Mango Chicken
This Mango Chicken recipe is sensationally delicious, ridiculously quick and easy and destined to become a family favorite! Juicy chopped chicken is sautéed with aromatic red curry paste then enveloped in an EASY, coconut-mango blender sauce spiked with ginger, garlic, basil and lime juice for a lusciously creamy, fragrant symphony of YUM. I’ve made this mango chicken recipe with bell peppers and zucchini but you can use whatever veggies you love or have on hand. Serve this mango chicken over rice, cauliflower rice, zoodles, etc. loaded with sweet and juicy mangos and prepare yourself for the barrage of compliments. If you’re feeling extra fancy, serve with chicken satay and Tom Kha Gai for a complete Thai feast! This mango chicken curry also reheats beautifully so it’s fantastic for make ahead meals and meal prep.
