Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound chicken breast
- 1 medium ripe mango
- 2 tablespoons lime juice
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 0.25 cup fresh cilantro
- 2 garlic clove
- 1 teaspoon chili powder
- 0.5 teaspoon cumin
- 0.5 teaspoon paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon sea salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Cut the chicken breast into bite-sized pieces and set aside.
Peel the mango, remove the pit, and dice the flesh into small cubes. Set aside.
In a large bowl, combine the lime juice, olive oil, minced garlic, chili powder, cumin, paprika, sea salt, and black pepper.
Add the chicken pieces to the bowl and toss to coat them evenly with the marinade. Allow the chicken to marinate for at least 10 minutes at room temperature.
Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the marinated chicken pieces to the skillet, cooking in batches if necessary to avoid overcrowding.
Cook the chicken for about 6-8 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through, stirring occasionally.
Add the mango pieces to the skillet and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, or until the mango softens slightly and is heated through.
Remove the skillet from the heat and sprinkle the dish with chopped fresh cilantro.
Serve the low-carb mango chicken warm, either on its own or with a side of greens or cauliflower rice.
