Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces chicken breasts
- 1 piece ripe mango
- 1 bunch asparagus
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 pieces garlic cloves, minced
- 1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
- 1 teaspoon honey
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro, chopped
Instructions
1. Begin by prepping the ingredients. Peel and dice the mango into bite-sized cubes. Wash and trim the woody ends of the asparagus. Set aside.
2. Season the chicken breasts on both sides with half of the salt and black pepper.
3. Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the chicken breasts and cook for 6-7 minutes per side, or until fully cooked (internal temperature of 165°F/74°C). Remove the chicken from the skillet and set it aside to rest.
4. In the same skillet, add the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Add the minced garlic and cook for 30 seconds until fragrant.
5. Add the asparagus to the skillet and sauté for 3-4 minutes, or until tender but still crisp.
6. Once the asparagus is cooked, reduce the heat to low and stir in the lime juice, honey, and remaining salt and pepper. Mix well to coat the asparagus.
7. Add the mango cubes to the skillet and toss gently to warm them through, about 1 minute.
8. Slice the cooked chicken breasts into thin strips. Plate the asparagus and mango mixture, then arrange the chicken slices on top.
9. Garnish with freshly chopped cilantro and serve immediately. Enjoy!
