Cooking Time: 25-30 minutes
Total Time: Approximately 50-55 minutes
Ingredients
4 boneless chicken breasts
2 ripe mangoes, peeled, pitted, and diced
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 onion, finely chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
1-inch piece of ginger, grated
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 teaspoon ground coriander
1 teaspoon turmeric
1 teaspoon garam masala
Salt and pepper to taste
For the Bhaji Crumb:
4 slices of bread (white or wholemeal), processed into breadcrumbs
1 onion, finely chopped
1 green chilli, finely chopped
2 tablespoons fresh coriander leaves, chopped
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
1/2 teaspoon ground coriander
Salt and pepper to taste
Method
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F).
In a large frying pan, heat the vegetable oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onions and sauté until they become translucent, about 3-4 minutes.
Add the minced garlic and grated ginger to the pan and sauté for an additional 2 minutes until fragrant.
Stir in the ground cumin, ground coriander, turmeric, garam masala, and season with salt and pepper. Cook for 2-3 minutes to allow the spices to bloom.
Add the diced mangoes to the pan and cook for another 3-4 minutes until they start to soften and release their juices.
Remove the mango mixture from the heat and allow it to cool slightly.
While the mango mixture cools, prepare the Bhaji Crumb. In a separate bowl, combine the breadcrumbs, finely chopped onion, green chilli, fresh coriander leaves, ground cumin, ground coriander, salt, and pepper.
Lay the chicken breasts in a baking dish and spoon the mango mixture over the top, ensuring they are evenly coated.
Sprinkle the Bhaji Crumb mixture over the mango-topped chicken breasts.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through and the Bhaji Crumb is golden brown and crispy.
Serve the Mango Masala Chicken Breast with Bhaji Crumb hot, garnished with extra fresh coriander leaves and accompanied by steamed rice or naan bread.
