Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces chicken breasts
- 2 cups fresh mango
- 0.25 cup coconut aminos
- 2 tablespoons lime juice
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 3 cloves garlic
- 1 teaspoon ginger
- 0.5 teaspoon red chili flakes
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.25 cup fresh cilantro
Instructions
Peel and pit the mangoes, then chop them into small chunks and set aside.
Finely mince the garlic cloves and grate the ginger root.
In a blender, combine the chopped mango, coconut aminos, lime juice, minced garlic, grated ginger, and red chili flakes. Blend until smooth and set the sauce aside.
Season the chicken breasts with salt and black pepper on both sides.
In a large skillet over medium heat, pour in the olive oil. Once the oil is hot, add the chicken breasts to the skillet.
Cook the chicken for 6-7 minutes on each side, ensuring the chicken is cooked through and reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
Once the chicken is cooked, pour the mango sauce over the chicken breasts in the skillet.
Reduce the heat to low and let the chicken simmer in the sauce for about 5-7 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld and the sauce to thicken slightly.
Before serving, chop the fresh cilantro and sprinkle it over the top of the chicken.
Serve the Whole30 Mango Chicken hot, garnished with extra lime wedges if desired.
