Ingredients
- 4 pieces chicken breasts
- 2 cups fresh mango
- 0.25 cup coconut aminos
- 2 tablespoons lime juice
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 3 cloves garlic
- 1 teaspoon ginger
- 0.5 teaspoon red chili flakes
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.25 cup fresh cilantro
Directions
Step 1
Peel and pit the mangoes, then chop them into small chunks and set aside.
Step 2
Finely mince the garlic cloves and grate the ginger root.
Step 3
In a blender, combine the chopped mango, coconut aminos, lime juice, minced garlic, grated ginger, and red chili flakes. Blend until smooth and set the sauce aside.
Step 4
Season the chicken breasts with salt and black pepper on both sides.
Step 5
In a large skillet over medium heat, pour in the olive oil. Once the oil is hot, add the chicken breasts to the skillet.
Step 6
Cook the chicken for 6-7 minutes on each side, ensuring the chicken is cooked through and reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
Step 7
Once the chicken is cooked, pour the mango sauce over the chicken breasts in the skillet.
Step 8
Reduce the heat to low and let the chicken simmer in the sauce for about 5-7 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld and the sauce to thicken slightly.
Step 9
Before serving, chop the fresh cilantro and sprinkle it over the top of the chicken.
Step 10
Serve the Whole30 Mango Chicken hot, garnished with extra lime wedges if desired.
