Macadamia-Mango Chicken - esgunn - 06-16-2009

This is a very tasty meal, versitile. The chicken with the marinade and just the mustard sauce is really good. But with the salsa just fantastic. Kind of a funny combination but it all works. I have used chicken breasts and boneless/skinless thighs. Both are good. The mustard sauce is good drizzled on vegies and hubby finished it up this morning with various leftover meats dipped in it !

Re: Macadamia-Mango Chicken - Gourmet_Mom - 06-16-2009

Sounds yummy Erin. Thanks for sharing this one. If this is anything like the last one you shared from a triplet mom (the Pasta Cobb Salad, I think), it's bound to be a winner.


Re: Macadamia-Mango Chicken - cjs - 06-16-2009

"Pasta Cobb Salad" - off to do a search, that doesn't sound familiar, but, with my memory.....

It's good to have you around during the week, Daphne - Hurry up and retire!!!!


Re: Macadamia-Mango Chicken - Gourmet_Mom - 06-16-2009

Jean, that is one of William's favorites. I bet Roy will love it, too. It's got blue cheese in it! Here's the recipe in case you don't find it.

You should have seen the mangoes I saw in the market, this morning. They had to be at LEAST a pound each - maybe two. I'll have to see if I can find any macadamias here. If not, I'll have to use cashews, instead. Sure sounds like a winner!


Re: Macadamia-Mango Chicken - Cubangirl - 06-16-2009

Thanks for the recipe. How long ahead can the mango salsa be prepared and how long will it keep if there is some left? Thanks.


Re: Macadamia-Mango Chicken - esgunn - 06-16-2009

Rob, the cashews were very good with it.

Oh I'm jealous of the mangos - we all love mangos


Re: Macadamia-Mango Chicken - esgunn - 06-16-2009

I don't have a good answere for you. I made it about 2 hours ahead last night, and it was starting to get pretty juicy - but it was still very good and all was still firm. I have some left over, but haven't tried it today. I'll let you know how it has held up.

I hope everyone enjoys it - it is a great summer meal.
