Chicken Breasts with Mango Salsa

This is actually MY recipe! Woohoo, I made one myself! I did look at a few mango salsa recipes and get an idea of what flavors would go well together but in the end I just made up my own and threw things together.

I started with throwing in a bowl:
  • One mango, peeled and diced
  • about 1/3cup diced red onion
  • 1/4cup chopped cilantro
  • 2 green onions 
  • 1/4 cup lime juice
  • 1tbls honey
  • salt and pepper
  • dash of red pepper flakes
  • red bell peppers (roasted if you have time)
I took 3 6ounce chicken breasts and threw them in the bowl for about 3 hours. (Actually my husband defrosted the chicken breasts and put them in the marinade while I was at work. He's awesome!)

When I got home I preheated the oven to 400F and lined a cookie sheet with non-stick foil. I placed the chicken on the foil and topped it with the salsa.

I also put about 2cups of large pieces of broccoli  crowns, drizzled with a bit of oil, kosher salt and pepper.

 I baked it all for 30 mins (or until the tips of the broccoli crowns are starting to brown and the chicken is cooked through).

On the broccoli I added about 1/4 lemon juice, and 1/2 tbls Kosher salt. 

I intended to serve this with Basmati rice except that my rice cooker punked out on me (again) and turned back to warm really early. Stupid thing. So now it will be dessert. I think I will make it a little more "Desserty" and top it with a little vanilla soy, splenda, and and cinnamon. Should be good!

Sorry, no pictures, I was too hungry to worry about taking pictures! Next time I hope!

Enjoy!
