Mango Chicken

I am going to make Mango Chicken. It is a great chicken marinade with cilantro, mango nectar, and a bunch of spices--but not spicy! You can grill or broil the chicken. We usually serve it with the sides below but it can also be served as just a fancy chicken sandwich. These sides are both really good! Don't be scared off by the number of ingredients. I promise you will be hooked if you try them.

Mango and Black Bean Salsa
1 ripe mango, peeled, seeded and chopped
1 can black beans, rinsed and drained
½ cup chopped tomato
2 thinly sliced green onions
1-2 tablespoon chopped fresh cilantro
1 ½ teaspoons red wine vinegar
½ teaspoon Lawry’s Seasoned Salt

In medium bowl, mix all salsa ingredients. Let stand 30 minutes to allow flavors to blend.

Cilantro Corn
4 ears of corn with corn cut off or 1 bag frozen corn
1 medium red onion, chopped
cilantro to taste, chopped
butter and olive oil

Put some butter and olive oil in a large frying pan (enough to prevent sticking) and add corn and
red onion. Fry until both are tender. At the very end at some cilantro for color and flavor. You will be surprised by how sweet the corn tastes.

I've tried this and it is REALLY good. (Jane has the recipe in our ward cook book.) Look forward to eating it. I served it to some friends and they loved it too! Great idea Jane!
