Ingredients

• 4 pieces Chicken breasts
• 2 cups Fresh mangoes, diced
• 1 large Red bell pepper, thinly sliced
• 3 cloves Garlic, minced
• 1 tablespoon Ginger, minced
• 3 tablespoons Soy sauce
• 2 tablespoons Honey
• 2 tablespoons Lime juice
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 0.5 teaspoons Salt
• 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
• 2 tablespoons Fresh cilantro, chopped
• 0.5 teaspoons Red chili flakes (optional)
• 0.25 cup Water

Directions

Step 1

Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.

Step 2

Season the chicken breasts on both sides with salt and black pepper, then cook them in the skillet for 5-7 minutes per side or until they are golden brown and fully cooked. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set it aside.

Step 3

In the same skillet, add the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil and sauté the minced garlic and ginger for about 1 minute until fragrant.

Step 4

Add the sliced red bell pepper and cook for 3-4 minutes until slightly softened.

Step 5

Stir in the diced mangoes, soy sauce, honey, lime juice, water, and optional red chili flakes. Mix well and let the sauce simmer for about 3-5 minutes until it thickens slightly.

Step 6

Return the cooked chicken breasts to the skillet, spooning the mango-red pepper sauce over them. Let the chicken simmer in the sauce for another 5 minutes to absorb the flavors.

Step 7

Sprinkle fresh cilantro on top as garnish and serve hot. This dish pairs well with steamed rice or quinoa.
