Mango & Lime Chicken Quarters

A wonderful tasting chicken dish. This was our Wed night dinner. I was going to make a wild rice, but as we are getting back on track with our weight management, the extra carbs were not needed.

I have always loved the mango! When I was young, on one of my Bipolar Manic Highs, I managed to make it all the way to Jamaica where I lived for some time. They make some of the most incredible dishes with mangoes. In Jamaica, the varieties often have local names and altogether we find black-greengage, black-sweetie, stringy, beef, Bombay, East Indian, Haden, kidney, lady finger, Number 11, Parry, pint o’ water, Robin, St Julian (“Julie”), Tommy Atkins, turpentine. There is such variety. Here in the states it is hard to find a good variety accept in specialty stores. I used the common store bought mango, but if you find a particular flavor you like, use it! Mango & Lime is such a wonderful combination.
