The king of fruits Mango is in full bloom now, thanks to the time of monsoons and our vast number of farmers who have been taking care of the trees for so long. I just love the fruit and always looking out to use it more and more in my recipes. Chicken is obviously another favorite of non-vegetarians in India, so I created this powerful combo using ripe mangoes and Chicken breast.
The sweet taste of mangoes goes very well with the boneless variety of chicken and can be enjoyed with plain white rice. I also used some of the sauces which are generally available in the market to give it a slight tilt towards a Chinese flavor. The dish came out pretty well and is a good variation to regular non-vegetarian cooking. You can call it aam chicken, but this Mango Chicken is really khaas. So go ahead and try this wonderful recipe to enjoy with your family in the summer weather!
