Ingredients
- 2 Chicken breasts
- 1 cup Ripe mango puree
- 1/4 cup Soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons Honey
- 2 cloves Garlic (minced)
- 1 teaspoon Ginger (fresh or powdered)
- 2 tablespoons Lime juice
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Green onions (for garnish)
Instructions
- Start by marinating your chicken breasts in a mixture of soy sauce, minced garlic, ginger, and lime juice. Let it sit for at least 10 minutes to soak up the flavors.
- While the chicken marinates, prepare the mango glaze by combining mango puree, honey, and a touch of salt in a bowl. Mix until smooth.
- Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the marinated chicken, cooking for about 6-7 minutes on each side until golden brown and the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C).
- Pour the mango glaze over the chicken in the skillet and let it simmer for a couple of minutes, allowing it to thicken slightly and coat the chicken.
- Remove from heat and garnish with chopped green onions before serving.
Notes
For an extra layer of flavor, marinate the chicken longer, up to 2 hours or overnight. You can also experiment with different fruits or proteins.
