Description
This Pan-Seared Chicken with Tropical Mango-Lime Glaze is a vibrant and healthy Brazilian-inspired dish, perfect for a wellness journey. It features succulent chicken breast coated in a glossy, fruity glaze that is both satisfying and flavorful.
Ingredients
- 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (approx. 180 g / 6.3 oz each)
- 15 ml / 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 2 g / 0.5 teaspoon fine sea salt
- 1 g / 0.25 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 200 g / 1 large ripe mango, peeled and diced (about 1.5 cups)
- 60 ml / 0.25 cup fresh lime juice (from 2–3 limes)
- 30 ml / 2 tablespoons pure maple syrup
- 5 g / 1 teaspoon grated fresh ginger
- 3 g / 1 clove garlic, minced
- 1 g / 0.5 teaspoon red pepper flakes (or to taste)
- 15 ml / 1 tablespoon water (if needed for consistency)
- 15 g / 0.25 cup fresh cilantro, finely chopped
- 1 lime, cut into wedges, for garnish
Instructions
- Prep Your Chicken: Pat the chicken breasts dry thoroughly with paper towels. Season both sides evenly with fine sea salt and freshly ground black pepper.
- Sear the Chicken: Heat the olive oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the seasoned chicken breasts and sear for 5-7 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through (internal temperature reaches 74 degrees C / 165 degrees F). Remove chicken from the skillet and set aside on a plate, tented with foil, to rest.
- Prepare the Tropical Mango-Lime Glaze: While the chicken rests, in a blender, combine the diced ripe mango, fresh lime juice, pure maple syrup, grated fresh ginger, minced garlic, and red pepper flakes. Blend until completely smooth and a vibrant, uniform puree forms. If it looks too thick, add 15 ml / 1 tablespoon of water to achieve a pourable consistency.
- Simmer the Glaze: Pour the mango-lime puree into the same skillet over medium heat. Bring to a gentle simmer, then reduce the heat to low and cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the glaze thickens slightly and becomes glossy. It should be thick enough to coat the back of a spoon.
- Coat the Chicken: Return the rested chicken breasts to the skillet with the glaze. Turn to coat each piece thoroughly with the warm, glossy sauce. Cook for 1-2 minutes, just to warm the chicken through and ensure it’s beautifully coated.
- Plate and Garnish: Arrange a pan-seared chicken breast on a wide plate. Generously spoon the glossy Tropical Mango-Lime Glaze over the chicken. Sprinkle the finely chopped fresh cilantro liberally over the glazed chicken and the surrounding sauce. Place a fresh lime wedge strategically on the side of the plate for a pop of color and an invitation for more citrus.
Notes
To save time, use a food processor for chopping mango, ginger, and garlic. Pre-cooked chicken can be warmed and tossed with the finished glaze. Double the glaze recipe and freeze half for future use. Always taste and adjust seasonings to your preference.
