Ingredients for Guava-Stuffed Chicken with Caramelized Mango

• 180ml de aceite de oliva

• 60ml de jugo de limón fresco

• 6 dientes de ajo, picados

• 3 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley

• 2 tablespoons fresh thyme leaves

• 6 large skinless boneless chicken breast halves

• 90g cream cheese, room temperature

• 2 tablespoons guava paste* (about 45g )

• 70g fresh spinach leaves, chopped (2 cups loosely packed)

• 2 cucharadas de aceite de canola

• 120ml de vino blanco seco

• 120ml low-salt chicken broth

• 4 tablespoons (1/2 stick) butter

• 1 large mango, halved, pitted, peeled, cut into 1/2-inch-thick slices

Whisk first 5 ingredients in large bowl. Add chicken breasts; turn to coat. Cover chicken breasts and chill 3 to 4 hours, turning occasionally.

Whisk cream cheese and guava paste in medium bowl to blend. Stir in spinach. Cover and chill to firm slightly, at least 2 hours. Transfer to pastry bag.

Remove 1 chicken breast from marinade, scraping excess marinade back into bowl. Insert small sharp knife into 1 side of chicken breast; move knife in arc to create large pocket, keeping opening about 1 1/2 inches long. Repeat with remaining chicken. Pipe filling through openings in chicken breasts to fill pockets. Close openings with metal turkey pins or toothpicks. (Can be made 4 hours ahead. Cover and chill.)

Heat 1 tablespoon canola oil in each of 2 heavy large skillets over medium heat. Add 3 chicken breasts to each skillet. Cook chicken until brown, about 3 minutes per side. Transfer to plate. Transfer any juices from 1 skillet into second skillet. Add wine and broth to second skillet. Bring to boil. Add chicken breasts to wine mixture in skillet. Cover skillet; reduce heat to medium and simmer until chicken is cooked through, basting occasionally, about 10 minutes. Transfer chicken to work surface; let stand 10 minutes.

Meanwhile, melt butter in another heavy large skillet over medium-high heat. Add mango slices and sauté until brown, about 2 minutes per side.

Slice chicken diagonally into 1/2-inch-thick slices. Arrange chicken on platter. Boil juices in skillet until slightly thickened and sauce is reduced to 180ml , about 3 minutes. Drizzle sauce over chicken and surround with mango.
