Cut the chicken breasts into bite-sized pieces and set aside.
Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet or pot over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and cook until softened, about 3-4 minutes.
Add the grated ginger, minced garlic, and curry powder, garam masala, and turmeric. Stir well and cook for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
Add the chicken pieces to the skillet and cook until lightly browned on all sides, about 5-6 minutes.
Stir in the chopped red bell pepper and cook for another 3 minutes.
Add the diced mango, coconut milk, lime juice, salt, and black pepper to the skillet. Mix well to combine.
Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer, then lower the heat to medium-low. Cover and let cook for 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the chicken is cooked through and the flavors meld together.
Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.
Optional: Garnish with fresh cilantro before serving.
To freeze for OAMC (Once a Month Cooking): Let the mango curry chicken cool completely. Portion into freezer-safe containers or resealable bags, label with the date, and freeze. To reheat, thaw overnight in the fridge and warm on the stovetop or in the microwave until heated through.
