Mango Chicken
Description
Mango Chicken combines chunks of boneless chicken breast cooked in vegetable oil until browned, with sautéed green and red bell peppers, garlic, and ginger. A sauce made from chicken broth, sugar, soy sauce, rice vinegar, and cornstarch is added and simmered until slightly thickened. Fresh mango chunks are folded in at the end to provide sweetness and a fresh contrast to the savory sauce.
The cooking technique involves cooking the chicken in batches to develop a lightly browned exterior while keeping the inside tender, then briefly cooking vegetables before combining with the flavorful sauce. The cornstarch helps the sauce thicken quickly and coat the ingredients evenly.
This dish can be served as a main course with rice or noodles, offering a mix of tender chicken, crisp-tender vegetables, and bright mango flavor in a glossy sauce that complements a variety of meals.
