Mango-Pecan Chicken Recipe

Mango-Pecan Chicken Recipe

  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
  • 1 onion, halved and sliced
  • 2 mangos – peeled, seeded, and cubed
  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice
  • 1 tablespoon white sugar
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
  • 1/8 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/8 teaspoon ground mace
  • 4 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves – cut in half lengthwise
  • salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
  • 1/4 cup chopped pecans
  1. Heat 1 tablespoon vegetable oil in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add onion; cook and stir until the onion softens and turns translucent, about 5 minutes. Add mangos, lemon juice, sugar, ginger, cinnamon, and mace. Bring to a simmer and cook for 5 minutes, stirring constantly. Turn heat to low, cover, and allow to cook 5 minutes more.
  2. While the mango sauce is simmering, season chicken breasts with salt and pepper to taste. Heat remaining 1 tablespoon vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add chicken, and cook on both sides until nicely browned, and the chicken is no longer pink in the center, about 8 minutes per side.
  3. To serve, place one or two pieces of chicken onto each serving plate. Spoon mango sauce over the top, and sprinkle with pecans.
