Ingredients
For the Stir-Fry
2 chicken breast halves, sliced into thin strips
2 small mango, sliced into thick and large strips
1 green pepper, sliced into thin strips
1 tbsp oil
2 green onions, thinly sliced
For the Sauce
4 tbsp Thai sweet chili sauce
1 tbsp fish sauce
1 tbsp fresh lime juice
Instructions
-
Make the Sauce
In a small bowl, whisk together Thai sweet chili sauce, fish sauce, and lime juice. Set aside. -
Prepare the Chicken
Slice the chicken breast into thin strips and pat dry with paper towels for even cooking and a nice sear. -
Slice the Mango and Vegetables
Slice mango into thick, sturdy strips. Cut the green pepper into thin strips and slice green onions finely. -
Stir-Fry the Chicken
Heat oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add chicken strips and cook for 5–7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until golden and cooked through. -
Add the Vegetables
Add green pepper and green onion. Stir-fry for 2–3 minutes until the vegetables are tender-crisp. -
Add the Sauce
Pour the prepared sauce into the skillet. Stir everything together to coat evenly. Let it simmer for 1 minute so the sauce thickens slightly and clings to the ingredients. -
Finish with Mango
Gently add the mango strips and fold them in carefully. Let them warm through for 1–2 minutes without over-stirring to maintain their shape.
