Southwestern Pasta with Chicken, Pine Nuts and Mango I took 2 chicken breast filets and cubed them. I mixed some El Yucateco annato seasoner and cayenne pepper in with them. I stir-fried them with a handfull of pine nuts in butter. Then I put in the mango, diced, about 3 strips from a jar. I made a std. white sauce and used milk plus 1/4 c. of orange juice and a jigger of tequila and a dash of the annato. I added a dash of sugar and grated some Parmesan cheese into it. I mixed in the chiken, pine nuts, mango and heated it thru. I served it over linguine. My husband LOVED it. I got the idea from a restaurant in Victoria, BC where I had chicken, cashews and mango in a fabulous white sauce with wine over linguine. I didn't have any cashews or white wine so I improvised.
