Ingredients
- 4 pieces Boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 cups Fresh pineapple, diced
- 1 large Mango, diced
- 1 medium Red bell pepper, diced
- 1 cup Coconut milk
- 1 tablespoon Fresh ginger, grated
- 2 Garlic cloves, minced
- 2 tablespoons Fresh lime juice
- 2 tablespoons Chopped fresh cilantro
- 4 servings Cooked white or brown rice
Directions
Step 1
Season the chicken breasts on both sides with salt and black pepper.
Step 2
Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the chicken breasts and sear on each side for about 3-4 minutes, or until they are golden brown. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
Step 3
In the same skillet, add the remaining tablespoon of olive oil. Add the grated ginger and minced garlic, cooking for 1 minute until fragrant.
Step 4
Add the diced pineapple, mango, and red bell pepper to the skillet. Stir and cook for 3-5 minutes until the fruits and vegetables soften slightly.
Step 5
Pour in the coconut milk, stir well, and bring to a simmer. Add the lime juice and mix again.
Step 6
Return the chicken breasts to the skillet, nestling them into the tropical sauce. Reduce the heat to low, cover, and let cook for 12-15 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through (internal temperature of 165°F/74°C).
Step 7
Sprinkle the chopped cilantro over the finished dish just before serving.
Step 8
Serve the tropical chicken over cooked white or brown rice for a complete meal. Enjoy!
