How to Make Amazing Basil Chicken Low Fat

1. Lightly oil a large (12-inch) frying pan and set over medium heat.
2. Add 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts and cook until light golden brown, approximately 3-4 minutes per side.
3. Meanwhile, thinly slice 1/2 medium red onion.
4. Once chicken is golden, scatter the sliced red onion around the chicken in the pan.
5. Pour in 1/2 cup fresh orange juice.
6. Sprinkle with 1 tbsp dried basil, 1 tsp ground cumin, and 1/2 tsp salt.
7. Using a wooden spoon, scrape up and stir in any browned bits from the pan bottom.
8. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to medium-low.
9. Cover and simmer, turning chicken halfway through, until the chicken is cooked through and springy when pressed (approximately 6-8 minutes). Squeeze the juice of 1 lime over the chicken.
10. Remove chicken from the pan and place on dinner plates.
11. Increase heat to high.
12. Boil the pan juices, stirring often, until slightly thickened (about 2 minutes). Stir in 1/4 cup fresh basil leaves.
13. Drizzle the thickened sauce over the chicken.
14. Serve immediately with cooked jasmine rice and slices of fresh mango.
