Mango Curry Chicken


I really like this recipe with a sweet, simple flavor, but Jared can never get enough pepper. So, depending on your tastes, the bell pepper and paprika in this recipe are optional.

1 lb chicken breasts, cut into 1" cubes*
1 ripe mango, cubed
1/2 cup light vanilla soy milk
1/4 cup chopped green onion
1/4 cup chopped cilantro
1 Tbs curry powder
1 tsp paprika (optional)
1/3 cup chopped red bell pepper (optional)
salt and pepper to taste
4 cups brown rice, cooked*

*Instead of a meal, this can also be prepared as a sauce with whole chicken breasts.

To prepare as a meal:
In a large frying pan, on medium high heat, lightly brown the cubed chicken. Add in soy milk, green onion, pepper, and curry powder, stirring all ingredients together. When the mixture reaches a light boil, add in mango and cilantro, and turn down to low heat. Simmer for 5 - 10 minutes, stirring occasionally. Serve on top of rice.

To prepare with chicken only:
Brown chicken breasts on high heat (center should still be pink, but this will keep the chicken moist through the rest of cooking). In a frying pan, on medium high heat, add together all ingredients, stirring frequently as it comes to a light boil. Turn heat down to low and add chicken breasts to the pan. Cover and simmer for 5 mintues. Flip chicken breasts, cover, and simmer for an additional 5 minutes, or until chicken is cooked through.

Makes 4 servings.
