Instructions

  1. Prepare the marinade
    In a medium bowl, combine lime juice, honey, soy sauce, curry powder, half of the minced garlic, half of the grated ginger, and red pepper flakes. Whisk until well combined.
  2. Marinate the chicken
    Add the chicken cubes to the marinade, toss to coat evenly, and let marinate for at least 15 minutes (or up to 2 hours in the refrigerator for more flavor).
  3. Cook the chicken
    Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Remove the chicken from the marinade (reserve the marinade) and cook for 5-6 minutes until golden brown and cooked through. Transfer to a plate.
  4. Sauté the vegetables
    In the same skillet, add the remaining tablespoon of oil. Add the red onion and cook for 2 minutes until softened. Add the remaining garlic and ginger, cook for 30 seconds until fragrant. Add the bell pepper and sauté for another 2-3 minutes.
  5. Create the mango sauce
    Add 3/4 of the diced mango to the skillet and cook for 2 minutes until slightly softened. Pour in the reserved marinade and bring to a simmer for 3-4 minutes until slightly thickened, stirring occasionally.
  6. Combine and finish
    Return the chicken to the skillet, add the remaining fresh mango pieces, and gently stir to combine. Cook for 2 more minutes until everything is heated through. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  7. Garnish and serve
    Remove from heat, sprinkle with chopped cilantro. Serve hot over steamed rice or with naan bread for a complete meal.
