This weeks CEiMB is Chicken with Mango Barbecue Sauce and was chosen by Aggie of Aggie’s Kitchen.

I considered skipping out on this one since Nick and I both don’t love mangoes. However, I decided to suck it up and try something I would not normally make. The verdict: We both enjoyed this barbecue sauce. It definitely gives a nice kick to an otherwise boring chicken breast. I made this with chicken tenders and grilled them on the stove top. I served the chicken with oven roasted potatoes and roasted asparagus.

I did notice a difference between the recipe that is here on the Food Network and the recipe in The Food You Crave: Luscious Recipes for a Healthy Life. In the book it says to pound out boneless chicken breasts to 1/2 inch thick and cook them on stove top. The online recipe says to cook the boneless chicken breasts under the broiler. I am not a fan of broiling chicken, because I am always worried that it will burn on the outside and be raw on the inside. So I went with the stove top method.

Overall, I was pleased with this dinner. I don’t know that I would make this sauce again, but I am glad I tried it because it taught me that I don’t dislike mangoes as much as I thought I did.
