I recently partnered with The Original GreenPan to make this recipe! I have been loving this pan! While making this Buttermilk Mango Cilantro Chicken recipe, this pan delivered results that blew my mind!

The Original GreenPan company is a Belgian brand that sought out a healthier option for non-stick pots and pans healthy! Several chemicals are used in making traditional non-stick cookware that can seep into your food during the cooking process. With GreenPan, I have solace and peace of mind knowing that my food will be cooked to perfection and will not have any harmful chemicals.

I used these pans quite a bit prior to writing this review. I would never endorse a product that I do not find worth your time and money. My cooking experience has completely changed since using GreenPan products. These pans are heat quickly, evenly distribute heat across the pan so that the food cooks evenly and thoroughly, and are easy to clean! Best of all - there are no chemicals that will leak into my food!

I chose to marinate the chicken in buttermilk to tenderize the chicken and develop flavor. You do not have to let the chicken sit overnight, but I highly recommend it!
