Ingredients
Scale
Main Protein:
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
Sauce and Seasoning:
- 1 cup (240 milliliters) mango chutney
- 1/4 cup (60 milliliters) soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon minced garlic
- 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes
Cooking Ingredients:
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- Salt to taste
- Pepper to taste
Instructions
- Sprinkle salt and pepper generously over chicken breasts to enhance flavor and seasoning.
- Create a vibrant marinade by whisking mango chutney, soy sauce, minced garlic, and red pepper flakes in a mixing bowl until well combined.
- Warm olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat, ensuring even surface temperature.
- Carefully place seasoned chicken breasts into the hot skillet, allowing each side to develop a golden-brown crust, approximately 3-4 minutes per side.
- Gently cascade the prepared mango chutney mixture over the chicken, coating each piece evenly with the glossy sauce.
- Reduce heat to low, cover the skillet with a tight-fitting lid, and allow chicken to simmer for 15-20 minutes, ensuring internal temperature reaches 165°F.
- Transfer chicken to serving plates, spooning any remaining sauce from the skillet over the top for maximum flavor infusion.
- Garnish with fresh chopped herbs or sliced green onions if desired, and serve immediately while hot.
Notes
- Choose ripe, sweet mangoes for the most flavorful chutney, ensuring a perfect balance of sweetness and tang in the dish.
- Adjust red pepper flakes to control spice level, making it mild for kids or extra hot for spice lovers.
- Marinate chicken for 30 minutes before cooking to enhance deeper flavor absorption and tenderness.
- Transform this recipe into a gluten-free option by using tamari instead of traditional soy sauce.
