    How to Make Mango Chicken & Rice

    1. Cook Rice

    In a medium saucepan, combine the rinsed jasmine rice, water, and 1/2 teaspoon of the salt. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to low, cover, and cook for 20 minutes. Remove from heat and let it rest, still covered, for 20 minutes.

    2. Marinate Chicken

    In a bowl, combine the chicken chunks, sliced onion, mango puree, 2 tablespoons of neutral oil, 2 1/2 teaspoons of salt, and ground cayenne pepper. Let the chicken marinate for at least 1 hour.

    3. Broil Chicken

    Arrange the marinated chicken in a single layer on a sheet pan and broil on high for 10 to 12 minutes until the juices run clear.

    4. Finish Rice

    Gently mix the cooked rice with cubed mango, chopped scallions, cilantro, the remaining 1/2 teaspoon of salt, and 1 tablespoon of neutral oil.
