Mango Madness

Lately I guess you can say I have had the cooking bug. Here is another recipe that we just tried. It was super easy and ryan said it was the best thing we have had so far. (the chicken is a little spicy, but not too bad)

Spicy Mango Chicken

1/4 cup mango nectar
1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
2 jalapeno chil peppers, seeded and finely chopped
2 teaspoons vegetable oil
2 teaspoons Lawry's seasoned salt
1/4 teaspoon Lawry's Garlic Powder w/ Parsley
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
4 boneles, skinless chicken breast halves (1lb)

In small bowl, combine all ingredients except chicken; mix well. Brush marinade on both sides of chicken. Grill or broil chicken 10-15 mins or until no longer pink in center and juices run clear when cut, turning once and basting often with additoinal marinade. Do not bast during last 5 mins of cooking. Discard any remaining marinade. (makes 4 servings)

Mango & Black Bean Salsa

1 ripe mango, peeled, seeded and chopped
1 cup canned black beans, rinsed and drained
1/2 cup chopped tomato
2 thinly sliced green onions
1 TBS chopped fresh cilantro
1 1/2 tsp lime juice
1 1/2 tsp red wine vinegar
1/2 tsp Lawry's Seasoned Salt

Combine all ingredients in a bowl, mix well. Let stand for 30 mins to allow flavors to blend.

The Salsa is the key....it really adds some great flavor to the flavorful chicken.
