Mary Berry Mango Chicken
Print Recipe

Mary Berry Mango Chicken is a mild and creamy chicken dish cooked in a sauce made from fresh mango, cream, onions, garlic, and gentle spices. The mango adds natural sweetness and fruitiness to the savoury base, creating a rounded flavour profile that appeals to both adults and children. The chicken is simmered until tender, absorbing the flavours of the sauce while staying juicy and soft. With its rich colour and balanced taste, this dish reflects Mary Berry’s signature style—simple, comforting, and reliably delicious.
