Chicken Curry with a Mango Twist

With the arrival of spring, I’ve been jazzing it up in the kitchen with some exotic spices. To wit, the Moroccan Swordfish and now a savory Chicken Curry with a Mango Twist.  The secret is in the sauce and this one is made easy with two ingredients that I purchased at one of my still-favorite stores, Trader Joe’s. Your palate will delight in the complementary flavors of the sweet chutney, creamy coconut milk, and robust curry.

Chicken Curry

Chicken Curry with a Mango Twist

1 ½ pounds skinless, boneless chicken breast or thighs, cut into 1-inch pieces

2 tablespoons olive oil

red pepper flakes

½ onion, chopped

1 med. red pepper, chopped

2 garlic cloves, minced

2 tablespoons fresh grated ginger

1 tablespoon curry powder

½ teaspoon cumin

1 c. light coconut milk*

3 tablespoons mango chutney*

salt and pepper

cilantro for garnish (optional)

Serves 4

Heat one tablespoon olive oil in a large skillet over med-high heat. Sprinkle with red pepper flakes. Cook the chicken until lightly browned, stirring to cook evenly.

Remove chicken and set aside.

Add 1 tablespoon olive oil to pan. Add the onion and red pepper, sauté for 2 minutes. Add the garlic, cook for another 2 minutes, stirring. Add the curry and cumin, stir into the vegetables. Add the coconut milk and mango chutney, stirring to blend all ingredients. Bring to a simmer, lower heat, and cook for 5 minutes.

Serve immediately over brown or white basmati or jasmine rice.

Enjoy :-) And, leave a comment – I’d love to hear from  you !

* I buy these two items at Trader Joe’s, but they may be available at some supermarkets.
