Tasty, Tangy Chicken
Looking for a unique chicken and rice dish that won’t take hours to prep? Try this tasty Mango Chicken and Rice recipe! With mango chutney, tender chicken, red onion and red bell pepper, it has a perfect mix of citrusy, sweet and savory flavors.
Paired with our Success® Jasmine Rice this recipe is super easy to put together. Once you choose your rice, cook it in the microwave or on the stovetop.
Meanwhile, you can start cutting up your mango. Once that’s done, you can focus on the chicken. The secret to having perfect, tender chunks of chicken is to quickly sear the exterior of the meat in hot oil. Shortly after, you’ll add red onion and red bell pepper, and sauté everything together.
To the same pan, add in the mango chutney, precooked rice, freshly cut mango and cilantro. Give this mix a quick stir and you’ll be ready to go!
Mango Slicing 101
To expertly cut a mango, start lengthwise and cut off each side of your mango just past the pit. Take each section of fruit and, with the skin side down, carefully slice the fruit horizontally and vertically without cutting through the skin, to make squares. Then lightly scoop out the flesh with the skin still intact. Try to cut what you can off of the remaining sides, as well.
Not a Cilantro Fan?
If you’re the type of person who tries to avoid cilantro, simply substitute it with an equal amount of fresh parsley, tarragon, dill or mix and match the three.
