Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 lb boneless skinless chicken thighs, cut into bite-sized pieces
  • 1 ripe mango peeled and diced
  • 1 red bell pepper sliced
  • 1 small red chili finely chopped
  • 3 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 tbsp fresh ginger grated
  • 3 tbsp soy sauce
  • 2 tbsp honey
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1/4 cup fresh cilantro chopped
  • 1 lime juiced
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Method
 

  1. Step 1: In a bowl, mix the chicken pieces with soy sauce, honey, minced garlic, and grated ginger. Let it marinate for 10 minutes.
  2. Step 2: Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the marinated chicken and cook until browned, about 5-7 minutes.
  3. Step 3: Add the sliced red bell pepper and chopped red chili to the skillet. Cook for another 3-4 minutes until the peppers are tender.
  4. Step 4: Stir in the diced mango and cook for 2 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together.
  5. Step 5: Squeeze lime juice over the chicken and mango mixture. Stir well to combine.
  6. Step 6: Season with salt and pepper to taste. Garnish with fresh cilantro before serving.
  7. Step 7: Serve hot with steamed rice or a side salad for a complete meal.

Notes

For extra heat, add more red chili or a dash of chili flakes. If mangoes are out of season, canned mango slices work well too.
