Chicken With Mango Barbecue Sauce

Submitted by Juenessa

"This recipe is easy to prepare, tastes great, and the flavors are so well blended! The sauce is tangy and sweet and reminds me of the Caribbean. The recipe calls for broiling the chicken, but you could also grill it."

I found this recipe in Ellie Krieger's cookbook, The Food You Crave, and decided to check and see if it was posted here. Here it is! This is a great recipe; easy to make and delicious to eat. I did take your suggestion and grilled the chicken on a grill pan, and it was great. Thank you for sharing!
