Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Combine ¼ cup brown sugar, white vinegar, balsamic vinegar, oil, cumin, curry powder, salt, and black pepper in a large bowl; add chicken and toss to coat.

Step 2

Melt butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add chicken; brown on both sides, 10 to 12 minutes.

Step 3

Place 1 sliced onion, ½ mango slices, Dijon mustard, garlic, and pepper flakes in a blender; blend until smooth, about 1 minute. Pour over chicken in the skillet.

Step 4

Stir in mustard greens, remaining 1 sliced onion, remaining ½ mango slices, white sugar, raisins, and remaining ¼ cup brown sugar; bring to a boil. Reduce heat to a simmer; cook, stirring often, until chicken is no longer pink and juices run clear, 10 to 15 minutes more.
