A blend of Caribbean flavors infuses this chicken dish from Milafaye Bryning of Alexandria, Virginia, with a tropical tang. The mango sauce is a cool complement to the paprika-laced coating.

Preparation time: 15 minutes
Cooking time: 25 minutes

You Will Need
1/4 cup honey
1/4 cup lemon juice
1/2 teaspoon grated lemon peel
1 small mango, peeled and diced
1 tablespoon canola oil
1 small onion, peeled and quartered
1 jalapeño pepper, seeded and halved
1 teaspoon paprika
1/2 teaspoon garlic salt
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon ground allspice
1/4 teaspoon pepper
2 boneless skinless chicken breast halves (6 ounces each)


What to Do
1. In a small bowl, whisk the honey, lemon juice and peel until blended. Set aside 1/4 cup.

2. In a small bowl, gently combine the mango and remaining honey mixture; cover and refrigerate.

3. In a blender or food processor, combine the oil, onion, jalapeño, paprika, garlic salt, cinnamon, allspice, pepper and reserved honey mixture; cover and process until onion and jalapeño are finely chopped.
