Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces chicken breasts
- 2 whole ripe mangoes
- 2 tablespoons lime juice
- 3 tablespoons honey
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 3 whole garlic cloves
- 1 tablespoon fresh ginger
- 1 teaspoon red chili flakes
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons coriander leaves
- 0.25 cup water
- 1 teaspoon cornstarch
Instructions
Peel and pit the mangoes, then dice the flesh. Set aside half for garnishing.
In a blender, combine one and a half diced mangoes, lime juice, honey, olive oil, peeled garlic cloves, grated ginger, red chili flakes, salt, and black pepper.
Blend until smooth to form the mango sauce.
Season the chicken breasts with salt and black pepper.
In a large pan over medium heat, sear the chicken breasts in a bit of olive oil until golden brown on each side, about 5 minutes per side. Remove chicken from the pan and set aside.
In the same pan, add the blended mango sauce and let it simmer for 2-3 minutes.
Combine cornstarch with water to make a slurry and add to the sauce, stirring until it thickens slightly.
Return the seared chicken breasts to the pan, coating them well with the mango sauce.
Cover the pan and let it cook on low heat for about 15-20 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through and tender.
Garnish the mango chicken with the remaining diced mangoes and chopped coriander leaves before serving.
Serve the soy-free mango chicken hot with a side of steamed rice or quinoa.
