Ingredients for Mango Curry Chicken

• Chicken – the recipe calls for boneless, skinless chicken breast., but feel free to swap with thigh meat or bone-in chicken parts for more flavor
• Mango – use frozen mangoes if the fruit is not in season
• Coconut milk – substitute with sour cream or all-purpose cream if preferred

Helpful tips

• Slice the chicken into uniform size for even cooking.
• Use Alphonso or Ataulfo mangoes if available. These varieties have a sweeter taste and less fibrous flesh.
• The overall flavor of the dish depends on the fruit used. If the mangoes are fully ripe and very sweet, balance the dish with a tablespoon or so of lemon juice or vinegar. If the mangoes are on the sour side, add honey or brown sugar to taste.
• Use full-fat coconut milk for maximum creaminess. Cook at a gentle heat and do not boil lest the sauce separates or curdles.

How to serve

• Mango chicken curry is delicious for lunch or dinner. Serve with basmati or coconut rice for a hearty, flavor-packed meal!
• For leftovers, transfer in a container with a lid and refrigerate for up to 3 days. The dish doesn’t freeze well as the sauce tends to separate when frozen and thawed.
• Reheat in a saucepan over medium-low heat until completely warmed through or in the microwave at 2 to 3-minute intervals, stirring well between intervals.
