Professional Step-by-Step Preparation
-
Chicken preparation: Cut the chicken into bite-size pieces or strips. Season it lightly with a pinch of Bonsalt and pepper to taste.
-
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.
-
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.
-
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.
-
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.
-
Salt point: Adjust the final flavor with the remaining Bonsalt

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