Spicy Mango Chicken Slider

WASTE NOT, WANT NOT!  Creativity begins with a big jar of mangoes.

Spicy Mango Chicken Slider from Feed Your Soul Too

I really do not like to waste food.  Just ask my wife.  She calls me the king of leftovers.  I would argue that this impulse comes from a desire to not want to waste food, and more aptly, a fun challenge for recipe creativity.  The challenge this time?  A big jar of mangoes I bought at COSTCO – 5 LBS worth.  I thought I could eat them after dinner for a change of fruit.  I think I underestimated how many mangoes there really were.

I knew mangoes would go really well with chicken but I wanted to create more of a chutney.  Like most bloggers that have been cooking for some time, we have a pretty good idea how to make a lot of different foods, but we will google our blogger friends for a reference point.  My chutney is adapted from CHILI PEPPER MADNESSS.  The reference point I was looking for was hot to get the right consistency.   Chutneys have a viscosity to them.  I see chutneys mostly in Indian cooking.  They are a spicy condiment made with a mixture of vegetables and/or fruits, often mixed with vinegar, spices, and something sweet.

I am sorry but I did not capture the pictures of my chutney making.  But the thickness comes from cooking down the mangoes with a little juice added in.  I also like to carry through my ingredients in my recipes, so I added some of the chutney to the pepper and onion mixture I made as well.

Ingredients

Smoked Chicken

• 6 Whole Chicken Breasts
• 3 Tbsp Adobo Seasoning
• 2 Tbsp Lemon Pepper
• 2 Tbsp Spanish Paprika
• 12 Whole King's Hawaiian Roles

Mango Chutney

• 12 Slices Mango rough chop
• 1 Whole Red Pepper small dice
• 1/4 Cup Orange Juice
• 1 Medium Onion
• 1 Cup Sugar
• 1/2 Cup White Vinegar
• 1 Clove Garlic minced
• 1 Whole Red pepper sliced
• 1/2 Whole Green pepper sliced
• 1/2 Whole Orange pepper sliced

Instructions

Smoked Chicken

1. Spice the chicken liberally on each side. Move to smoker and cook on low heat for 60 - 90 minutes. Remove from smoker, let rest. After resting, cut in thirds horizontally for serving.

Mango Chutney and Peppers

1. Add all ingredients to a sauce pot. Cook on medium heat for 30 - 40 minutes until the ingredients cook down. Let cool. Add the peppers to the pan and cook down until softened - about 5 minutes.

Final Assemblage

1. Feel free to throw the roles, sliced in half, in a 325 degree oven for 3 - 4 minutes to crisp up. Make the sliders by placing the peppers on the bottom role. Next add the chicken and finish with a healthy helping of the mango chutney. Top with the remaining role.

   Serve and enjoy!
