Mango Chicken

Sassy Sandra's Note:

This is an old "Canadian Living" Recipe that has become a family favourite. We all love it, and sometimes I increase the amount of curry paste, depending on who is coming for supper! I normally make it with a pot of rice and a salad. It's a nice "different" dish when you have company. Everyone seems to love it!

I didn't add any sugar, since the mangoes are very sweet by themselves. It was a very good recipe! Next time I will add some serrano peppers to increase the heat. Thank you for sharing this. I will definitely make it again.

Excellent recipe! It will become one of our gourmet favourites at our home. I made with one of our large local Aussie mangoes right off the tree and it was suburb. Any more of these treasures Susan?
