Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 2 medium ripe mangoes
- 1 cup low-sodium chicken broth
- 1 medium lime
- 2 cloves garlic cloves
- 1 inch fresh ginger
- 0.5 cup fresh cilantro
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoon ground cumin
- 0.5 teaspoon ground coriander
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Begin by peeling and dicing the mangoes. Place the diced mangoes in a blender or food processor.
Juice the lime and add the juice to the blender with the mangoes.
Peel and mince the garlic cloves and the ginger. Add them into the blender.
Blend the mixture until smooth, then set aside.
Season the chicken breasts with salt, black pepper, ground cumin, and ground coriander on both sides.
Heat the olive oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat.
Place the seasoned chicken breasts in the skillet and sear them for about 3-4 minutes on each side, until they are nicely browned but not cooked through.
Reduce the heat to medium and pour the chicken broth into the skillet.
Add the mango puree to the skillet, stirring to combine with the chicken broth.
Cover the skillet and let the chicken cook in the mango sauce for about 15 minutes, or until fully cooked and the internal temperature of the chicken reaches 165°F (74°C).
While the chicken is cooking, chop the fresh cilantro.
Once the chicken is done, sprinkle the chopped cilantro over the top before serving.
Serve hot with a side of rice or salad for a complete low-fat meal.
