Makes 4 servings
- 1/2 tsp (2 mL) ground cumin
- 1/2 tsp (2 mL) ground ginger
- 1/4 tsp (1 mL) dried thyme (or 3/4 tsp / 3 mL chopped fresh)
- Pinch each: ground nutmeg, cayenne pepper
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 1lb/500 g)

- 1 ripe but firm mango, peeled and cut into chunks
- 2 green onions, thinly sliced
- Salt to taste
- 1/4 cup (50 mL) chopped fresh coriander

In a small dish, stir together spices. Sprinkle both sides of chicken breast with spice mixture. Heat margarine in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add chicken breasts and cook, turning occasionally, until both sides are a deep golden brown and chicken is no longer pink inside, about 10 to 15 minutes.
Add mango and green onions. Cook, stirring, just until heated through, about 1 minute. Remove from heat. Sprinkle with salt, coriander and a squeeze of lime. Serve immediately.
