Ingredients
Scale
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into bite-sized pieces
- 1 red bell pepper, sliced
- 1 yellow bell pepper, sliced
- 1 cup snap peas, trimmed
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, minced

- 1/4 cup soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
- 1 teaspoon cornstarch mixed with 2 teaspoons water
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Cooked rice or quinoa for serving
Instructions
- Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the chicken pieces and season with salt and pepper. Cook for about 5-7 minutes until the chicken is browned and cooked through. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
- In the same skillet, add the sliced bell peppers and snap peas. Stir-fry for 3-4 minutes until the vegetables are tender-crisp.
- Add the minced garlic and ginger to the skillet and stir-fry for an additional minute until fragrant.
- Return the cooked chicken to the skillet. Add the diced mango, soy sauce, honey, and rice vinegar. Stir to combine and cook for 2-3 minutes until heated through.
- Stir in the cornstarch mixture to thicken the sauce. Cook for another minute until the sauce has thickened.
- Serve the mango chicken stir-fry over cooked rice or quinoa.
Notes
- For a spicier kick, add red pepper flakes or sliced jalapeños while stir-frying the vegetables.
- Substitute the chicken with shrimp or tofu for a different protein option. You can also add other vegetables like broccoli or carrots based on your preference.
