Delicious! Quick, simple and very more-ish....I had fresh peaches to hand so substituted them as suggested. Gobbled up by DH and my brother. This one's a keeper. Thanks, Dorothy!

This was excellent! Based on some other reviews I tripled the spices (for pretty large chicken breasts) and I also used about 3/4 the bag of frozen mango chunks from Trader Joe's. The flavor was quite good - served over some garlic mashed potatoes that we had left over. We all enjoyed this, from grown ups to toddler! Thanks!

We used a bag of frozen mango and I mashed the mangos so that it was more like a sauce. This was excellent. Lots of healthy vitiman C.

This is a very simple, very delicious recipe. I halved the recipe, because there were only two of us. Otherwise, I wouldn't change a thing. The mangos, lime, cumin and cilantro are a great flavour combination. It is also a very colourful and attractive dish. I will be making this frequently. Thanks Dorothy.

I loved it. My husband said its a keeper. Of course I changed the recipe. I had 2 pounds of chicken thighs, so I quadrupled the spices, added garlic and salt, more green onions, two mangos (1 would also be sufficient). The lime and the cilantro give it a kick. The flavor combination is very good. Next time I will use even more spices, especially cayenne and garlic. I fried the thighs in a bit of butter, but I'm sure any oil would do just fine. It's only 'bland' if you don't use salt. We had ciabatta and an herb salad with it. Yum! Thanks for sharing!

i don't eat chicken, but wanted to treat DH, who was very impressed and kept mmm-ing all through dinner. i used fresh minced garlic instead of ginger, since he prefers garlic and i added some extra thyme. i didn't have any green onions so i just used regular. thanks for a wonderful recipe that DH relished.
