Ingredients

• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 3 eggs
• 2 tablespoons water
• 1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese, softened
• 1 cup heavy whipping cream
• 4 skinless, boneless chicken breasts
• sea salt to taste
• 2 shallots, chopped
• ¼ cup vegetable oil, or as needed
• 2 tablespoons mango jam
• 4 cups bread crumbs
• 2 mangos, peeled and coarsely chopped

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Place chicken on a solid, level surface. Firmly pound with the smooth side of a meat mallet to an even 1/4-inch thickness.

Step 2

Pour flour into a shallow bowl. Whisk eggs with water in a separate bowl. Spread bread crumbs on a shallow plate.

Step 3

Dredge each chicken breast in flour. Dip into the egg mixture; press into the bread crumbs to coat both sides. Place breaded chicken on a large plate.

Step 4

Combine mangoes, cream cheese, heavy cream, and mango jam in a blender; puree into a smooth sauce. Transfer sauce to the refrigerator to thicken up.

Step 5

Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Cook breaded chicken until golden brown and no longer pink in the center, about 3 minutes per side.

Step 6

Spoon mango sauce over cooked chicken. Garnish with chopped shallots and sea salt.
