I have chicken breasts, and marinade for them. Now what?

I have boneless skinless breasts, and a bottle of spicy mango marinade. What I lack, however, is inspiration. What do I DO with them?

What would YOU do with them?

I need ideas for turning that into a complete meal of some kind. I mean, obviously I intend to marinade the chicken, either whole or pre cut. Then what … ?

Let’s see…around here we would:

grill the breasts and serve over rice or noodles

       "            slice and serve in a chef's salad

       "            slap on a bun with chutney

        "           shred and make chicken tacos (although dark meat is much more flavorful)

What would I do with them?
I’d cut the chicken breast into thin strips. Through them in a tupperware with the marinade for a half a day. Thread them onto some wood skewers and grill them outside.
I’d probably put some fresh green beans marinaded in olive oil and garlic in a grill basket to go along with them. And maybe make some stove top instant cous cous also.

Spicy mango? I’d go pseudo-Caribbean. Add some sliced jalapeno to the marinade for a few hours than grill it over charcoal or hardwood and serve with peas & rice and fried plantains.

Sounds like it would go well with some couscous.

This recipe is supposed to go with flank steak but it sounds like it would work with spicy mango chicken: Toasted Israeli Couscous With Corn and Herbs Recipe

Agreed about the skewering it. I might cube it and make a keboby (kebobesque?) dish with alternating chicken, jalepeno, onion, and cherry tomatoes. Most people would probably choose bell pepper, but I’m not a huge fan.

I tend to be lazy when I cook for myself.
350 degrees for 30 minutes.
Maybe make some asparagus or broccoli as a side, if I’m feeling energetic.
