I learned the mango chicken curry recipe from my grandmother. I remember how she used to cook it when we visited her place. The aroma of the curry would waft through the entire house and we would wait impatiently sitting right beside her in the kitchen only. 

Personally I like to cook this recipe for dinner and side it up with rice. The spoonful bites of rice soaked with the curry is delightful and mouth watering. If you like butter chicken you would surely love this one too. 

The rich and creamy bites of mango chicken curry is something you don’t want to miss out on. The best part of this recipe is that it’s rich in vitamins, has inflammatory properties and provides a great source of protein as well.

Just reading out the recipe won’t work, try it out once and you will love this creamy and flavourful meal.

FAQs About Mango Chicken Curry

Nutritional Information

Mango Chicken Curry is a delicious meal to consume when it comes to its richness in taste but eating it on a daily basis might not be a healthy practice. Here is the nutritional chart of mango chicken curry.

Mango Chicken Curry provides all the healthy nutrients to you when consumed in the right proportions. You can always add or drop the ingredients according to your own choice and preferences.

Recipe Variations For Different Diets

• Vegetarian Diet: You can replace the chicken with tofu, cottage cheese or even boiled potatoes. You can add different vegetables like carrots, peas, and green beans for extra taste.
• Low-Carb Diet: Reduce the amount of mangoes and skip if using any added sugar. Use grilled chicken and serve it with steamed vegetables instead of bread or rice.

Storing This Recipe

Refrigeration: You can keep the curry in the fridge for up to 2-3 days. Try to keep it in an airtight container as it locks in the flavours.

Reheating: You need to reheat the leftovers before consuming again. You can heat it gently in a pan and keep stirring until its creamy texture is back. You can add some water or a spoon of coconut milt if it feels too thick.

What To Serve With This Recipe 

Personally I love pairing Mango Chicken Curry with Crispy Rice. For those cutting down on carbs, Cauliflower Rice is a great option. Rice is light, fluffy and soaks up the curry flavours nicely. 

You can also eat it with different Breads as they help scoop up the curry and are great for dipping. A simple salad with sliced cucumber, onions and squeezed lemon can also add crunch and freshness to your meal.

Expert Tips That I Recommend

• While making this recipe, I always use dry chicken. Wet chicken will not be marinated properly; hence, it will compromise the flavors of the dish.
• Another tip is to avoid using short-grain rice for this recipe. Short-grain rice results in sticky, clumpy rice, which is not favorable for this recipe.
• When cutting the chicken, I try to cut it into equal sizes. If not, the baking time will be altered, which can result in a combination of raw and overcooked chicken.
• To boost the flavors, I like to leave my marinated chicken in the refrigerator for 2 hours. You can also leave it overnight for best results.
• If you are thinking of using regular water to make the rice, then don’t. Chicken broth adds a good taste to the rice, which regular water won’t.
• Layering smartly for this dish is key. You should always add rice at the bottom, then chicken on top for everything to be cooked properly.
• If you enjoy rice and chicken casserole recipes, then you can also layer this recipe with cheese in the last 5 minutes of baking. Also, garnish it with parsley or chives for a boost of flavors.

FAQs About Chef John Chicken Rice Recipe

Nutritional Information Per Serving

Since Chef John Chicken Rice is a heavy dish, it is quite obvious that it is unhealthy to consume regularly. Consisting of chicken and rice, it is high in calories, which is why people should have this in moderation. To get more insights on this recipe, take a look at the chart below:

However, we cannot overlook the fact that it is soy-free, nut-free, and gluten-free. So, people who follow such diets can enjoy this dish without any hesitation. But, this has chicken and yogurt in it, so vegan, vegetarian, and dairy-free diet followers need to make some modifications to the recipe.

Recipe Variations For Different Diets

• Dairy-Free: When my friends who follow a dairy-free diet request me to make this, I consider making some changes to the recipe. Instead of using regular yogurt, I use coconut, oat, or almond yogurt to make it dairy-free.

Storing & Reheating This Recipe

Storing

• Counter Top: Chef John Chicken Rice takes a lot of time to cook, so I do not risk spoilage. After 2 hours, I transferred it to the refrigerator to keep it safe.
• Refrigeration: I have observed that Chef John Chicken Rice stays fresh in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. However, the key is to lock it in airtight containers to prevent moisture leakage.
• Freezing: If you want to store Chef John Chicken Rice for more than 2 days, then you can consider freezing it. Before freezing, I let it cool down, then I add it to freezer-friendly bags, which keeps it fresh for 1-2 months.

Reheating

• Oven: To avoid any mess, I like to reheat Chef John Chicken Rice in a preheated oven at 350 degrees F. I add the leftovers to a baking dish and cover it with aluminum foil. Then, I bake it for 10-15 minutes, depending on the quantity, until it is warm enough.
• Microwave: For reheating a small portion of Chef John Chicken Rice for myself, I use a microwave. I add the leftovers to a microwave-friendly dish and cover it with foil. Then, I heat it at medium heat for 30-60 seconds until it is heated properly.

