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

Directions

Step 1

Start by peeling and dicing the mangoes into small cubes. Set aside.

Step 2

In a bowl, combine lime juice, soy sauce, honey, minced garlic, grated ginger, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to create the marinade.

Step 3

Cut the chicken breasts into bite-sized pieces and place them in a shallow dish.

Step 4

Pour the marinade over the chicken pieces, ensuring they are well-coated. Let them marinate for at least 15 minutes.

Step 5

In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the chicken pieces, discarding the excess marinade.

Step 6

Cook the chicken for 12-15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the chicken is cooked through and golden brown.

Step 7

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.

Step 8

Adjust seasoning if needed.

Step 9

Remove the skillet from heat and garnish the mango chicken with freshly chopped cilantro.

Step 10

Serve the mango chicken hot, optionally over steamed rice or quinoa.
