• Onion: Adds a sweet and savory flavor to dishes.
• Green pepper: Brings a crunchy and colorful texture to the dish with a slight bitterness.

How to Make Chicken Mango Stir-Fry

Step 1. Make the sauce first.

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.

Step 2. Slice chicken breast

Slice the chicken breast into thin, long strips to match the mango strips or cut them into any size you desire.

Step 3. Cut mango and green pepper

You can cut the pepper and mango into the same size as the chicken strips. However, I would suggest cutting the mango slightly thicker to prevent them from breaking easily as you stir-fry.

Step 4. Stir-fry

Start by stir-frying the chicken first, then add the green pepper and cook until they reach a crisp-tender consistency. Finally, add the sauce to the pan and stir everything together.

Step 5. Add mango slices

Lastly, add the mango slices and green onion to the pan, and toss everything together to coat well. And that’s all there is to it!
