  • Total Time: 35 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb (450g) boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs, cut into bite-sized pieces
  • 2 ripe mangoes, peeled and pureed
  • 1 onion, finely chopped
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, grated
  • 1-2 red chili peppers, sliced (adjust to taste)
  • 1 can (14 oz) coconut milk
  • 2 tablespoons curry powder
  • 1 teaspoon turmeric powder
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil or coconut oil
  • Fresh cilantro for garnish

Instructions

  1. Start by seasoning the chicken pieces with a pinch of salt and pepper. In a large skillet or wok, heat 2 tablespoons of oil over medium-high heat. Add the chicken and cook until browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
  2. In the same skillet, add the chopped onion, minced garlic, and grated ginger. Sauté until the onion becomes translucent and fragrant, about 3-4 minutes.
  3. Stir in the curry powder, turmeric, and paprika. Cook for 1 minute to toast the spices. Then, add the mango puree along with coconut milk, stirring well to combine.
  4. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer. Return the cooked chicken to the skillet, stirring to coat with the sauce. Let it simmer uncovered for 10-15 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld and the sauce to thicken slightly.
  5. Check the seasoning and adjust with salt and pepper. Garnish with fresh cilantro before serving for a burst of freshness.

Notes

  • For extra flavor, add a splash of lime juice before serving.
  • If the sauce is too thick, stir in a little water or additional coconut milk.
  • Use ripe mangoes for the best sweetness and flavor.
  • This dish is best served immediately but can be stored in an airtight container for 2-3 days in the refrigerator.
