- Add chicken pieces and raisins to the pan and return to a low simmer.
- Cover the pan with a lid and cook the gravy for 8 to 10 minutes, until the chicken is done.
- Then, add the remaining chopped mango into the pan and stir in the cream, if using.
- Keep the pan uncovered and cook at a very low temperature for around two more minutes.
- DO NOT allow it to boil or the cream may curdle!
