Everyone needs a super flavorful easy dinner recipe, like coconut mango chicken, that can be made in less than 30 minutes. Add this to your list of good chicken recipes that you know everyone will love.
Coconut mango chicken is a simple skillet chicken recipe that makes great use of canned food items that are essential for a well stocked pantry. Using a combination of canned items and few fresh items, you can create a fabulously tasty dinner recipe in less than 30 minutes.
Cooking with canned foods has so many benefits from nutrition to saving you time in the kitchen (one of my favorites is one pot queso pasta). A few great points to remember are:
- Canned food help cut down on prep time saving you time in the kitchen
- Kids and adults who use six or more canned foods per week are more likely to have diets higher in 17 essential nutrients, including potassium, calcium and fiber
- Fresh fruits and vegetables are harvested at the peak of freshness and then canned within only 4 hours to seal in nutrition and flavor
- A well stocked pantry helps you serve up the recommended 42 cups of fruit and 53 cups of vegetables a family of four needs every week
- Canned foods help provide year-round access to seasonal fruits and vegetables
- Canned foods help reduce waste by limiting how much fresh produce gets purchased and thrown away because it goes unused
My family loves chicken so finding good chicken recipes is always essential to keeping my family enjoying our family dinners. But, when I am pressed for time, I turn to skillet chicken recipes that incorporate a host of canned fruits, vegetables and meats to make the recipes come together in a snap.
For this coconut mango chicken recipe, I combine canned chicken, beans, tomatoes, mango and coconut milk with the delicious flavors of curry and chili powder. The coconut milk offers a great creaminess to the recipe and helps temper the spice a little too.
The result is a flavorful dish that everyone will be begging you to make week after week for dinner. Add some cashews and cilantro on top and you have a restaurant worthy dish made right in your kitchen.
