Ingredients

• 2 pieces (boneless, skinless) chicken breasts
• 1 large (peeled and diced) ripe mango
• 2 tablespoons low-sodium soy sauce
• 2 tablespoons honey
• 1.5 tablespoons ketchup
• 1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 2 tablespoons water
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
• 4 cups (for serving) cooked white rice

Directions

Step 1

Dice the chicken breasts into small, bite-sized pieces and season with salt and black pepper.

Step 2

Peel and dice the mango, setting aside about 3 tablespoons of diced mango for garnish.

Step 3

In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, honey, ketchup, lime juice, garlic powder, and water to create the sauce.

Step 4

Heat the olive oil in a large nonstick skillet or pan over medium heat.

Step 5

Add the seasoned chicken pieces to the skillet and cook for about 4-5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the chicken is browned on the edges but not fully cooked through.

Step 6

Add the diced mango (except the reserved garnish) to the skillet and pour in the sauce mixture.

Step 7

Stir well and let the mixture simmer on medium-low heat for about 10-12 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the chicken is fully cooked and the sauce thickens slightly.

Step 8

Taste the sauce and adjust seasonings if needed (add a pinch of salt or more honey for sweetness).

Step 9

Remove the skillet from heat and let cool slightly before serving.

Step 10

Serve the mango chicken over cooked white rice, garnished with the reserved diced mango for a pop of color and extra sweetness.
