Hey guys this is my recipe. When you mix the last sauce add the water but make sure it is HOT so the honey is mixable instead of sticky. And I just put fresh mango's in the juicer to get the nectar. Enjoy! IMPORTANT juice your mango once its nice and soft it's sweet when it's soft and has a more sour taste when it's still a bit firm
I've made this now a few times and I prefer it with a few changes. I substitute about 1/4 cup of Thai Sweet Red Chili Sauce for the honey and lemon juice and I puree a fresh mango in the food processor instead of using juice or nectar. After the chicken cooks I set it aside and stir-fry some broccoli then add the chicken back in with the sauce. At the very end I toss in some fresh mango slices just to warm them. I garnish with sliced red onion and chopped cilantro. Served with basmati rice this is a delicious meal!
Just finished preparing this for my family and it was a hit. I did make a few adjustments. I doubled this recipe. Instead of garlic powder I used 6 cloves of garlic and added them skillet along with some sliced baby bellas while I was browning my chicken. Also in lieu of mango nectar I used a mango smoothie that i found in a bottle in the cold juice aisle it had lemon juice in it so I omitted that from the recipe. I served it with Jasmine rice and sliced mango. My husband and 8 year old daughter both loved it. Will definately make again.
Rotisserie Version: I used 1/2 a rotisserie chicken (chopped up) so I just skipped the first part. I made the sauce added the chicken brought to a boil and then let it simmer for 10 minutes. I served it over brown rice. I did use 1/2 cup balasmic dressing instead of straight vinegar and decreased the water to 1/2 cup. Also I just chopped up 1 whole mango. I liked the chunks. It's different but in a good way.:) Thanks for sharing the recipe!
This was very good. I used pork chops instead of chicken. I made a few of the chops plain (for the kids) and the other with the mango in the egg mixture and I honestly couldn't tell much difference in the breading between the two. But the sauce...it was great. A little too sweet maybe for my taste I want to try it again with some red pepper flakes. All in all this is a great recipe! Thanks for posting it!
I've made this twice now and it's been incredible both times! It's easy delicious and receives rave reviews! I made it with mashed potatoes and a salad...perfect...
I made this a few days ago after my husband found a good deal on chicken breasts. It was absolutely delicious! There was nothing that I would change here. It was great with jasmine rice. My husband said "this chicken died for a good cause":) Thank You greatfoodaddict!
This recipe was very good and very different. I couldn't find Mango Nectar so I used Peach Nectar (I had trouble finding this in the store - but finally did find it in the international isle - near oriental foods). I bought 2 cans and it was more than enough. I didnt' change anything about the recipe except for using the peach nectar. As other reviewers noted - there is enough sauce for way more than 2 chicken breasts. I used 6 whole breasts (thin sliced) and still had too much sauce (for coating the chicken). Instead of simmering the chicken in the balsamic on the stovetop I put in the oven to heat through and it came out fine. I just left it in the oven for probably 20 mins or so at 350 while my sweet potatoes heated. This recipe was very good very sweet - a good change for a chicken recipe. It won't be on my regular weekly menu but definitely great for company or a special occasion where you want something a little different. Next time I will try with the Jamine rice that everyone refers to. Thank you for sharing your recipe!
The chicken was great but we thought the sauce was merely ok. I served it over Jasmine rice. The recipe made alot of sauce so if I made this again I would probably half the sauce recipe. Like others I didn't really taste the mango in the chicken coating.
The coating fell off the chicken and into the broth. Way more sauce(broth...never thickened) than needed for 2 breasts or even 4 as I used. Broth was too tart...no body or depth. I would say that the chicken was tender and juicey but nothing more appealed to me.
