Delicious but we are not mango lovers so I would substitute pineapple the next time around. I served this with baby carrots, yams with a brown sugar and rum sauce and cole slaw.

I enjoyed this sweet tasting main course.

I made this recipe twice. The first time as written, which was great, then I adjusted it for my family's tastes the second time. I used a non-stick pan and didn't turn the chicken while it cooked. coconut on top toasted just right in the 30 minutes I baked it. To the Fruit Sauce I added 1 jalapeno, seeded and chopped, 1/2 teaspoon ground red pepper, 3 colves garlic, chopped, & about 1/2 teaspoon garlic salt, (we thought the whole recipe needed more salt both times). I found a scant 1/4 teaspoon of cornstarch in the sour cream mixture was enough thickening. Then we all sat back in our chairs and thanked the unknown (as yet) chef who submitted this recipe. My family says, "It's a Keeper!" YUM!
