Mango Chicken

Recipe #66799 | 20 min | 10 min prep | SERVES 4 (Change Servings)

RECIPE BY: Sassy Sandra

This is an old "Canadian Living" Recipe that has become a family favourite. We all love it, and sometimes I increase the amount of curry paste, depending on who is coming for supper! I normally make it with a pot of rice and a salad. It's a nice "different" dish when you have company. Everyone seems to love it!

    I made this last night to use up a mango I had going spare. It was really nice and also easy to make. I'd run out of curry paste so used curry powder but the results were still really good. Thanks for this recipe!

    This was a very good recipe, lots of interesting flavors all combined. I happened to have 2 mangoes and was looking for a way to use them, this was perfect. It is very easy to put together. Served it with white rice, but no salad. I figured it had enough fruit and vegetables right in it. I think I will try adding some fresh garlic with the ginger next time I cook it and maybe try your suggestion of adding more curry paste. I was afraid 4 t. would be too much, but it wasn't at all. Thanks for this great recipe. I will be fixing it again.

    This one was a winner for the family and will be a regular at our house in the future. I used thighs instead of breasts, added a slightly different mix of vegetables and cooked it a bit longer (being thighs). This dish is quite sweet and gingery. For those who do not like too much sweetness or ginger, I would drop it down a bit. I used a mild korma curry paste and it was perfect for our family (we like mild dishes). Curiously the kids noted that the mango didn't match the dish although they enjoyed eating it. If you don't have any mango, don't let this stop you making this dish!
