Description
A quick recipe for chicken pieces cooked with fresh mango in a light sauce.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breast, cut into 1-inch pieces
- 1 large ripe mango, peeled and diced
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
- 1/2 cup chicken broth
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon grated fresh ginger
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Mix the cornstarch with the chicken broth until smooth. Set aside.
- Season the chicken pieces with salt and pepper.
- Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat.
- Add the chicken and cook until browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes. Remove chicken from the skillet and set aside.
- Add the minced garlic and grated ginger to the skillet. Cook for 30 seconds until fragrant.
- Pour in the soy sauce and the cornstarch mixture. Stir constantly until the sauce thickens.
- Return the cooked chicken to the skillet. Toss to coat with the sauce.
- Gently fold in the diced mango. Cook for 1 minute, just to heat the mango through. Do not overcook.
- Serve immediately.
Notes
- You can substitute fresh lime juice for a brighter flavor in the sauce.
- If you prefer a spicier dish, add a pinch of red pepper flakes with the garlic.
