Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Chicken breasts
- 2 cups Fresh mangoes, diced
- 1 medium Red bell pepper, sliced
- 3 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
- 1 tablespoon Ginger, grated
- 2 tablespoons Soy sauce (low sodium)
- 2 tablespoons Lime juice
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon Ground coriander
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.25 cup Fresh cilantro, chopped
Instructions
Begin by preparing the chicken breasts. Carefully trim any excess fat and pat them dry with a paper towel.
In a large bowl, combine the diced mangoes, minced garlic, grated ginger, soy sauce, and lime juice. Stir well to blend the flavors.
Add the chicken breasts to the bowl, ensuring they are well coated with the mango mixture. Allow them to marinate for at least 15 minutes.
While the chicken is marinating, heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Add the sliced red bell pepper to the skillet and sauté for about 3-4 minutes until they begin to soften. Remove the peppers from the skillet and set aside.
Remove the chicken from the marinade, saving the marinade for later. Place the chicken into the hot skillet and cook for 5-6 minutes on each side, until the chicken is golden brown and cooked through.
Once the chicken is cooked, pour the reserved marinade into the skillet along with the sautéed red bell peppers, ground cumin, ground coriander, salt, and black pepper.
Reduce the heat to low and simmer for 5-7 minutes, allowing the sauce to thicken slightly.
Once the sauce has thickened, turn off the heat. Sprinkle the chopped fresh cilantro on top.
Serve the Sugar-Free Mango Chicken with a side of your choice, such as steamed rice or a fresh salad. Enjoy!
