I will be the first to review this but I guarantee, not the last! This recipie was so fantastic!! It was such an exciting and flavorful meal to eat!! My kids loved it!! I used a whole can of coconut milk and the juice of two limes in the beans, made rice and we ate it all together- YUM YUM. I will say that this is something you should prep well before cooking b/c everything gets thrown together quickly and to me, mango is a pain to cut up .. maybe I will try the canned mango next time! All in all a definate keeper!! Oh also - these directions say to transfer the chicken to a bowl but don't tell you what to do with the broth.. I left it in the skillet to add with the milk and it came out perfect!
