Test Kitchen Tips:

Purchase a jar of refrigerated mango slices from your grocery store's produce section in place of fresh mangoes for a quicker preparation time. Another time-saver is packaged ready-to-serve cooked bacon strips that you can find in the meat section of the grocery store.

You can also use your indoor electric grill to cook the chicken. Cook according to manufacturer's directions.
