Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound Boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 cup Fresh mango, peeled and diced
- 3 cloves Garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon Fresh ginger, minced
- 2 tablespoons Honey
- 2 tablespoons Apple cider vinegar
- 1 cup Low sodium chicken broth
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Chili powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Green onions, sliced
- 2 tablespoons Fresh cilantro, chopped
Instructions
Begin by cutting the chicken breasts into bite-sized pieces.
In a large skillet or frying pan, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat.
Add the garlic and ginger to the pan, sautéing for about 1 minute until fragrant.
Add the chicken pieces to the skillet, and cook for approximately 5-6 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the chicken is golden brown on all sides.
In a small bowl, mix together the honey, apple cider vinegar, chili powder, and black pepper.
Pour this mixture over the chicken in the skillet.
Add the diced mango and low sodium chicken broth to the skillet, and stir to combine evenly.
Reduce the heat to medium-low and cover the skillet with a lid.
Allow the mixture to simmer for about 10-15 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through and the sauce has thickened slightly.
Remove the lid and increase the heat to medium-high if you prefer a thicker sauce. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until desired consistency is reached.
Garnish the mango chicken with sliced green onions and chopped cilantro before serving.
Serve the low sodium mango chicken over steamed rice or with your choice of side.
