So I love a little fruity to my chicken, its one of those things that has to be done juuuust right though. The sweet combo the mango paired with the onion and lime really adds a classic zing to the pallet–you dreaming of this savory dish days after you make it!
My littles ate this so fast which is SO nice to see when at this age they can be so darn picky! I love how the there isn’t any sugars in the meal to overcompensate for flavor but we are truly allowing the fruit to do its work in bringing the true sweetness to the dish.
Mangos are best found on sale though the summer months making this a fantastic and refreshing summer dish. However, its perfect anytime as our local grocery store was having a great sale on mangos here in the spring and we enjoyed this earlier on!
