Ginger and Mango Chicken

This chicken is REALLY good. It so simple to put together with ingredients that can be stored in your pantry or freezer and it is healthy for you! A winning combo! You dirty one pan as all the mixing and baking are done in one baking dish which I always appreciate. I tweaked this recipe from a Martha recipe in which she uses peaches and some other ingredients but I loved the simple taste of these few ingredients. I also had frozen mangoes instead of peaches so figured that would be just as good. The mangoes get soft and the onions carmelize…ooo so good. Definitely a keeper. I added some leftover brown rice and steamed broccoli for a perfect well rounded meal.
Ginger and Mango Chicken
1 bag (1 pound) frozen mangoes, unthawed
1 onion, halved and sliced 1/4 inch thick
Coarse salt and ground pepper
2 tablespoons grated fresh ginger (I used the crushed ginger from Trader Joe’s)
2 tablespoons soy sauce
4 bone-in skin-on chicken breast halves, (10 to 12 ounces each)
Cooked rice, for serving
1. Preheat oven to 450 degrees. Place mangos and onions on a large rimmed baking sheet; season with salt and pepper. Sprinkle with ginger, soy sauce; toss to coat.
2. Spray chicken with Pam/olive oil; season with salt and pepper. Arrange chicken skin side up among mangoes and onions.
3. Roast until chicken is opaque throughout and registers 160 degrees.on an instant-read thermometer inserted in thickest part of breast (avoiding bone), 30-40 minutes. Serve chicken with white rice, mangoes, and onions.
