Chicken with Tetley Green Tea Spice Rub and Mango

Submitted By: Amanda from Lane Cove, NSW

3 tea bags Tetley Green Tea
2 tbsp (25 ml) sesame seeds
2 tbsp (25 ml) ground Chinese five-spice blend
1-1/2 tsp (7 ml) brown sugar
1/2 tsp (2 ml) each salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 large firm mango
3 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
2 tbsp (25 ml) toasted sesame oil
Cilantro leaves

1. To make the Tetley Green Tea Spice Rub, remove tea leaves from Tetley Green Tea bags and place in a shallow wide bowl. Stir in sesame seeds, Chinese five-spice blend, brown sugar, salt and pepper.
2. Peel mango and cut into 36 (3/4)inch (2 cm) cubes.
3. On a cutting board, cut each chicken breast lengthwise into two thin pieces. Brush chicken breast halves on both sides with sesame oil and lightly dip in Tetley Green Tea Spice Rub to coat evenly.
4. Heat a heavy skillet over medium-high heat and cook chicken, about 2 to 3 minutes per side, or until just cooked through. Transfer to a cutting board. Cut each chicken piece into six ½-inch (1 cm) diagonal strips. Thread chicken strips onto bamboo skewers and place a cube of mango on each end.
5. Line a serving plate with cilantro leaves and arrange chicken skewers on top.
6. Tip: Make extra batches of the Tetley Green Tea Spice Rub. Keep it on hand to flavour chicken, beef and pork when grilling on the barbecue.
