Ingredients

• 1 lb (450g) boneless chicken breast, sliced into thin strips
• 1 ripe mango, diced
• 1 bell pepper (any color), sliced
• 1 onion, sliced
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 thumb-sized piece of ginger, grated
• 2 tablespoons soy sauce
• 1 tablespoon honey
• 1 tablespoon sriracha sauce (or more, to taste)
• 2 tablespoons olive oil (or any cooking oil)
• Salt and pepper to taste
• 1 tablespoon sesame seeds (for garnish)
• Fresh cilantro or green onions (for garnish)

Cooking Instructions

1. Marinate the Chicken: In a medium bowl, combine the chicken strips with soy sauce, honey, and sriracha sauce. Let it marinate for at least 15 minutes.

2. Cook the Chicken: Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the marinated chicken and cook until golden brown and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes. Remove from the pan and set aside.

3. Stir-Fry Veggies: In the same skillet, add another tablespoon of olive oil, garlic, and ginger. Stir-fry for about 30 seconds until fragrant. Throw in the bell pepper and onion, cooking until they are tender but still crisp, about 3-4 minutes.

4. Add Mango and Chicken: Return the cooked chicken to the pan, along with the diced mango. Stir everything together and let it cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.

5. Season: Taste and season with salt and pepper, and additional sriracha if you like it spicier.

6. Garnish and Serve: Remove from heat, sprinkle with sesame seeds and chopped cilantro or green onions. Serve hot over rice or noodles, if desired.
