This a perfect dish to make during the summer months, when mangoes are at their ripest. You get all of the flavors of the Caribbean in one dish. This recipe comes courtesy of Fresh from Florida (www.freshfromflorida.com).
Ingredients
2 Florida mangoes, diced small
3-4 Florida chicken breasts
1 bell pepper, diced small
3 tablespoons cilantro, chopped
1 lime, juiced
1 jar jerk marinade (your favorite)
Oil for cooking
Sea salt and fresh ground pepper, to taste
Directions
- Combine chicken and jerk marinade in storage container or sealable plastic bag and marinate for 4 to 8 hours.
- In a mixing bowl, combine diced mango, bell pepper, cilantro, and lime juice. Store in the refrigerator until ready to use.
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
- Remove chicken from refrigerator and preheat a large sauté pan to medium-high heat with 1 tablespoon oil.
- Wipe off excess marinade and place chicken in pan. Sear on both sides, transfer to an oven-safe dish, and finish cooking until an internal meat thermometer reads 165 degrees.
- Remove from oven, cover, and allow to rest for at least 10 minutes. Top with mango salsa or serve on the side.
Notes
