Thai Mango Chicken

Thai Mango Chicken

This is a very tasty dish. The mango sauce is a perfect balance of sweet, sour, spicy, and salty flavors. This balance is really the key to this meal. I will definitely be making this again.

Ingredients:
2 ripe mangos (peeled, seeded)
1 tablespoon chili sauce (sambal oelek) or to taste
1 tablespoon rice vinegar
3 tablespoons soy sauce
2 tablespoons fish sauce
1/2 lime (juice)
1 tablespoon brown sugar
1 thumb ginger (grated)
3 cloves garlic (chopped)
1 handful cilantro (chopped)
1 tablespoon oil
1 pound chicken breast (sliced into bite sized pieces)
1 red bell pepper (sliced)
1 yellow bell pepper (sliced)
1 handful cashews


Directions:
1. Mix the mangos, chili sauce, vinegar, soy sauce, fish sauce, lime juice, brown sugar, ginger, garlic and cilantro in a food processor.

2. Taste the mango sauce and make sure that there is a balance of sweet, sour, spicy and salty.

3. Heat the oil in a pan.

4. Add the chicken and saute until cooked.

5. Add the mango sauce and peppers and simmer until the peppers are tender.

6. Remove from heat and serve on rice or pasta topped with cashews.
