Mangoes may very well be the king of all fruits. They fight cancer, alkalize the body, aid in weight loss, regulate diabetes, help digestion and help clear acne. The list goes on..... I happen to have lots of mangoes at the moment and came up with this Mango Coconut Chicken. I served it with basmati rice and chopped fresh basil.
