Mango Ginger Chicken Dinner, 11.5 grams protein, 169 calories

IMG_3133The most exciting part of this chicken dinner is not the sweet taste, but the mango bits that help with the chewing of the chicken. You may skip the cornstarch if you don’t favor a thick creamy sauce.  Mango might aid in decreasing risk of macular degeneration and colon cancer, while improving digestion and bone health, as well as skin and hair.

Ingredients: 

  • 2 Fresh Boneless Skinless Chicken Thigh Cutlets (40g, 220c)

  • ½ teaspoon rice vinegar (10c)
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon cornstarch, diluted in 4 ounces water (20c)
