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.

This is a fab tuna recipe the chipotle sauce works great with this with just the right amount of sweet meets spicy. I love tuna and this recipe is another one that is a little different than the usual way you see tuna prepared with a great tasting end result. I made some avocado salsa to go with this and topped with a couple of prawns as they were on special. I also served it with sliced mango and red pepper for a refreshing, delicious healthy meal. You could also serve this with rice if you wanted to add more carbs. To view more photos and read more reviews of this recipe please click here.
