Mango, Potatoes & Chicken= Monkey Business!
Serves 4
My sister stopped by with some mangoes 1 day and I sort of forgot I had them (they disappeared into the twilight zone area of the fridge) and a couple of days later when I was figuring out what to cook, I stared at the last mango for a few minutes and said to myself “you know what, I am going to use this some how today”. And that is how I created “Monkey Business” named by my husband. I don’t know why! It turned out to be really tasty and so I have made a vegetarian version of this and a shrimp version of this since then. ALL tasted great. That mango really did do its job! It aint especially pretty but it's oh so tasty!
