Peach Mango Chicken

Two of my favorite fruits are peach and mango. Luckily for me, its been peach and mango season. Ever since I made strawberry jam a couple of weeks ago I wanted to try to make a peach mango jam to have with chicken.

I made my own jam using this:

I used the low sugar recipe for the peach jam, I used two peaches and one mango. Chopped them up to have about 1 2/3 c of fruit and then pureed it in my blender, (You can puree it or keep it as chunky as you want). Then I followed the recipe as indicated. (I did not add butter).

However, you could also buy a peach mango or even a peach jam to use for this recipe.

Put peach mango jam, brown sugar, soy sauce and vinegar in a glass bowl and microwave for about 20 seconds, until jam has thinned down. 

Mixture should still be thick but a smoother consistency.. Whisk in ginger, garlic, basil and red pepper flakes. 

Add chicken and marinate for 30 minutes.

 












 Preheat broiler to high.  Put aluminum foil in a baking dish and spray with nonstick cooking spray. Don't make my mistake and forget this! I was so busy thinking about pictures, I spaced this step and was scrubbing this dish for a LONG time!

Remove chicken from marinade and place in baking dish.. Broil about 3 inches from the heat until cooked through (about 5 minutes on each side).

Flip the chicken over and then cover with the chopped mango and peaches and sprinkle basil on top. Cook for another 5 minutes.
