I let my taste buds go on 'walk about' one afternoon at the grocery store and this recipe was the result of their adventure. It works well with chicken or pork or even right off the spoon! I recommend serving Jasmine rice as a side. It is the perfect complement.

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 11

Ingredients

2 tablespoons cooking oil
6 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves - rinsed and patted dry
salt to taste
1 onion, diced
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 fresh jalapeno pepper, sliced into rings
1 pound frozen tart cherries, thawed and roughly chopped
1 pound frozen mango chunks, thawed and roughly chopped
2 cups sparkling cherry juice (such as R.W. Knudsen®)
¼ cup fresh lemon juice, or to taste
2 tablespoons brown sugar

Steps:

Heat the oil in a large, deep skillet over medium heat. Sprinkle salt over both sides of each piece of chicken; cook the chicken in the hot oil until browned on both sides, but still slightly pink in the center, 3 to 5 minutes per side. Remove chicken to a plate and set aside. Add the onion, garlic, and jalapeno pepper to the remaining oil in the skillet; cook and stir until the onion is tender and beginning to brown, 5 to 7 minutes. Stir the cherry and mango into the mixture; cook and stir until the liquid in the pan is slightly thickened, 3 to 5 minutes. Add the cherry juice, lemon juice, and brown sugar to the mixture; stir and return to a simmer.
Return the chicken to the pan. Ladle some of the sauce over the chicken to cover. Return the mixture to a simmer and cook until the liquid thickens and the chicken is no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, about 10 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).

CHICKEN BACON RANCH SALAD

Chicken Bacon Ranch Salad image

I always seem to have leftover cooked chicken. This simple, tasty salad is a great use of your leftover chicken, either white meat, dark meat, or a combination! Romaine lettuce, cooked chicken, avocado, and cherry tomatoes combine with ranch dressing, and everything is topped off with crunchy bacon. Use purchased ranch salad dressing, or stir up one of the buttermilk dressing recipes on the site. Enjoy for a hearty lunch with some crackers, or for dinner, with a crusty bread. This recipe is proportioned for one person, but it's easy to double or triple for your needs.

Tips:

Use ripe mangoes and cherries: This will ensure that your dish is bursting with flavor.
Don't overcrowd the pan: When searing the chicken, make sure to give each piece enough space so that it can brown properly.
Cook the chicken until it is cooked through: This means that the internal temperature of the chicken should reach 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
Don't overcook the chicken: Otherwise, it will become dry and tough.
Make sure the sauce is thickened before serving: This will help to coat the chicken and vegetables evenly.
Garnish with fresh herbs: This will add a pop of color and flavor to your dish.

Conclusion:

Mango cherry chicken is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. The combination of sweet mangoes, tart cherries, and savory chicken is sure to please everyone at the table. With just a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can create a restaurant-quality meal that your family and friends will love.
