Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into bite-sized pieces
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce
  • 1 teaspoon cornstarch
  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
  • 1 cup fresh mango, diced
  • 1 red bell pepper, sliced
  • 1/2 cup snow peas
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon fresh ginger, grated
  • For the Sauce:
  • 1/4 cup mango juice
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil
  • 1 teaspoon cornstarch mixed with 1 tablespoon cold water (slurry)

Instructions

  1. In a bowl, toss the chicken pieces with 1 tablespoon soy sauce and 1 teaspoon cornstarch. Set aside for 10 minutes.
  2. Prepare the sauce by whisking together mango juice, 2 tablespoons soy sauce, rice vinegar, brown sugar, and sesame oil in a small bowl. Keep the cornstarch slurry aside for now.
  3. Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat.
  4. Add the seasoned chicken and cook until browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set it aside.
  5. Add the red bell pepper and snow peas to the same skillet. Stir fry for 2 minutes until slightly tender-crisp.
  6. Add the minced garlic and grated ginger. Cook for 30 seconds until fragrant.
  7. Return the cooked chicken to the skillet.
  8. Pour the prepared sauce mixture over the chicken and vegetables. Bring to a simmer.
  9. Stir the cornstarch slurry into the simmering sauce and cook, stirring constantly, until the sauce thickens, about 1 minute.
  10. Gently fold in the diced mango. Cook for just 1 minute to warm the mango through without letting it break down too much.
  11. Serve immediately over rice or noodles.

Notes

  • You can substitute chicken thighs for breasts if you prefer a richer flavor.
  • Use slightly under-ripe mango for firmer pieces that hold their shape better during cooking.
  • For an extra kick, add a pinch of red pepper flakes with the garlic and ginger.
