Try these Pulled Chicken Tacos with Spicy Mango-Lime Chutney for a sweet and spicy dinner!

Such a fun, yummy way to change up taco night once in awhile! This pulled chicken taco recipe uses a traditional taco seasoning in the chicken and then a sweet and spicy mango chutney on top - sooooo good!

I’ve been more than obsessed with using fruit in main dishes lately.  Especially mango.  I never even liked mango until recently, and now I can’t get enough!  Thankfully they are easy to find and not that expensive because I’m buying them all the time!  I’ve used diced mango in a few different “bowl” dinners, and they go really well with Cuban seasoned pork, but I wanted to try something different.  I decided to make Pulled Chicken Tacos and topped them with a Spicy Mango-Lime Chutney!

I used my slow cooker to make the pulled chicken.  I just tossed in a couple pounds of chicken breasts and seasoned them with a homemade taco seasoning.  You could totally use a packet of store bought taco seasoning to make it even easier, I just prefer to make my own and included the ingredients for mine in the recipe below in case you want to try it too.  You may need to add a little water to the slow cooker to keep the chicken from getting too dry.

The Spicy Mango-Lime Chutney is really easy to toss together as well!  I used diced mangos (check out THIS handy tool!), fresh lime juice, cilantro, and chili peppers.  I went back and forth between chili peppers and jalapenos and ended up going with the chili peppers. The jalapenos would be amazing as well!  Just remember to remove the seeds if you don’t want the chutney to be too spicy!  I also left some pepper-free for my 8-year-old son.

Making the tacos is so easy!  Toss some of the chicken into a soft tortilla or crunchy taco shell and top with the mangos – done! You can make the Spicy Mango-Lime Chutney ahead of time and store it in the refrigerator so this works great as a weeknight dinner.

  2. I’m a sucker for anything with mangos! And mango salsa is one of my favorites. I’ll have to try it with chile peppers as I’ve only ever used jalapenos. Putting it on top of chicken tacos sounds delicious and a perfect use for the mangos off our tree.

  3. Okay, thank you for linking to that little mango slicer gadget. I don’t cook with mangoes because I HATE trying to peel them and remove the pit. Now I’m motivated to try your recipe!

  19. This looks SO good – reminds me of a recipe I used to make years ago but misplaced and forgot about. I’ll need to make this version now.

    • I always go with when they are firm but have just the slightest bit of softness if you squeeze them. Too soft and they get mushy inside which is fine if you’re making a puree with them 🙂

    • Thank you – it is! I’m going to post it separate since it will go well with so many things!
