How To Make Mango Chicken for Meal Prep

These Mango Chicken Bowls are really easy to make and throw together even if it looks like a lot of ingredients. All you have to do is make the marinade for the chicken, cook the rice, and make the black bean and corn salsa. Once everything is ready, take out your meal prep containers and start dividing them into your containers.

You can top this recipe with shredded coconuts or avocado. I would not add the avocado until you are ready to eat and have heated up the meal.

How to Make The Mango Chicken Marinade

In a large blender add the fresh mango, lemon juice, honey, and sriracha. Blend all the ingredients together to make the marinade. You are going to use half of the marinade for the chicken and half for the bean salsa.

After blending, add half the marinade to a bowl and add the chicken. marinate the chicken for at least 10 minutes if not longer.

Meanwhile, you can make the bean salsa. In a bowl add the black beans, corn, red bell peppers, fresh cilantro, and lemon juice. Mix everything together and side aside.

Grilling Chicken Options

In this recipe, I grilled the chicken on my Hamilton Beach 3-1 indoor electric grill. This grill makes it easy for me to grill indoors without having to go outside. It is a great option during the winter months when it’s hard to grill or bbq outside. It does not smoke up the house.

You can grill this chicken on your outside grill if you like. Grill the chicken for 5 minutes on each side or until you get an internal temperature of 375F. Remove chicken and set aside.

You can also use a cast oven pan to grill your chicken on the stove top.

Ingredients Substitution

There are many different ways to substitutions for this chicken recipe. Here’s how you can change it up to make it your own Mango chicken bowl.

Chicken- You can use full chicken breast instead of thin sliced chicken breast. However, if you don’t find the extra few calories, you can use boneless skinless chicken thighs. Chicken thighs are my favorite because they stay juicer and have much more flavor. But they do have a little more fat.

Rice- You can use brown rice in this recipe if you would like. If you are looking for a low carbohydrate (low-carb) option then I would recommend cauliflower rice. There are many frozen cauliflower options that you can choose from.

Black Bean Salsa– Feel free to add whatever other veggies you love to this black bean salsa. You can add tomatoes, red onion and or jalapeno’s. If you do add tomatoes I recommend not adding them until you are ready to eat so that they stay fresh.

Toppings- Feel free to add whatever toppings you like. I recommend adding avocado to this recipe. It gives it a very creamy texture and goes great with the mango flavor. You can also chop up some more mango and add it to the top.

Storing and Heating This Meal Prep Bowl

You can store this Mango chicken recipe in the fridge for up to 4- to 5 days. To reheat, just add it to the microwave for 1-3 minutes with the lid slightly off.

I don’t recommend freezing this recipe because it has rice. I found that when you freeze rice it tends to get hard when you reheat it. If you know of a better way please let me know? You might be able to defrost in the fridge overnight so that the rice does not get hard.
