Ingredients

2 tablespoons olive oil
1 onion, diced (about 1 cup)
1 red pepper, diced (about 1 cup)
3 cloves garlic, coarsely chopped
1 teaspoon salt
Freshly ground black pepper
1/2 teaspoon ground allspice
1/3 cup red wine vinegar
3 tablespoons molasses
2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
2 tablespoons lime juice
1/4 cup low-sodium tomato sauce
1 mango, diced (about 1 1/2 cups)
2 to 3 jalapenos, minced
2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 3/4 pound each)

Directions

Heat the oil in a medium-sized skillet over medium-high. Add the onions and cook until translucent, about 2 minutes. Add the red peppers, garlic, salt and pepper, and allspice and cook for 2 minutes more. Stir in the vinegar, molasses, Worcestershire sauce, lime juice and tomato sauce and cook for 1 minute more. Transfer the mixture into a bender and add the mango and jalapeno. Blend until smooth.

Put 1 cup of the barbeque sauce into a sealable plastic bag with the chicken and marinate for 1 hour.

Preheat the broiler. Put the chicken on a broiler pan and discard the marinade. Broil the chicken on high for about 12 minutes, turning once. Let the meat rest for 10 minutes before slicing. Spoon about 1/2 cup of barbeque sauce over the meat slices and serve.

Didn't care for the sauce at all
Rated: 3 stars out of 5

I usually like Ellie's recipes, but my boyfriend and I both disliked the sauce. It probably would have been great without the... mango. I tried adding some barbecue sauce to help the flavor, but the mango just ruined it.Read more

Totally off the chain Chicken
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

This was by far the best chicken recipe I have found using Chicken breast. I have always found them to be dry. That all... changed when I made your dish Ellie. I have been using a lot of your recipes lately. One of my other favorites was the curried chicken salad. Thanks so much for your great recipes. My fiance loved also.Read more

Interesting flavors...
Rated: 4 stars out of 5

I really enjoyed this recipe, it was something different from your everyday chicken. I halved the amount of jalapeno peppers,... just because I was scared it'd be too hot for me. I still haven't mastered the proper way to cut or "de-seed" a mango, so I was a little frustrated when trying to do that. Overall, a good recipe, will make again:)Read more

sweet and tangy
Rated: 4 stars out of 5

I liked this dish. The savory/salty flavors were mellow (jalapeno, garlic, salt, onion). The sweet flavors were enhanced... (mango, peppers). I would have preferred more balance between sweet and savory, but it was a nice change of pace, and definitely healthy. My fiance liked it too. It reminded us of Caribbean food. Next time, I'll add more savory items so it isnt so sweet, like sage or thyme or more salt... A great start to a good sauce... Read more

Tangy
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I really love this recipe. I thought the flavor of the sauce was great with the tanginess and sweetness from the mango, and... the spice from the Jalapenos. I made the whole recipe and had it for lunch a few days in a row. I took the chicken, cut it up, and put it in a whole wheat pita stuffed with mixed greens and sprouts with extra sauce. So delicious and SUPER healthy. Thanks Ellie!Read more
