It’s been a while since we’ve shared some of our awesome Fab With Five recipes. Looking through them today, I was excited to remember so many of them- I’ve got dinner ideas for weeks again! The following two recipes are from Lisa Huff at the Snappy Gourmet…chicken sliders and sweet potato fries! She also has a great mango coleslaw up on her website which would go quite well with this.

Sweet Heat Mango Chicken Sliders
By: Snappy Gourmet

1 lb ground chicken
1/4 cup Saucy Mama Sweet Heat Marinade, divided
Salt & Pepper to taste
Olive oil for pan
1 cup ripe mango, chopped
1/2 cup red onion, finely chopped
6 small rolls, split & toasted if desired

1. In a large mixing bowl gently combine ground chicken, 2 tablespoons marinade, and salt and pepper to taste. Form into 6 small patties.
2. Coat bottom of large skillet with oil and place over medium high-heat. When pan is hot, cook patties about 2-3 minutes per side or until cooked through.
3. Meanwhile, combined remaining marinade, mango, and red onion in small bowl.
4. Place cooked patties on bottom parts of rolls, top with mango onion mix, then top with top part of roll.

Makes 6 sliders

SNAPPY TIPS: You can make the patties ahead of time and cover tightly and refrigerate until ready to cook. The onion/mango topping can also be made ahead of time and refrigerated.

SNAPPY SUBSTITUTIONS: You could substitute other ground meats for the chicken such as pork, turkey, or beef. If you don’t like mango you could substitute other fruit such as ripe peaches, melon, etc.

Caribbean Sweet Potato Baked Fries & Tangy Apricot Dipping Sauce

4 sweet potatoes; peeled, sliced into 1/4-inch long slices, then cut into 1/4-inch wide strips
Olive oil
4 teaspoons Caribbean seasoning (or Caribbean Jerk seasoning)
3/4 cup plain yogurt
3 tablespoons Saucy Mama Apricot Ginger Mustard
3 tablespoons fresh cilantro, chopped

1. Preheat oven to 450 degrees F. Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
2. In a large mixing bowl toss sweet potatoes with enough olive oil to just coat potatoes.
3. Sprinkle potatoes with Caribbean seasoning then spread in single layer on baking sheets. Do not overcrowd potatoes.
4. Bake about 10-15 minutes then turn potatoes, and cook another 10 minutes or until tender and golden brown.
5. Meanwhile, in a small bowl mix together yogurt, mustard, and cilantro until well combined. Serve with fries for dipping.

SNAPPY TIPS: Sweet potatoes can be difficult to cut, so be very careful!

SNAPPY SUBSTITUTIONS: Some Caribbean seasonings are more spicy than others so you may need to change the amount to sprinkle on the potatoes for your personal taste. If you don’t like Caribbean seasoning use any of your favorite seasoning blends such as Lemon Pepper, Cajun, etc.
