Sweet And Spicy Mango Chicken

Spicy mango chicken A quick and easy meal to throw together. For the sweet chilli sauce I use a brand that is quite spicy so it gives it a nice kick. You may want to adjust the amount listed if your brand is more on the sweet side. You can also use your favourite sweet chilli brand and just add some sriracha or other spicy chilli to make it more spicy if you like more spice than sweet like me. I served mine over stir fried vegetables for a lower carb meal, but it would also be great with vegetable noodles or fried rice.

Slow Cooker Chili
I have been cooking up a storm this weekend as I have started a new recipe swap again this month so I have been making lots of yummy recipes from my team mates. I still have quite a few more of my own recipes to post that I made over the Easter holidays and I will be posting the rest soon. I thought for now I would share some of these other recipes with you as they really good. This first one is so easy to make, as you can just throw it all together and then just leave it to cook. My hubby is the chili lover in our family so whenever I try a new recipe I always rate according to what he says. He loved this one and I found it very good it had just the right amount of heat and was totally delicious. I am the first to rate this one and made as is including adding the jalapeno pepper and I loved the addition of the hot sausage. I served ours topped with sour cream and cheese and it was yummo. To view the original recipe by the chef click here.

Ingredients

8 Ounces bulk hot sausage (I use Jimmy Dean)
24 Ounces ground chuck (or ground round may be used)
1 (28 ounce) Can diced tomatoes, undrained
1 (15 ounce) Can tomato sauce
1/2 Cup chopped onion
1 Jalapeno pepper, seeded and diced (optional)
1 Teaspoons sugar
1 Tablespoons chili powder (can use less)
1 1/2 Teaspoons cumin
1 Teaspoons oregano
1 (30 ounce) Can hot chili beans, undrained (can use mild)
Corn chips (optional)
Shredded cheddar cheese (optional)

Method

1. In large skillet, brown meat. Drain.

2. In slow cooker, combine browned meat and remaining ingredients EXCEPT beans. Stir well.

3. Cook on high setting for 1 hour. Reduce to low and cook 3 hours to allow flavors to blend. You can also let mixture cook on low for 6 to 7 hours.

4. Add chili beans. Cook on low setting for 30 minutes or until thoroughly heated.

I served ours topped with cheese and sour cream, MMmmm delicious!!!
