful recipe inspired by my recent trip to Thailand. The vibrant colors, exotic spices, and bold flavors of Thai cuisine left a lasting impression on me, and I couldn’t wait to recreate a taste of it at home. This sweet and spicy mango curry chicken dish is a perfect fusion of tropical sweetness and fiery spices, making it a delightful and unexpected addition to any dinner table.

Ingredients:

• 500g chicken breast, diced
• 1 large ripe mango, cubed
• 400ml coconut milk
• 3 tbsp red curry paste
• 2 tbsp fish sauce
• 2 tbsp brown sugar
• 2 tbsp lime juice
• Handful of fresh basil leaves

Kitchen Tools:

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

To start, heat a large skillet over medium heat and add the red curry paste. Cook for a few minutes until fragrant, then add the diced chicken breast. Stir and cook until the chicken is browned on all sides.

Next, pour in the coconut milk, fish sauce, and brown sugar. Stir well to combine, then add the cubed mango. Let the mixture simmer for about 10-15 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together and the chicken to cook through.

Once the chicken is cooked, drizzle in the lime juice and tear the fresh basil leaves into the curry. Stir everything together until the basil is wilted and the curry is fragrant and flavorful.

Remove the skillet from the heat and let the curry rest for a few minutes before serving. This dish is best enjoyed hot over a bed of steamed jasmine rice, allowing the sweet and spicy flavors to shine through.

This sweet and spicy mango curry chicken dish weighs approximately 1350g after cooking and serves 4 people. Each serving weighs around 337g, with an estimated calorie count of 350 per serving.

One clever tip to make this dish even more delicious is to add a handful of toasted cashew nuts for an extra crunch and nutty flavor. This simple addition takes the dish to a whole new level of deliciousness!
