Best Mango Salsa Chicken Recipe
This mango salsa chicken is absolutely divine!

Easy Mango Salsa Recipe
I’m in love with the mango salsa that we used as a topping. It’s so flavorful and fruity, and all of the ingredients create the perfect balance. It’s made up of mango, peppers, onions, fresh mint, and more. Just combine everything in a bowl, and you’ve got a fresh summer salsa. This mango salsa chicken recipe wouldn’t be complete without it!
Sangria Butter Sauce
Another important component to this recipe is the Sangria Butter Sauce. You guys know I love Sangria, so bringing that flavor into a sauce to eat with chicken just seemed like the perfect idea. By combining white wine with citrus juices, then cooking it with heavy cream and butter, I made the creamiest, dreamiest sauce to use as a base for this dish. The hint of citrus blends so well with the mango salsa!

Sangria Chicken Recipe
Ingredients
For the Sangria Butter Sauce:
- 1 cup dry or semi-dry white wine (wine that one would drink)
- 1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon freshly squeezed orange juice
- 1 teaspoon freshly grated orange zest
- 3 tablespoons Chambord liqueur
- ½ cup heavy cream
- pinch of fine sea salt or kosher salt
- ½ cup unsalted butter diced
For the Marinated Chicken:
- ¼ cup freshly chopped parsley
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- 1 tablespoon herbes de Provence
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- ¼ cup olive oil
- 1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- ½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 4 medium chicken breasts
- Mango Salsa
Instructions
For the Sangria Butter Sauce:
- In a saucepan, combine wine, lemon juice, orange juice, orange zest and Chambord liqueur. Bring to a boil, over medium heat, and reduce by half.
- Reduce heat to medium-low, add in the cream and, again, reduce by half.
- Reduce heat to low and whisk in the cold butter.
- Keep the sauce warm until ready to serve.
For the Marinated Chicken:
- In a small mixing bowl, whisk together all marinade ingredients and rub the mixture over the chicken breasts. Marinate the chicken 30 minutes at room temperature or up to 3 hours, refrigerated. If the chicken is refrigerated, bring it back to room temperature before cooking it. Roast the chicken in a 375°F oven for 15 minutes or charbroil it in the grill. When tested with a meat thermometer, the internal temperature for chicken breasts should read 155-160°F.
For the Mango Salsa:
- In a medium-size mixing bowl, gently toss together all salsa ingredients. (*NOTE: The salsa should not be made more than 4 hours prior to serving.) If made ahead, keep refrigerated in an airtight container. The salsa will get a little juicy, so use a slotted spoon to spoon the salsa over the chicken.
To Serve:
- Spoon the sangria butter on the bottom of a serving platter, set the chicken breasts over the sangria butter and top the breasts with mango salsa.
