Cashew Mango Chicken

So in an attempt to lose a bit of weight before the much awaited pregnancy of baby #2 happens, I have decided to do a diet with my mom, Brandi, and Leann.  It is a diet based around the idea of small meals that are perfectly portioned, along with exercise, and drinking a TON of water!  It is a really great way to loose weight, feel great, and get healthy.  The next few meals I post will not only be delicious, but also align perfectly with the Game On! Diet.


1 small can chicken stock (low sodium)
12 cashews, crushed
3 palm size chicken breast (boneless, skinless)
Paprika
Crushed red pepper
salt and pepper

2 mangoes, diced
1 cucumber, diced
1/2 red onion, diced
1 bunch of cilantro, chopped
1 squeeze of lime juice

Soak chicken breasts in chicken stock and then lightly bread with the crushed cashews (if you are not doing the Game On! Diet, then I would add about 1/2 cup of panko bread crumbs to the crushed cashews).  Place on a lightly greased (with cooking spray) cookie sheet.  Bake at 350 degrees for 30-35 minutes or until the chicken is cooked all the way through.

While the chicken is cooking, add all your diced fruits and vegetables together.  Add lime juice and salt and pepper to taste.

To assemble, jut put  a fist sized portion of mango salsa over the top of your cashew chicken...and enjoy!!! Diet or not, this is a delicious meal that is both sweet and savory!!!  Serves 3
