Chicken with Mango and Ginger

This was a quick, easy and super delicious dinner! I prepped all the ingredients the night before, so after our workout, I only needed to assemble and bake. The mango and jalapeño offered a delightful combination of sweet and spicy. The parchment packets kept all the juices inside making the chicken very moist and tender. I definitely plan on making this meal again.
