Chili-Lime-Mango Chicken (Healthy), Gluten-Free, Spicy, Chicken Bowls, Grilled Chicken

 

You can’t go wrong with this Chili-Lime-Mango Chicken recipe. The sweetness from the mangoes, the heat from the chilies, the tartness from the lime add loads of flavors to this chicken recipe. Not only that, this is very healthy too. And, don’t forget, gluten-free as well. I used a little bit of wine in the marinade, but it’s totally optional.

This time I got a big box of really ripe, sweet and juicy mangoes from the local store. Getting sweet mangoes is actually a hit and miss, here in Northern California but this time, we got lucky with this box.

I made a few dishes using them. Try the eggless, gelatin free mango mousse recipe if you are in the mood for some easy desserts.  There are a few other options for using mangoes in savory, sweet or drinks:

Mango-Strawberry-Turmeric Smoothie

Stirred Mango Margarita

Lentil Soup (Dal) with Green Mango

The best part is I’m going to visit Amsterdam and India in 2 weeks and, I can’t wait to enjoy freshly picked ripe mangoes.

  • one ripe mango
  • lime Juice
  • few cilantro sprigs

  • Toppings to garnish – Chili, Cilantro

METHOD:

  • Marinate the chicken with this mixture for overnight or at least 4 to 5 hours

  15. I can imagine how lovely those flavors will be once they come together. I love instant pot recipes because they’re easy and you throw everything in one pot and that’s it. Easy peasy.

  24. This Chili-Lime-Mango Chicken recipe looks easy to make and delicious. I’d have to leave the chili out though, I’m not a fan of spicy food, I’m sure it’s still just as delicious though!