What To Serve With This Recipe

Although Chef John Chicken Rice is quite filling on its own, here are some sides that you can serve with it. A bowl of simple Salad or roasted greens never fails to impress me.

If you love chicken, then you can have it with Grilled Chicken or chicken thighs. Vegetarians can also try it out with vegetarian Chili.

For sauce options, you can also have this with a Vegan Lemon Sauce recipe.

Growing up, we rarely had different kinds of rice dishes at our home. Everybody loved the usual white rice. The love for it was so profound that although the side dishes changed, the main staple, i.e. rice, remained the same.

Expert Tips That I Recommend

• When I make Cauliflower Fried Rice in large quantities, I like to do it in batches. Overcrowding the pan with too much food at once can make the rice soggy by generating too much steam.
• I have kept it simple, but you can also add shrimp, tofu, chicken, or more veggies while making this recipe.
• If you’re running low on time, you can use a blender or mixer to make the cauliflower rice instead of scraping it with a knife. Just remove the chunks from the cauliflower and add it to the blender.
• A cooking tip that I follow to ensure that the Cauliflower Fried Rice is fluffy and not soggy is to uncover the pan. If you cover it, then the steam is held in the pan, which makes your rice soggy.
• To keep this recipe authentic, I avoid using store-bought cauliflower rice. I go for authentic cauliflower rice by scraping off the cauliflower.
• While making Cauliflower Fried Rice, if you find that your rice is drying out, you can add a little bit of broth to it. I prefer using chicken or vegetable stock for this recipe.
• Since this is a quick recipe, you have to be very fast, or else the ingredients can burn.

Expert Tips That I Recommend

• Making stew is always about patience, and it’s worth the wait. I prefer to render the bacon slowly because the fat it releases becomes the flavor goldmine. 
• Secondly, brown the meat in batches to create the foundation of the stew. This will help you achieve umami-rich flavors. 
• I would also recommend letting the onions and garlic sweat, rather than rushing them. You can also add a pinch of salt to draw out moisture and deepen flavors more quickly.
• Moving on, when you add the canned tomatoes, add the liquid as well, because it contributes to the depth of flavor.   
• I always ensure to dice the potatoes evenly so they cook consistently. Uneven chunks of potatoes can lead to a stew where some bites are perfect and others are undercooked and mushy. 
• Next, to adjust the consistency of the stew, add the broth gently while stirring each time. If the stew is thick, you can adjust the amount of broth accordinly.

• Further, add the sausages to the same pan.
  
• Once you see the color of sausages changing, add the ground beef mixture.

• Now, season everything with a pinch of salt, black pepper, and chili powder.
  
• Further, it is time to add flour to enhance the thickness of the gravy.

Notes

• Making stew is always about patience, and it’s worth the wait. I prefer to render the bacon slowly because the fat it releases becomes the flavor goldmine. 
• Secondly, brown the meat in batches to create the foundation of the stew. This will help you achieve umami-rich flavors. 
• I would also recommend letting the onions and garlic sweat, rather than rushing them. You can also add a pinch of salt to draw out moisture and deepen flavors more quickly.
• Moving on, when you add the canned tomatoes, add the liquid as well, because it contributes to the depth of flavor.   
• I always ensure to dice the potatoes evenly so they cook consistently. Uneven chunks of potatoes can lead to a stew where some bites are perfect and others are undercooked and mushy. 
• Next, to adjust the consistency of the stew, add the broth gently while stirring each time. If the stew is thick, you can adjust the amount of broth accordinly.

Trust me, I know this because I’ve served it on countless occasions, and it takes every guest’s breath away. Usually, meatballs are reserved for spaghetti; however, I decided to serve them at a picnic with other side dishes. I love going to picnics and serving new, creative dishes. But there was this one time when I had no idea what to do.

 I thought my reputation for being the most creative with picnic food items was going to be tarnished until I found this recipe. Made with bourbon, this is the ultimate way of enjoying a cocktail as a dish. 

Also, it has meat and bourbon, which are the two most loved ingredients. So, if you’ve been facing difficulties coming up with a new dish or want to treat yourself, then give this recipe a try for a good time.

Equipment Required 

• Slow cooker: I am using a slow cooker to make this recipe, but you can make it in an Instant Pot or a skillet. 
• Spatula: To toss everything together, I am using a spatula.

Expert Tips That I Recommend

• Since I am using frozen meatballs, I always like to thaw them at room temperature first. Extremely cold meatballs will require more cooking time, which will alter the total timings.

• This recipe is easily customizable, allowing you to adjust the quantity of bourbon as needed. Additionally, you can adjust the amounts of other ingredients as needed.
