Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 4 pieces boneless, skinless chicken thighs or breasts
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon pepper
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 2 tablespoons olive oil or sesame oil
- 1 large ripe mango
- 1/4 cup low-sodium soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup
- 2 tablespoons rice vinegar or lime juice
- 1 tablespoon fresh grated ginger
- 1/2 teaspoon chili flakes
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
Instructions
Preparation
- Start by seasoning the chicken thighs or breasts with salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Ensure that the spices are evenly distributed.
- In a large skillet, heat the olive oil or sesame oil over medium-high heat. Add the seasoned chicken pieces to the pan and brown them on both sides until golden.
- While the chicken cooks, cut the mango into small pieces, discarding the pit and skin. Set this aside.
- Once the chicken is browned, lower the heat and add the diced mango to the skillet. In a bowl, combine soy sauce, honey or maple syrup, rice vinegar or lime juice, grated ginger, and chili flakes. Whisk until blended.
- Pour the sauce over the chicken and mango. Allow it to simmer gently, frequently spooning the sauce over the chicken.
- To thicken the glaze, mix the cornstarch with a small amount of water and stir into the skillet until the sauce thickens.
