Mango Ginger Chicken is simple and tasty

Don here. I was looking for a summery marinade for chicken breast I’m grilling tonight. Paging through one of our Thai cook books, I found a recipe for Stir Fry Chicken and Mango. Not wanting to have a stir fry but being intrigued by the ingredients, I decided to create a marinade for our grilled chicken. This marinade was enough for 4 large boneless, skinless chicken breasts. The combination of the sweet mango, sesame oil, vinegar, lime and spices is super delicious.

It's an easy recipe, but plan about 2 hours to let it marinate. Or you can marinate it overnight and cook it the next day if you prefer. Try the marinade on fish or pork also. It is quite versatile.

What You Need

For this recipe, you will need a knife, cutting board, microplane grater, measuring cups and spoons, a flat casserole dish, skillet, and either an outdoor grill or an indoor grill. Get yourself the best tools you can afford and you'll never be sorry.
