CEiMB - Chicken with Mango Barbecue Sauce

Aggie at Aggie's Kitchen hosted our Craving Ellie group this week and chose Chicken with Mango Barbecue Sauce. I love Aggie's blog. Check it out and see what she did with this recipe.

I was very excited about making this recipe. Always makes a recipe more a favorite of mine if it is a quicky and this one was.

I thought my mango was not ripe enough because it was a bit hard to peel. But it tasted delicious. You all know about mangoes right? The fruit is known for its aphrodisiac qualities. I don't know about that, but I know I love the taste.

Once you blend up the sauce, you marinate your chicken in it. Then grill it.

I pounded my chicken breasts flat so they cooked up in no time. Maybe about five minutes on each side. I have to say I may have gone a bit overboard with the jalapenos. The sauce was hot. As you can see below, I had to have reinforcement. A drink to follow the hot.

And someone burned the edges of the chicken just a bit, but it was oh so tasty anyway!

This is one of my favorite recipes in Ellie's book so far. Thank you Aggie for choosing it! I give it five stars out of five!!

Recipe:

Ingredients
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 onion, diced (about 1 cup)
1 red pepper, diced (about 1 cup)
3 cloves garlic, coarsely chopped
1 teaspoon salt
Freshly ground black pepper
1/2 teaspoon ground allspice
1/3 cup red wine vinegar
3 tablespoons molasses
2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
2 tablespoons lime juice
1/4 cup low-sodium tomato sauce
1 mango, diced (about 1 1/2 cups)
2 to 3 jalapenos, minced
2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 3/4 pound each)
Directions
Heat the oil in a medium-sized skillet over medium-high. Add the onions and cook until translucent, about 2 minutes. Add the red peppers, garlic, salt and pepper, and allspice and cook for 2 minutes more. Stir in the vinegar, molasses, Worcestershire sauce, lime juice and tomato sauce and cook for 1 minute more. Transfer the mixture into a bender and add the mango and jalapeno. Blend until smooth.
Put 1 cup of the barbeque sauce into a sealable plastic bag with the chicken and marinate for 1 hour.
Preheat the broiler. Put the chicken on a broiler pan and discard the marinade. Broil the chicken on high for about 12 minutes, turning once. Let the meat rest for 10 minutes before slicing. Spoon about 1/2 cup of barbeque sauce over the meat slices and serve.
