Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Chicken breasts
- 2 cups Fresh mangoes, diced
- 1 large Red bell pepper, thinly sliced
- 3 cloves Garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon Ginger, minced
- 3 tablespoons Soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons Honey
- 2 tablespoons Lime juice
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Fresh cilantro, chopped
- 0.5 teaspoons Red chili flakes (optional)
- 0.25 cup Water
Instructions
Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Season the chicken breasts on both sides with salt and black pepper, then cook them in the skillet for 5-7 minutes per side or until they are golden brown and fully cooked. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set it aside.
In the same skillet, add the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil and sauté the minced garlic and ginger for about 1 minute until fragrant.
Add the sliced red bell pepper and cook for 3-4 minutes until slightly softened.
Stir in the diced mangoes, soy sauce, honey, lime juice, water, and optional red chili flakes. Mix well and let the sauce simmer for about 3-5 minutes until it thickens slightly.
Return the cooked chicken breasts to the skillet, spooning the mango-red pepper sauce over them. Let the chicken simmer in the sauce for another 5 minutes to absorb the flavors.
Sprinkle fresh cilantro on top as garnish and serve hot. This dish pairs well with steamed rice or quinoa.
