Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ’s)

What Kind of Chicken Do I Use

This recipe calls for thighs because they are more forgiving when cooking them and because they are more flavorful. You can use breast meat but you’ll find that it isn’t as juicy and doesn’t hold up to rewarming like the thighs do.

Can I Use Canned Mango?

Yes, absolutely! If your grocery has it, it’s fine to use canned mango (my grocery doesn’t carry it). Just drain the juices from the mango before adding to the pan.

How Do I Know this Dish is Done?

This dish is done when a thermometer put into the centers of the chicken registered 165. The chicken is cooked through and the juices are clear.

Tips and Tricks for One Pan Pineapple Mango Chicken

  • If using fresh mangos, make sure they are somewhat soft, if not soft, then cook for a bit first before adding the other ingredients.
  • Canned mangos are a potential for this recipe, drain them first before using.
  • Save the juice from the pineapples to deglaze the pan. This adds the right acidity and sweetness to the final dish.
  • Cut the chicken into bite sized pieces.
  • When cooking the chicken, if some of it sticks
  • It’s really important to add salt and pepper to the chicken because you need to layer the flavors. Unseasoned chicken gives an “off” flavor to the entire dish.
  • We only recommend Very Teriyaki Brand of Teriyaki sauce for this recipe. If you are using any other brand, the results may differ. on link, I am an amazon affiliate and if you purchase through this link, I will receive a commission, so thank you!
