Best Mango Chicken Bean Rice Bake Recipes

15-MINUTE MANGO LIME CHICKEN WITH RICE AND BEANS

Steps:

• To the canister of a food processor fitted with the S-blade or high speed blender add the mango, about 4 tablespoons olive oil, lime juice, brown sugar, garlic, salt, pepper, optional cayenne pepper, and mix on high speed until smooth and emulsified. If necessary, add additional oil to get things moving in the food processor and until sauce comes together in a thick but pourable consistency. Taste and make any necessary seasoning adjustments if desired; set sauce aside.
• To a large skillet, add 2 tablespoons olive oil, chicken, season evenly with salt and pepper, and cook over medium-high heat for about 4 to 5 minutes, or until chicken is cooked through. Stir and flip intermittently to ensure even cooking.
• After chicken is cooked through, reduce the heat to medium-low, and evenly drizzle as much mango sauce as desired over the chicken (you may have extra that you can save for another use or discard or reserve for drizzling over food when serving), stir to coat evenly, and simmer gently for about 1 to 2 minutes.
• Remove the chicken from the skillet and evenly divide the chicken, rice, and beans between the serving bowls.
• Add additional mango sauce over the rice and beans or chicken, if desired. Garnish with cilantro and serve immediately. Recipe is best fresh but will keep airtight in the fridge for up to 5 days.

RICE & PEAS WITH MANGO CHICKEN

Steps:

• Make the rice and peas: heat 2 tbsp oil in a large frying pan, then fry onion for 5 mins. Add the garlic, then stir in the rice. Cook for 1 min more. Add the beans, pour in the stock and coconut milk and season well. Bring to the boil, cover, then simmer gently for 25-30 mins or until the rice is just cooked. Add the thyme and petit pois for the final 3 mins of cooking, then fluff up with a fork.
• Meanwhile, mix the mango chutney, lime zest and juice and remaining olive oil, then season well. Heat a griddle or frying pan, brush a little of the mix over the chicken breasts, then cook for 5 mins each side until charred and cooked through. Once done, set aside to rest for a few mins while you heat the rest of the mango mix in the pan. Serve the rice and peas with a chicken breast and spoonfuls of tangy mango sauce.
