Ingredients
Main ingredients
- 2 chicken breast halves sliced thin
- 2 small mangoes cut into thick, large strips
- 1 green pepper sliced thin
- 1 tablespoon oil for stir-frying and coating everything
- 2 green onions thinly sliced
- 4 tablespoon Thai sweet chili sauce
- 1 tablespoon fish sauce
- 1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
Instructions
Instructions
- Mix Thai sweet chili sauce, fish sauce, and lime juice in a small bowl. Make sure to mix well and set aside for later use.
- Heat oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Start by stir-frying the chicken first until cooked and lightly browned (about 5-7 minutes).
- Toss in the green pepper slices and cook for another 2-3 minutes till they get just a little tender but still crisp.
- Stir in the Thai sweet chili sauce, fish sauce, and lime juice. Mix it all well so everything’s coated in that sweet-spicy-limey goodness.
- Carefully add the mango slices and green onions. Gently stir to combine without breaking up the mango. Let it cook an extra 1-2 minutes so the mango warms through but stays firm.
- Remove from heat and serve immediately with steamed rice or noodles.
Notes
Use pre-sliced chicken strips to save time. Swap fresh mango for frozen if needed. Store leftovers in an airtight container for 3-4 days in the fridge or up to 2 months in the freezer. Reheat gently with a splash of water or broth to keep chicken juicy.
