Mango & Chicken

Here's a strangely-yummy recipe which one of the guys at work managed to get from the restaurant we went to for our Xmas party. It makes loads of sauce, probably enough for 3 or 4 chicken breasts, so do the top part for EACH chicken breast but only do one lot of sauce, or you'll be eating mango sauce forever! I've put below what the recipe says, but I only used 1 leek and it was more than enough, but I'll let you decide!

----

1 chicken breast
1 streaky bacon rasher
2 slices fresh mango
4 x leaves fresh basil

- Stuff chicken with bacon , mango and basil

- Butter a piece of tinfoil season the chicken with pepper and roll in the tinfoil.

- Cook in 180 degree oven for 15 minutes (or until chicken cooked)

Sauce - 250 ml. good chicken stock
250 ml double cream
2 leeks chopped finely
1 fresh mango sliced
cook the leeks and the mango in stock and cream for 15 minutes (do not boil) then blitz in a processor.

It's a really strange combination of ingredients which actually works quite well. God knows who thought of this one though.

If you give it a shot let us know what you think.
