Mango Baked Chicken with Curried Tahini Sauce

Boost the flavor of chicken breasts by coating them in a curried tahini sauce, topping them off with ripe mango pieces, and baking until they're perfectly juicy. The cooked mango looses it's acidity and takes on a softer, sweeter taste which pairs so well with the nutty tahini. I like to make double of the sauce and use it as a tasty dressing for a simple side salad.

Recipe Notes
Note 1: A good tahini can make a world of difference in how this recipe turns out. The texture and flavor depends on the type of sesame seed used, the roast level, and how those seeds are processed. Look for a tahini that's light in color and very runny. It should taste rich and slightly sweet, not at all abrasive or overly bitter.
