Its summertime in Florida (no pun intended) and the mango trees are full of juicy, ripe fruit. I tried many mango chicken recipes, but there were too many unnecessary ingredients or other fruit mixed with the mango. This is simple recipe where the juicy mango is the star. Enjoy!

How To Make mango chicken cutlets

  • 1
    Spray a large baking pan with pam and set aside. Season chicken cutlets on both sides with salt, pepper, onion powder and garlic powders. Lightly pound cutlets with a mallet to tenderize and pound in the seasonings.
  • 2
    Mix the Kitchen Bouquet and soy sauce together in a small bowl.
  • Chicken Cutlets Browning
    3
    Heat a small amount of olive oil in a large skillet. Add chicken cutlets to the hot skillet and brush both sides with the kitchen bouquet and soy sauce mixture. Brown cutlets well on both sides, but do not cook through. You may have to do this in small batches so you don't crowd the chicken so they can brown well. As they are browned, place them in a single layer in the prepared baking pan. Pour any liquid from the skillet onto the chicken. Pour any left over browning/soy mixture over the chicken as well.
  • Mango Onion Mixture
    4
    Cut the mangos into chunks and place in a mixing bowl. If the mangos are really juicy squeeze the excess juice from the skins and pit into the bowl as well. Chop the onion. Add chopped onion to the mangos and mix well.
  • Browned Chicken topped with mango and onion ready to bake.
    5
    Spread the mango/onion mixture over the browned chicken and spread evenly. Add the 1/2 cup of water to the pan. Don't pour it over the mangos, just add it to the sides. Sprinkle with Paprika if using. The paprika gives it a nice color. Bake in a 350 degree oven uncovered for 40-45 minutes. Remove from oven and serve over rice or noodles.
