Mango
Salsa Chicken
“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.” Jasliine
Ingredients:
Chicken:
2 chicken
breasts
1/4 mango,
mashed
1 garlic,
minced
1/2 thumb
ginger, grated
1 bird's eye
chilli, snipped (omit if you don't like the heat)
1 tablespoon
soy sauce
Juice of 1
key lime
Salsa:
3/4 mango,
chopped
1/2 small red
onion, finely chopped
1 large
tomato, de-seeded and chopped
Juice of 1 to
2 key limes
Handful
cilantro leaves, roughly chopped
Preparation:
Chicken:
Rinse and pat
dry the chicken breasts with paper towel.
Using a sharp
knife, split the chicken breasts into half to get a total of 4 thin slices.
Alternatively,
cover them with a layer of baking parchment or cling film and pound them with a
mallet/rolling pin until they are of even thickness.
Combine the
chicken with the rest of the ingredients and leave it to marinade for a couple
of
hours, or overnight if desired.
Salsa:
While the
chicken is marinating, combine the mango, onion, tomato and juice of 1 lime
together.
Taste and add
more lime juice if desired.
Stir in
cilantro leaves.
Cover and
refrigerate for at least 1 hour for the flavors to mingle and get friendly.
Back to the
chicken:
Grill or
pan-fry the chicken until cooked (discard the marinade).
Serve with
salsa and rice.
Super
Naggy:
You can use
the normal lime instead of key lime. I will substitute the key limes with
Tahitian lime
if I don't have key limes on hand. Tahitian limes are bigger so
you will need lesser, but they are
equally fragrant.
When making
the salsa, do chop the onion a little bit smaller than you normally do as red
onion
is a bit spicier, but a lot more fragrant. You can substitute it with
yellow onion if you can't find red onion.
I'm not a
huge fan of Italian parsley, but I sure love coriander very much, so I added a
bit more
than a handful. If you don't like coriander, regular parsley will work
fine too.
