![]() I top this chicken with the tastiest, juiciest mango salsa, made without spicy peppers or tomatoes to be AIP-compliant. If you prefer to prep the chicken in advance, the chicken can marinade for up to overnight in the refrigerator. I marinate the chicken in this marinade for a half hour-just enough time to prepare the mango salsa. To make this chicken, I make a quick and easy marinade combining ground cumin, ground coriander, fresh garlic, salt, and olive oil. This AIP-friendly Mexican chicken has all the smoky flavors of Mexican dishes without the nightshade peppers. If you’re following the AIP protocol diet, you might have been avoiding Mexican dishes because spicy peppers are used as a seasoning in most Mexican dishes. This Mexican chicken is gluten-free and suitable for the AIP and Paleo diets. The chicken can be pan-fried or grilled, and the whole recipe is really easy to prepare. I served this dish with some fried rice – the recipe ain’t perfect yet so I’m not sharing – but you can also just have the chicken with the salsa or just plain white rice.This Mexican Chicken with Mango Salsa and Avocado will have your taste buds dancing! Flavorful, juicy chicken breast that has a Mexican-inspired flavor but made AIP-friendly without using any peppers is topped with fruity, delicious mango salsa and served with creamy avocado. Place in the refrigerator, covered, for at least 1 hour.ġ5) Pan-fry/grill the chicken till cooked through. I decided to add more onion for more crunch. I hope I’m making you all hungry enough to go cook this dish!Ĥ) Alternatively, pound the chicken breasts until they are of even thickness.ĥ) Grate a ginger, a little garlic and snip in a chilli padiħ) Add in the mangoes (I decided to mash the mangoes later on).ĩ) For the salsa, chop some tomato and mango.ġ4) Give it a toss and adjust the seasonings. ![]() The bite of the raw red onion, the fragrant and crunch of coriander, the sweetness and juiciness of the mango and tomato and the tang from the lime all combined together into one very delicious concoction. This salsa, though I modified the recipe a little as I don’t have some of the ingredients, is every bit AMAZING. What brings this dish up a notch is definitely the mango salsa. The resulting chicken does not have a very pronounced mango flavour, probably because I used a bit too much ginger and the lack of the grilling sauce, but it was still pretty tender, juicy and gingery. (Another exception is when the chicken breast is served with a sauce, like this very yummy pan-fried chicken breast with mushrooms.) I also added a bit of soy sauce to colour the chicken as well as to enhance the marinade. I usually won’t use chicken breast in a dish as a main course as it’s pretty dry and tough, however, I know the lime juice and ginger will help tenderize the meat so I still sticked with it. There are 3 components in Bobbi’s recipe, the marinade, grilling sauce and the salsa, but I omitted the grilling sauce because I really can’t bear with the thought of using any more mangoes in the dish – I was dying to eat the fruit as it is, plus I was lazy (okay lazy was the real reason…) If not for the fact that they are pretty heaty, I would love to eat them everyday! These bright, yellow, lovely fruits are sweet, sticky and juicy. Mangoes, especially Thai mangoes, are one of our favourite fruits. When Bobbi posted her Tropical Spa Mango Chicken recipe recently, I was intrigued. I’ve seen Korean, Chinese, Western, Italian and Thai dishes being featured on her blog, all look mouthwatering delicious! She also revamped her site recently, and I LOVE her search page – I can search ingredients, difficulty levels, cuisine type… very useful! Bobbi creates all these amazing international dishes that her kids all love. Today’s recipe is adapted from Bobbi, from Bam’s Kitchen. (Don’t worry, I’ll be posting something sweet on the next recipe post!) Since it’s a lot easier to scale cooking recipes down for 2-4 people than baking recipes, I’ve been cooking a lot more these days – which proved to be really fun, interesting and tasty. ![]() As I’m not in office most of the time, I can’t bring the baked goods to office and share the fats goodness with my colleagues. I would love to bake desserts every week (in fact I would love to bake almost everyday), but the butter, sugar and the occasional chocolate are contributing to the disappearance of my waist (thankfully it’s still here).
