Mary Berry’s Five Spice Mango Chicken – Serves 4

Light & fresh, this fruity chicken dish is perfect for dinner any night of the week! The secret ingredient to really make this recipe special is Peppadew peppers – The sweet Piquanté Peppers  are just as sharp in taste as the hot variety but are milder in flavour, meaning you can enjoy the same great taste without that fiery sensation (unless of course you like it hot!).

Ingredients

1 large mango, roughly chopped
6 mild Peppadew peppers from a jar
3 tablespoons mango chutney
100g (4oz) full fat Greek yoghurt
2 teaspoons Chinese five spice powder
2 teaspoons flour
Juice of ½ a lemon
Salt and pepper

4 chicken breasts, skinless and boneless
About 1 tablespoon sunflower oil
1 tablespoon honey

To Decorate
2 mild peppadew peppers, sliced thinly
Fresh parsley, chopped

Method

1. Cut the mango in half lengthways, either side of the stone. Peel the fruit and cut into manageable sized pieces.

2. Measure half the mango pieces into a processor, choosing the less even pieces. Add peppers, mango chutney, yoghurt, five spice powder, flour and lemon juice and whiz until fairly smooth. Season with salt and pepper.

3. Cut the chicken breasts into pencil thin strips and season with salt and pepper. Heat a large non stick frying pan over a high heat. Add oil and chicken, spread evenly around the pan and pour over the honey. Fry briskly over a high heat for about 2-3 minutes until browned, and just cooked (if you have a small frying pan you will need to do this in two batches).

4. Pour the mango sauce over the chicken in the pan and stir until sauce has thickened and bubbling. Stir in the reserved fresh mango. Check seasoning, turn into serving dish and top with sliced red peppers.

5. Serve with boiled rice and rice.
