My Mango Chicken has been one of my go-to chicken dinners for a long time. Recently, a reader asked if she could make this recipe in a crock pot or slow cooker. What a great idea! Why didn’t I think of that? I’m always on the lookout for quick and easy dinners and this one certainly meets that criteria.
After her suggestion, I got busy and adapted my original recipe to streamline it and make it gluten-free and paleo. This time, I used frozen mango chunks because they were less expensive than buying fresh mangoes. I also used boneless, skinless chicken thighs instead of breasts, but either will work just fine. I cut out the oil and flour by removing the need to brown the chicken parts first.
