Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces chicken breast
- 2 medium fresh mango
- 1 cup coconut milk
- 1 medium red onion
- 1 tablespoon ginger
- 2 cloves garlic
- 2 tablespoons lime juice
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon coriander seeds
- 0.5 teaspoon red chili flakes
- 0.25 cup cilantro
Instructions
Peel and pit the mangoes, then cut them into small cubes. Set aside one mango for garnish.
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Finely chop the red onion and mince the garlic and ginger. Add them to the skillet and cook until the onion is soft, about 5 minutes.
Add the coriander seeds and red chili flakes to the skillet, stirring to release their flavors, for about 1-2 minutes.
Add the chicken breasts to the skillet, sprinkle with salt and black pepper, and cook for about 5 minutes on each side, until golden brown.
In a blender, combine the cubed mango, coconut milk, and lime juice. Blend until smooth.
Pour the mango coconut mixture over the chicken in the skillet. Reduce the heat to low and cover. Let simmer for about 15-20 minutes, or until the chicken is fully cooked and tender.
Chop the cilantro and sprinkle it over the chicken before serving.
Slice the reserved mango and use it to garnish the dish before serving.
Serve hot with a side of rice or quinoa for a complete meal.
