Eating Out In

Here is a delicious recipe i made today. I call it 'Chicken With Orange Mango Sauce' . This recipe is more for you moms and dads or for others wanting to try something new. It's very easy to make and light on the hips. A great meal to eat after the kids have gone to bed or serve it at your next party. Who said you can't eat out in? Oh, did i forget to mention this is not a kid friendly meal. Here is what you'll need:

4 boneless chicken breasts (cut into small pieces)
4 tbls olive oil
1/2 cup chopped onions
4 oz spinach
1 tbls minced garlic
1 1/2 cup orange mango juice
3 tbls red wine
season salt
black pepper
1 cup chopped carrots
1/2 cup chopped red bell pepper
1/2 cup chopped green bell pepper
1 tbls agave
2 tbls gravy flour


1. Season chicken with salt and pepper. Set aside.
2. In a large skillet over med-heat saute the onions in olive oil for about 3 minutes. Add garlic and mix well.
2. Add the peppers, carrots and spinach and saute for 5 minutes. Add the chicken and brown it on all sides or until you see no red.
3. Add the orange mango juice, red wine and cook for about 10-15 minutes. In the meantime add a little water to the gravy flour in a small bowl and mix into a paste.
4. Add the gravy flour paste and agave to the chicken. Mix well. Lower heat, cover and let chicken continue to cook for 20-25 minutes more or until well done.

Note: Serve over cooked rice, couscous or pasta. Serves 4


I would love to hear from you:)
