Ingredients

  • 2 lbs chicken breast cut into bite size pieces (See Note 1)
  • 2 cups mango chunks thawed if frozen

Marinade

Cooking

Garnish

  • cilantro
  • 1/2 cup chopped cashews or almonds optional

Instructions

  • Whisk marinade ingredients to combine, then add to a bowl with chicken. Cover and refrigerate for an hour.
  • Using an immersion blender or stick blender, puree the mango and set aside.
  • Heat vegetable oil over high heat in large fry pan. Add marinated chicken and cook for 3-5 minutes, or until the chicken is white all over - it doesn't really brown due to the marinade.
  • Add mango puree and coconut milk or cream, stirring to combine. Turn heat to low and simmer for 15 minutes uncovered. Sauce will thicken.
  • Season with salt if needed. Remove from heat. Serve over steamed rice of choice. Garnish with cilantro leaves and chopped nuts if desired.

Notes

  1. Feel free to substitute 2 pounds chicken tenders or boneless, skinless thigh meat.
  2. Use more or less garam masala seasoning depending on your taste for spicy heat. This is not a very hot dish, the spice blend is more flavorful than spicy. I think sometimes people confuse spices with heat, and there is a difference! 🙂
  3. Use more or less cayenne, depending on the level of heat you like.
