Mango Chicken

Everyday Food, January/February 2010

Ingredients

  • 1 large mango, peeled, pitted, and cut into 1/4-inch wedges
  • 8 chicken cutlets (about 1 3/4 pounds total)
  • 1 piece fresh ginger (1 inch), peeled and cut into matchsticks
  • 1/3 cup fresh cilantro leaves
  • 1 medium jalapeno, thinly sliced
  • Coarse salt and ground pepper
  • 2 tablespoons plus 2 teaspoons extra-virgin olive oil
  • Lime wedges, for serving

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Place mango wedges in center of four 18-inch-long pieces of parchment. Top with chicken, ginger, cilantro, and jalapeno. Season with salt and pepper and drizzle each with 2 teaspoons oil. Fold parchment into a twist or envelope shape.
  2. Place packets on a rimmed baking sheet and bake until packets are puffed up and chicken is cooked through, 18 to 20 minutes. Serve with lime wedges.

Cook's Note

Find parchment paper at the supermarket near the foil. For our recipes, make sure the roll is at least 13 inches wide. Do not use wax paper as a substitute -- it has meltable coating.

I'd love to hear your feedback and comments. I'd also love and suggestions to help me perfect my skills as I develop them. Have a question? I'll try to answer it for you right away.

The only think I ask is that negativity not be posted. You know that old saying your mother probably taught you? "If you don't have something nice to say, then don't say anything at all!"
