Time 24m

Yield 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

6 boneless skinless chicken breasts
vegetable oil
1/2 red onion
1 large mango
14 ounces coconut milk
2 teaspoons dried basil leaves
2 teaspoons ground cumin
1/2 teaspoon chili flakes
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 lime
1/2 cup coarsely chopped fresh basil

Steps:

  • Slice each chicken breast lengthwise into 3 or 4 thick strips. Lightly oil a large wide saucepan and set over medium heat. When hot, add chicken. Stir often until chicken loses its pink color, 4 to 5 minutes. Meanwhile, place onion on a cutting board, cut side down, then thinly slice. Peel mango. Slice fruit from stone in large pieces then cut into thick bite size strips.
  • When chicken is no longer pink, remove to a large plate. Pour coconut milk into pan. Pour coconut milk into pan. Increase heat to medium-high. Add onion, dried basil, cumin, chili flakes and salt. Boil, uncovered and stirring often, until sauce is reduced by half, about 4 to 5 minutes. Return chicken and any juices to pan. Reduce heat to medium.
  • Add mango and stir often, uncovered, until chicken is springy when pressed, 6 to 8 minute Slice lime in half and cut one half into 6 think wedges. Coarsely chop basil. When chicken is cooked, squeeze juice from half of lime over top. Sprinkle with fresh basil. I found this recipe is great with rice noodles and snow peas. Serve with lime wedges.

Time 55m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 9

1/2 small red onion, thinly sliced
2 tablespoons rice vinegar, plus more, for the sauce
3 pounds bone-in skin-on chicken thighs, trimmed of excess fat (6 to 8 thighs)
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
One 15-ounce can black beans, rinsed and drained
1 firm ripe mango, peeled and cut into 1/2-inch pieces
3 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro
1/2 cup plus 1 tablespoon coconut milk
2 teaspoons chopped chipotle chiles in adobo

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F.

  • Transfer the chicken to 4 dinner plates. Carefully pour out the excess fat from the skillet and place on the stovetop over medium-high heat (use caution; the handle will be extremely hot). Add the chipotle chiles, remaining 1/2 cup coconut milk and 1/2 cup water; bring to a boil, scraping the browned bits from the pan. Reduce the heat and simmer until the sauce is slightly thickened, about 3 minutes. Add a splash of vinegar and season with salt.
