I was talking to my sister the other day (mother of 5 kids, my kidney donor, I share more about her awesomeness here) who loves to cook but said these last two weeks of school are just as busy or even busier than December so quick and easy meals are a must. So I am so excited to share this 30 minute Chicken in Coconut Mango Verde Sauce that is super quick and easy without sacrificing any flavor! This celebration of flavor starts with a quick stir frying of thinly sliced chicken breasts. I first used thinly sliced chicken in my all time favorite Panang Curry, and love this cooking method! (and btw, made my Panang Curry last week for my little brother and his fiance – SO GOOD! you have to make it if you love Thai food!) The chicken remains so tender and soaks up all the flavor of the sauce so there is no need to marinate the chicken beforehand. I recommend slicing your chicken breasts when they are partially frozen – so much easier. You could even prep your chicken and your veggies beforehand if you want then this meal really would take minutes to throw together! After you stir fry your chicken for a few minutes, then you add in your bell peppers and stir fry for a minute more then comes the smothering in the most intoxicatingly delicious Coconut Mango Verde Sauce. I am obsessed with mangos and have been wanting to make a coconut mango sauce for a while, but instead of taking the traditional route and combining it with red curry paste, I blended it with Salsa Verde Sauce instead – sheer dreamy, creamy addictiveness. And if you are intimidated by cutting mangos – do’t be, just check out my How to Cut A Mango Post that teaches everything you could ever want to know about mangos! So while this dish might appear Thai with the thinly sliced chicken and veggies and the coconut milk, it has more of a Mexican taste with the addition of the salsa verde, cumin, chili powder, smoked paprika and jalapeno to the mega creamy, sweet, tangy, spicy as you want, can’t-stop-eating-sauce that I am giddy for you to try. And love. And make. Often. 30 Minute Chicken in Coconut Mango Verde Sauce. Quite possibly the dreamiest meal to come out of your kitchen in 30 minutes!
