This recipe is easy to make and can be prepared in under an hour. The sweetness of the mangoes complements the savory chicken and the rice adds a comforting texture to the dish.

Prep Time

The prep time for this recipe is about 20 minutes. You will need to chop the mangoes and vegetables, season the chicken, and start cooking the rice.

Cook Time

The cook time for this recipe is approximately 30 minutes. This includes cooking the chicken, sautéing the vegetables, and simmering the mango sauce.

Ingredients

  • 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cubed
  • 2 ripe mangoes, peeled and diced
  • 1 red bell pepper, diced
  • 1 onion, diced
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 cup uncooked long grain white rice
  • 2 cups water
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro (optional)

Equipment

  • Large skillet
  • Medium saucepan with lid
  • Cutting board
  • Sharp knife
  • Measuring spoons and cups
  • Wooden spoon

Method

  1. Season the chicken with cumin, paprika, salt, and pepper. Set aside.
  2. In a medium saucepan, bring the rice and water to a boil. Reduce heat to low and cover. Cook for 18-20 minutes or until the rice is tender and the water is absorbed.
  3. While the rice is cooking, heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken and cook until browned on all sides, about 5 minutes. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
  4. Add the red bell pepper and onion to the same skillet and cook until softened, about 5 minutes. Add the garlic and cook for an additional minute.
  5. Add the diced mangoes to the skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring frequently.
  6. Return the chicken to the skillet and stir to combine with the mango mixture. Simmer for 5-7 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through.
  7. Divide the cooked rice among four plates. Spoon the mango chicken mixture over the rice. Garnish with chopped cilantro, if desired.

Notes

This recipe can be customized to suit your taste preferences. If you like a spicier dish, add some red pepper flakes or hot sauce to the chicken while it's cooking. You can also use brown rice instead of white rice for a healthier option.
