Charishma, thank you for such a fantastic recipe (finding the mango chutney took a bit of time, but it was well worth it)! I pounded the chicken fairly thin, and followed the recipe from there. (used a bit of apricot preserves, if you dont mind). We had lemon wild rice and a lovely chocolate mousse for dessert. Thank you again! Jill

Ah yes!! A lovely, easy, elegant dish. We had several fresh mangos in the house, and I had been saving the chutney for 'something special' to use it on. This was the perfect time to use it. I loved the green onions with the mangos and the chutney added just the right spices to boost the flavors. Charishma....we really liked this dish a lot. Served with Wild Rice and Raisin Salad. Thanks for sharing your recipe.

What a special dish! This recipe turned out so lovely and delicious. The chicken came out very moist and tender, with a very unique flavor. I loved the flavor of the mango sauce. All of the measurements proved very accurate. I covered the chicken while it cooked with the shallots & the peppers (it took about 8 minutes for the chicken to finish cooking for that step). The only change I made was the amount of butter - I reduced it to 2 tsp. and used a nonstick skillet, which I would do again. I served the chicken over steamed rice with a simple salad of fresh multicolored bell pepper strips with olives tossed in a vinaigrette dressing. (See photo)

My family really enjoyed this dish one night when they came to my house for dinner. I doubled the recipe and also made a few small changes. I didn't have any bouillon cubes, so I used liquid chicken stock instead of water. I also grated the ginger instead of chopping it as I don't like biting into small pieces of ginger, but I love the flavour it gives in a meal. My fiance pounded the chicken and cut it into small pieces which helped to make it really tender. They all loved it except for my brother's girlfriend (who is a fussy eater anyway), as she doesn't like fruit in her main meals. There were also leftovers which my fiance had for lunch the next day and he said it was even better than the night before. I also served this with rice.

I made a number of adjustments to this recipe, but it still turned out wonderful. First, I used apricot preserves in place of the mango chutney because I happened to have this on hand. I also used celery instead of the shallots (we have trouble with onion) and it was delicious. This is such an adaptable recipe.
