Directions

Step 1

Peel and dice the mango into small cubes and set aside.

Mince the garlic cloves finely and place them in a small bowl.

In the same bowl, add the soy sauce, honey, half of the olive oil, black pepper, and salt. Mix to combine.

Add the marinated chicken pieces to the skillet, discarding any excess marinade before adding, and cook for about 6-8 minutes, stirring occasionally until the chicken is browned and cooked through.

Add the bell pepper strips to the pan and cook for another 3-4 minutes until the peppers are tender.

Step 10

Gently fold in the diced mango and cook for an additional 2 minutes until the mango is warmed through.
