Ingredients

one large or extra-large fresh mango, peeled and diced into chunks or about 1 cup frozen mango, thawed and drained
about 6 tablespoons olive oil, divided or as needed
2 to 3 tablespoons lime juice
1 tablespoon light brown sugar, packed
1 or 2 cloves garlic, peeled
1 teaspoon kosher salt, or to taste
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper, or to taste
pinch cayenne pepper, optional and to taste
1 to 1.25 pounds boneless skinless chicken breast, diced into bite sized pieces
salt and pepper for seasoning chicken
one 8.8-ounce package precooked rice
one 15-ounce can black beans, drained and rinsed (I used low-salt)
fresh cilantro, for garnishing

Steps:

To the canister of a food processor fitted with the S-blade or high speed blender add the mango, about 4 tablespoons olive oil, lime juice, brown sugar, garlic, salt, pepper, optional cayenne pepper, and mix on high speed until smooth and emulsified. If necessary, add additional oil to get things moving in the food processor and until sauce comes together in a thick but pourable consistency. Taste and make any necessary seasoning adjustments if desired; set sauce aside.
To a large skillet, add 2 tablespoons olive oil, chicken, season evenly with salt and pepper, and cook over medium-high heat for about 4 to 5 minutes, or until chicken is cooked through. Stir and flip intermittently to ensure even cooking.
After chicken is cooked through, reduce the heat to medium-low, and evenly drizzle as much mango sauce as desired over the chicken (you may have extra that you can save for another use or discard or reserve for drizzling over food when serving), stir to coat evenly, and simmer gently for about 1 to 2 minutes.
Remove the chicken from the skillet and evenly divide the chicken, rice, and beans between the serving bowls.
Add additional mango sauce over the rice and beans or chicken, if desired. Garnish with cilantro and serve immediately. Recipe is best fresh but will keep airtight in the fridge for up to 5 days.

Ingredients

6 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
1 tablespoon chile powder
Zest and juice of 1 lime
1/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons olive oil
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
One 20-ounce jar sliced mango, drained and finely sliced, some of the liquid reserved
1 bunch kale, thinly shredded
1 bunch scallions, thinly sliced
1 jalapeno, thinly sliced
1 orange or red bell pepper, very thinly sliced
2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro

Steps:

Put the chicken breasts in a resealable plastic bag and add the chile powder, lime zest, 2 tablespoons of the olive oil and some salt and pepper. Seal the bag and shake to coat. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes and up to 4 hours.
Heat a grill pan over medium-high heat. Remove the chicken from the bag and let any excess marinade drip off. Grill the chicken breasts until cooked through, 4 to 5 minutes per side. Keep warm.
Put the mango, kale, scallions, jalapeno and bell pepper in a large bowl. Whisk together the lime juice, chopped cilantro, 2 tablespoons of the reserved mango liquid, the remaining 1/4 cup olive oil and salt and pepper to taste in a small bowl.

Tips:

Utilize a sharp knife: Dicing the mangoes and slicing the chicken breasts demand the use of a sharp knife. This ensures clean cuts, which bring out the best flavors and textures in the dish.
Temperature check: Use a meat thermometer to accurately measure the internal temperature of the chicken breasts. Aim for an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) to ensure they are cooked thoroughly and safely.
Enhance flavors with zesty lime: Lime juice and zest impart a refreshing and zesty flavor to the chicken and complement the sweetness of the mangoes. Don't shy away from using both for an explosion of citrusy goodness.
Don't overcrowd the pan: When searing the chicken breasts in the skillet, avoid overcrowding the pan. This ensures that they cook evenly and get a nice golden-brown crust.
Perfect balance of heat and sweetness: The combination of honey and crushed red pepper flakes creates a perfect balance of heat and sweetness. Adjust the amounts to suit your preferred level of spiciness.
