Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces (boneless, skinless) Chicken breast
- 1 bunch Asparagus
- 1 large (ripe) Mango
- 1 small (finely chopped) Red onion
- 0.25 cup (chopped) Cilantro
- 1 whole (juiced) Lime
- 1 small (optional, finely diced) Jalapeño
- 2 cloves (minced) Garlic
- 2 tablespoons Soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon Honey
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoon (or to taste) Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon (or to taste) Black pepper
Instructions
Cut the chicken breasts into bite-sized strips and season with salt, pepper, and 1 minced garlic clove.
Trim the tough ends of the asparagus and cut the stalks into 2-inch pieces. Set aside.
Peel the mango, remove the pit, and dice into small cubes. In a medium bowl, combine the mango, chopped red onion, cilantro, lime juice, optional jalapeño, and a pinch of salt. Mix well to create the mango salsa and set it aside.
In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, honey, and the remaining minced garlic to create a stir-fry sauce.
Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the chicken strips and cook for 5-7 minutes until golden brown and fully cooked. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
Add the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil to the skillet. Toss in the asparagus and stir-fry for 3-4 minutes until it turns bright green and slightly tender but still crisp.
Return the cooked chicken to the skillet and pour in the stir-fry sauce. Cook everything together for another 2-3 minutes, stirring to coat the chicken and asparagus evenly.
Remove the skillet from heat and plate the chicken and asparagus mixture. Top generously with the fresh mango salsa.
Serve immediately as is or alongside rice or quinoa for a more substantial meal. Enjoy your Mango Salsa Chicken Stir Fry Asparagus!
