Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces chicken breasts
- 2 large ripe mangoes
- 3 tablespoons soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1 large lime
- 3 pieces garlic cloves
- 1 teaspoon ground ginger
- 2 tablespoons cooking oil
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Peel and dice the mangoes, reserving some slices or small cubes for garnish if desired.
In a blender, combine the diced mangoes, soy sauce, honey, juice of the lime, minced garlic, and ground ginger. Blend until smooth to create the mango sauce.
Season the chicken breasts with salt and black pepper on both sides.
Heat the cooking oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Add the chicken breasts to the skillet and cook for 5-6 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
Pour the mango sauce into the same skillet and bring it to a simmer, stirring occasionally, for 3-4 minutes until slightly thickened.
Return the chicken breasts to the skillet, coating them in the mango sauce. Simmer for an additional 3-4 minutes to allow the flavors to absorb.
Remove the skillet from heat and let the dish rest for a couple of minutes.
Garnish with fresh cilantro and reserved mango slices, if desired, before serving.
Serve warm, paired with steamed rice or sautéed vegetables for a complete meal.
