This was a good recipe and fairly easy. We used chicken breasts as well and by boyfriend liked it so much he handed out the recipe the next day to someone at work.

This is a good recipe. It is easy to prepare and the leftovers are as good as the night before (if there are leftovers). I used chicken breast instead of chicken pieces, but that was the only change that was made.

Review for chicken only. I did not try the topping. The chicken itself came out tasting good and tender but just don't expect the mango flavor to come thru. The sauce was sweet and I poured it over the rice pilaf which was nice but no one would know it was mango after cooking for that long.

I altered the recipe based on the other comments. I used extra curry and vanilla yogurt (no plain at my grocery store!), and it was delicious. Also, I loved the idea of cutting up half the mango and putting it on top. We only made about 2 breasts, so next time I'm going to make more chicken and use two mangoes (one for the sauce, one for dicing on top). Love it!

Wow I don't know what I did wrong. The mango turned out mushy and tasteless. It was just bland; the chicken (I used thighs) didn't absorb any of the flavor.
