It's been humid, rainy, and in the 90's here in the Carolina's. I created this dish with the sole thought of something light and quick. This dish is really good!
(I will be honest and tell you that as I was cutting up the mango it smelled so good that I ate almost half of it. Oh, was it sweet, juicy and delicious! The dish turned out great despite using 1/2 of the mango, however a whole mango would have pushed "Great" to "Superb").
Mango Chicken
Total Time: 30 minutes
3 lbs. chicken breast (chopped in small pieces)
1 packet of Sazon Goya unique seasoning mix (Con Culantro Y Achiote-coriander & Annatto) This can be found in most super markets in the ethnic section-Super Walmart, Food Lion, Harris Teeters, Piggly Wiggly
1 tsp Lawry's seasoned salt
1/2 tsp. black pepper
2 Tbsp olive oil
2 Tbsp. Smart Balance Margarine
1 onion, sliced
1 clove garlic, minced
1-8oz. pkg. sliced mushrooms
1/3 cup soy sauce
1/2 fresh lime
1 mango, peeled and sliced or chopped
bunch of green scallions-(just the green part); chopped (optional)
1). Combine the packet of Sazon Goya seasoning mix, Lawry's seasoning salt & pepper in a small bowl. Season cut up chicken breast with this mixture. Set aside.
2). Heat oil & margarine in a large skillet over medium heat.Add onion, garlic and mushrooms. Saute' for 5 minutes. Remove onion,garlic & mushrooms (place in a dish) leaving oil/margarine and juices in skillet.
3). Saute' seasoned chicken pieces in skillet for 5 minutes. Add soy sauce and juice from 1/2 lime. Stir well and cook until mixture is almost all absorbed-approximately another 5 minutes.

*Rice: For the "Rice Challenged": Use Uncle Ben's microwave fully cooked rice.
Stove top rice: I start the rice prior to seasoning chicken.
Rule of thumb: 1 cup rice to 1 & 1/2 cups water
Use a long grain rice. I Love Jasmine rice.
1). Rinse rice well.
2). Bring rice to a boil-High heat (leave uncovered)
3). Reduce heat to medium low and place lid on leaving lid slightly ajar(tilted) so that air can escape- cook for about 15 minutes.
4). Place lid on tight & cook additional 10 minutes
5). Fluff with fork
Enjoy!
