TYPICALLY TROPICAL MANGO CHICKEN

Typically Tropical Mango Chicken image

A dish I created for the RSC #8. It has it all, and you just need to serve it with rice and fried plantains. I made it several times before posting it and came to the conclusion that if I replaced the scotch bonnet with a green or red chili it is still a very good dish but it loses some of the taste sensation. I realize that it is sometimes difficult to obtain certain ingredients and that the heat of a scotch bonnet might not be to your taste, so please feel free to substitute if availability is a problem. Note that the raisins need to be soaked for several hours and this is not included in the prep time.

Categories Chicken Stir-Fry

Time 30m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 12

Ingredients

1 cup mango nectar
½ cup chicken stock
2 tablespoons cornstarch
2 tablespoons soy sauce
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 pound skinless, boneless chicken breast, cut into 1/4-inch strips
1 small onion, halved and sliced
1 clove garlic, crushed
1 medium red bell pepper, cut into 1/2-inch strips
1 medium green bell pepper, cut into 1/2-inch strips
2 medium mangos - peeled, seeded, and cut into thin strips
2 cups hot cooked rice

Steps:

Whisk mango nectar, chicken stock, cornstarch, and soy sauce together in a bowl until well combined; set sauce aside.
Heat oil in a large pan or wok over medium-high heat. Add chicken, onion, and garlic and fry until onion is soft and chicken is no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, 3 to 5 minutes.
Add bell peppers to the pan and toss gently. Cover and steam until softened but still firm, about 3 minutes. Add mangos; cook until heated through, about 1 minute.
Give reserved sauce another quick whisk and stir gently into the pan. Cook until sauce is thick, 1 to 2 minutes; peppers and mangos should still be firm, not mushy!
Remove from heat and serve with rice.

Tips:

Choose ripe mangoes: Look for mangoes that are slightly soft to the touch and have a sweet, fragrant smell. Avoid mangoes that are too hard or have blemishes.
Use boneless, skinless chicken breasts: This will save you time and effort, and it will also help to ensure that the chicken cooks evenly.
Marinate the chicken in a flavorful mixture: This will help to tenderize the chicken and add flavor. You can use a variety of marinades, such as a mixture of olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, and herbs.
Cook the chicken over medium-high heat: This will help to sear the chicken and lock in the juices. Once the chicken is browned on all sides, reduce the heat to medium-low and cook until the chicken is cooked through.
Add the mangoes toward the end of cooking: This will help to prevent them from becoming too soft. You can also add other tropical fruits, such as pineapple, papaya, or kiwi.
Serve the mango chicken with a variety of sides: Some popular options include rice, noodles, vegetables, or salad.

Conclusion:

Mango chicken is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a summer meal. The combination of sweet mangoes and savory chicken is sure to please everyone at your table. With a few simple tips, you can make a mango chicken dish that is both flavorful and satisfying. So next time you're looking for a new and exciting recipe, give mango chicken a try!
