{Easy Meal}

Ready for a quick, easy, delicious meal?
Here it is -
Mango Chicken [it even sounds exotic....]

Ok seriously - I had 40 min today to get dinner ready and I was thinking about doing umm... quesadillas or sandwiches or nachos or canned soup. Sad. But then I remembered we had some mangoes in the fridge from making mango sticky rice [which is another recipe which I will post soon which you all should make...] so I searched the internet for mango chicken.
Thousands of results.
I read over the first few and then just kinda winged it.

Here's what you do. [apologize for no measurements....I just dump and chuck]

-Cut boneless skinless chicken into bite sized cubes and throw in a pan of hot oil until they are browned.
-Drain the fat
-Add soy sauce - enough to coat all the chicken but they should NOT be swimming in it [remember, you can always add more later, but you can't take any away - start small]
- add some minced garlic cloves [we have this magical bottle from Costco of minced garlic that we keep in the fridge - LOVE IT!]
-Cover, reduce heat, and let it sit until the meat gets tender
-Next add slices of mango to it and let it sit covered for about 10 minutes.
-Serve over Jasmine Rice and BAM! delicious dinner in no time. [you can use white rice, but as I said earlier, jasmine rice is just better tasting...especially with asian-ish foods]

Seriously easy. Seriously delicious.

It would have been nice of me to take pictures of it I guess to inspire you to make it, but I just ate it up too fast and then packed away the leftovers for lunches this week. Too bad - you'll just have to trust me.

  1. We're going to try that recipe! Yum! PLEASE e-mail me your mango sticky rice recipe. We love it and buy it when we go out to dinner. Would be fun to have at home.
