Deeeeelicious! I served this last night and the family loved it—even my two picky eaters (4 and 16 mos.) The fresh basil combined with the orange juice made the kitchen smell so good while cooking.

I didn’t have mango, but served it with pineapples and bananas. We’ll make this again.

Thank you

This was good. I altered the recipe a bit (by adding salt, pepper, cumin and basil to the chicken before cooking over top of the caramelized onions) and I added the picture above.

With it is my Green Tea Rice found here: http://tastyplanner.com/recipes/2950-green-tea-rice
