Mango (and Maybe Pineapple) Chicken
Quick and easy chicken recipe for two
Difficulty Level: easy
Ingredients
- -one mango
- -a marinade. This can either be homemade, a salad dressing (which works really well depending on the kind), or you could buy some at the store. I used a ginger-chili marinade. I would also recommend teriyaki.
- -pineapple (optional), if you like pineapple. I used one of those little cups of pineapple pieces with the juice.
- -chicken. I grabbed some chicken tenders (a pack of seven from earthfare)
- -butter or canola oil or something to grease your pan with
- -something to serve it with! Rice works really well, or, if you’re feeling fancy/have a few extra bucks, use polenta.
- you’ll also need things to cook with, like pots and pans and stuff. Take it from someone who knows- no plastic utensils. It will not turn out well for you.
Instructions
-marinate your chicken. Dump it into a bag with your marinade and the pineapple (if you’re using it). You could also add all of or part of the mangoes if you want to- personally i like to leave them apart and add them at the end.
-leave the chicken in the fridge overnight.
-take it out the next day when you’re ready to cook. If you’re doing a side such as rice or polenta, cook that first and set it aside.
-separate the chicken from the marinade and set it aside. You may or may not want to keep the pineapple in with it.
-heat up your pan on medium heat and butter or grease it in some way while it heats up.
-dump in the chicken! Cook it until it’s golden brown and delicious!
-toss some mango on that mess!
-serve it with the rice or polenta or vegetables or whatever you want, man, it’s all up to you.
