Ingredients

• 4 pieces chicken breast
• 2 medium fresh mango
• 1 cup coconut milk
• 1 medium red onion
• 1 tablespoon ginger
• 2 cloves garlic
• 2 tablespoons lime juice
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 teaspoon coriander seeds
• 0.5 teaspoon red chili flakes
• 0.25 cup cilantro

Directions

Step 1

Peel and pit the mangoes, then cut them into small cubes. Set aside one mango for garnish.

Step 2

Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.

Step 3

Finely chop the red onion and mince the garlic and ginger. Add them to the skillet and cook until the onion is soft, about 5 minutes.

Step 4

Add the coriander seeds and red chili flakes to the skillet, stirring to release their flavors, for about 1-2 minutes.

Step 5

Add the chicken breasts to the skillet, sprinkle with salt and black pepper, and cook for about 5 minutes on each side, until golden brown.

Step 6

In a blender, combine the cubed mango, coconut milk, and lime juice. Blend until smooth.

Step 7

Pour the mango coconut mixture over the chicken in the skillet. Reduce the heat to low and cover. Let simmer for about 15-20 minutes, or until the chicken is fully cooked and tender.

Step 8

Chop the cilantro and sprinkle it over the chicken before serving.

Step 9

Slice the reserved mango and use it to garnish the dish before serving.

Step 10

Serve hot with a side of rice or quinoa for a complete meal.
