Mango Chicken How You Like It!
It has been a while since I posted a recipe and a few people have asked why. The truth is I have a hard time getting into routine when there is a change. So when school started back up, I had to drudge through the change at my pace. It just is what it is and it is how I roll. I have learned to accept that about me and it has been very freeing! So now that I am back on track until the next season of life maybe you will be seeing more. Maybe not. Either way I am O.K. Know why? Because I am worthy and so are you!
So last night I made a recipe from a gal I follow and you really should too if you are looking for clean eating and healthy choices. I have been following Amber with Primal Mom for about three years now and I can honestly say she was one of the reason’s I changed a lot of our eating habits around here and she helped me on my weight loss journey along with my dance. So if you are intrigued at all you should look her up.
Last night’s recipe was so easy and I was able to literally appeal to all in the family while keeping it uber clean and healthy for me. I must admit I cheated with a chip or two in the mango salsa, but I am really not on a diet per say so I am a O.K. with that! I did a few things differently than Amber just because I have a house full of boys who eat me out of the house so I added flour and corn tortillas for those who wanted tacos, no tortillas for those who wanted a chipotle type bowl, and cheese for those who just can’t live without their cheese. Mainly the 7 year old! At least he did not put ranch on this so I consider that a win! Everyone was happy namely me with the way mine turned out so clean. So I highly suggest you giving this little easy quick recipe a whirl and seeing if your family enjoys it as much as mine did!
Delicious Chipolte type bowl! Look how pretty too!
Mango Chicken How You Like It
Ingredients:
8 Chicken Thighs-I got bone in (I did 8 to have left overs for busy nights, but you can do as little as 2)
1 Mango
3 garlic cloves or 2 Tablespoons of Jarred Crushed Garlic is what I used
1 Red Bell Pepper
1.5 to 2 Limes
8 Green Onions
1-2 Jalapeños depending on how much kick your family likes
Cilantro
Butter
Prep for the chicken:
Preheat oven to 375
Wash Your Thighs and pat them dry. Next put some butter, salt, and pepper on both sides. I use alot of butter. Probably 2-3 Tablespoons if not more.
Place in baking dish and bake at 375 for 45 minutes or until the skin is as brown as you like.
Prep for Mango Salsa while the chicken is baking:
Peel and chop the mango.
Chop the garlic or use the jarred garlic.
Chop the green onions.
Seed and chop the Jalapeño.
Chop the cilantro as much as your family likes. We like a lot. If you are one of those who just cannot stand the taste of cilantro maybe try 1-2 teaspoons of dried cilantro or none at all.
Place all of that in a bowl and squeeze your limes over it.
When Chicken is done plate or wrap it how you like it. I did one breast with salsa over the top. JP did a taco with the salsa and a side of rice. The rest of the family did bowls made with Rice, black beans, chicken, mango salsa and cheese. Well, Graeme may or may not have had the salsa, but we tried! So easy peasy and EVERYONE was happy for the most part! (Once we got the mango salsa off the little man’s bowl and the skin off his chicken everyone was happy!)
Try it and tell me how your family likes it and take a peek at Ambers site! Tell her I sent ya!
Bon Appetit!
