We have some great cooks in our family.
We like to try new recipes and tweak the old ones.
We're always asking each other, "Can I have your recipe?"
So we created a place to share the recipes that others ask for, the experiments that turn out well or the recipes that we fall back on because they're quick and yummy. Some of these recipes are original, some are gleaned from friends and some are blatantly copied from other sources.
All of them have been tested and found delicious.

Enjoy!

Chicken with mango and ginger

(print this recipe)

1 large mango, peeled, pitted, and cut into 1/4 inch wedges
8 chicken cutlets (about 1 3/4 pounds total)
1 piece fresh ginger (1 inch), peeled and cut into matchsticks
1/3 cup fresh cilantro leaves
1 medium jalapeno, thinly sliced (this can be omitted if you want--it makes it pretty hot!)
coarse salt and ground pepper
2 tablespoons plus 2 teaspoons extra-virgin olive oil
lime wedges for serving

Preheat oven to 400. Place mango wedges in center of four 18-inch-long pieces of parchment (NOT wax paper). Top with chicken, ginger, cilantro, and jalapeno. Season with salt and pepper and drizzle each with 2 teaspoons oil. Fold parchment into a "twist" or "envelope" (or whatever works for you as long as it's closed). Place packets on a rimmed baking sheet and bake until packets are puffed up and chicken is cooked through, 18-20 minutes. Serve with lime wedges.
