Mango Cilantro Chicken

Hi!  I just wanted to share another tip to lessen the amount of cooking ad prepping during the week.  I love Mexican type flavors and try to add them to a lot of things - in this case the mango cilantro reminds me of a good salsa.

So, whenever I make a marinade, I double the recipe, use the fresh marinade for that day's cooking.  I put the other half in a ball jar, freeze it, and I have a ready made marinade for another dinner.

Ingredients for the marinade:
1 cup of mango cubed (I use the frozen mango because I don't want to take the time to cut up a fresh mango - but you can certainly do that - it would about 1 mango).
1/2 cup cilantro
1 shallot
tsp ginger
2 cloves garlic
1/2 cup coconut milk
1 TBS apple cider vinegar
1 TBS lime juice
2 TBS olive oil
1/2 tsp of hot sauce (in this one I used a salsa using chile piquin) - but use a pre-purchased hot sauce or make your own with the chiles you like).
1/2 tsp sea salt
1/4 tsp black pepper

Directions:
1. Place ingredients in food processor. Pulse.
2. Season chicken with salt and pepper.
3. Place the chicken with 1/2 the sauce in a freezer bag or a bowl and let it marinade.
4. When ready to cook, place in a baking dish and bake the chicken for about 30-35 minutes
5. Heat the remaining sauce when ready to serve and spoon over the chicken and serve.
