Ingredients

• 4 pieces Boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 1 teaspoon Black pepper
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 2 cups Fresh pineapple, diced
• 1 large Mango, diced
• 1 medium Red bell pepper, diced
• 1 cup Coconut milk
• 1 tablespoon Fresh ginger, grated
• 2 Garlic cloves, minced
• 2 tablespoons Fresh lime juice
• 2 tablespoons Chopped fresh cilantro
• 4 servings Cooked white or brown rice

Directions

Step 1

Season the chicken breasts on both sides with salt and black pepper.

Step 2

Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the chicken breasts and sear on each side for about 3-4 minutes, or until they are golden brown. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.

Step 3

In the same skillet, add the remaining tablespoon of olive oil. Add the grated ginger and minced garlic, cooking for 1 minute until fragrant.

Step 4

Add the diced pineapple, mango, and red bell pepper to the skillet. Stir and cook for 3-5 minutes until the fruits and vegetables soften slightly.

Step 5

Pour in the coconut milk, stir well, and bring to a simmer. Add the lime juice and mix again.

Step 6

Return the chicken breasts to the skillet, nestling them into the tropical sauce. Reduce the heat to low, cover, and let cook for 12-15 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through (internal temperature of 165°F/74°C).

Step 7

Sprinkle the chopped cilantro over the finished dish just before serving.

Step 8

Serve the tropical chicken over cooked white or brown rice for a complete meal. Enjoy!
