Instructions

Make the salsa Stir all ingredients in a medium bowl, cover and refrigerate until ready to serve dish. You can make this up to a day in advance.Make the chicken

Whisk to combine all remaining ingredients, except for the chicken, in a mixing bowl.

Place the chicken in a large shallow bowl, pour three quarters of the marinade on top. Toss to coat.Cover the chicken bowl with plastic wrap, and marinate for at least 30 minutes and up to 4 hours, refrigerated. Refrigerate the remaining 1/4 of the marinade separately.

Heat a nonstick skillet over high heat. Use tongs or a fork to remove the chicken from the marinade and place in an even layer in the pan.Flip the chicken after about 3-4 minutes.

Let the mixture cook for another 7 or so minutes, until cooked through.Meanwhile, in a separate saucepan, add the reserved marinade, bring to a boil and cook until slightly thickened, about 5 minutes.

Pour over the cooked chicken or shrimp and serve with rice cooked in half coconut milk/half water with zested lime. Top the plate with the basil-mango salsa you'd made earlier.
