Grilled Chicken & Mango Sandwich Recipe | Easy and Delicious
Introduction
Welcome to a delightful journey into the world of gourmet sandwiches! Today, I'm thrilled to share with you a recipe that holds a special place in my culinary heart: the Grilled Chicken and Mango Sandwich. This recipe, which I discovered during my time in France, marries the savory flavor of grilled chicken with the sweet, tropical taste of mango, creating a sandwich that's not only delicious but also refreshingly unique.
Ingredients
- Chicken breast
- Salt
- Pepper
- Oil (for marinating and grilling)
- Brioche bread (or your choice of bread)
- Store-bought mango chutney (look out for my own brand coming soon!)
- Fresh mango slices
- Arugula or kale (preferred greens)
- Additional salt and cracked black pepper (for seasoning)
Preparation Steps
- Prepare the Chicken: Start by cutting the chicken breast in half horizontally to ensure it cooks evenly and quickly. Trim any fat and clean the chicken thoroughly.
- Marinate: Season the chicken with salt, pepper, and oil. Massage the marinade into the chicken for even flavor. For best results, refrigerate the marinated chicken for about four hours, although this step can be skipped if you're short on time.
- Grill the Chicken: Heat a grill pan until it's very hot. Swirl oil in the pan to cover the surface and prevent sticking. Place the chicken breast on the pan and grill for five minutes on one side without moving it. This will help achieve beautiful grill marks. After five minutes, flip the chicken and grill for an additional three minutes. Let it rest.
- Assemble the Sandwich: Slice open a brioche bread and spread a generous amount of mango chutney on one side. Layer fresh mango slices over the chutney, followed by a bed of arugula or kale. Season with a little more salt and cracked black pepper to taste. Place the grilled chicken on top of the greens and close the sandwich with the other half of the brioche bread.

The Grilled Chicken and Mango Sandwich is a testament to the beauty of combining simple, high-quality ingredients to create a meal that's both nourishing and immensely satisfying.
