Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces boneless chicken breasts
- 2 pieces ripe mangoes
- 2 tablespoons lime juice
- 3 tablespoons soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 3 pieces garlic cloves
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoon fresh ginger
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons cilantro
- 0.5 teaspoon red chili flakes
Instructions
Start by peeling and dicing the mangoes into small cubes. Set aside.
In a bowl, combine lime juice, soy sauce, honey, minced garlic, grated ginger, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to create the marinade.
Cut the chicken breasts into bite-sized pieces and place them in a shallow dish.
Pour the marinade over the chicken pieces, ensuring they are well-coated. Let them marinate for at least 15 minutes.
In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the chicken pieces, discarding the excess marinade.
Cook the chicken for 12-15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the chicken is cooked through and golden brown.
Add the diced mangoes and red chili flakes to the skillet and continue to cook for an additional 5 minutes, allowing the mangoes to soften and the flavors to meld.
Adjust seasoning if needed.
Remove the skillet from heat and garnish the mango chicken with freshly chopped cilantro.
Serve the mango chicken hot, optionally over steamed rice or quinoa.
