Professional Step-by-Step Preparation

  1. Chicken preparation: Cut the chicken into bite-size pieces or strips. Season it lightly with a pinch of Bonsalt and pepper to taste.

  2. Searing the meat: In a large skillet with the coconut oil or EVOO, brown the chicken over medium-high heat until sealed on the outside. Remove and set aside.

  3. Aromatic base: In the same skillet, add the red onion and garlic, finely chopped. Sauté until soft. Add the grated ginger and cook for one more minute to release its aroma.

  4. Making the sauce: Blend the mango flesh together with the coconut milk until smooth and creamy. Pour this mixture into the skillet over the sautéed base.

  5. Final cooking: Return the reserved chicken to the skillet. Lower the heat and let everything cook together for 10-12 minutes, allowing the sauce to thicken slightly and the flavors to come together.

  6. Salt point: Adjust the final flavor with the remaining Bonsalt

  7. Plating: Serve the chicken piping hot, topped with chopped fresh cilantro and a little shredded coconut for texture.
