Instructions
Creating Sweet & Savory Asian Mango Glazed Chicken is simple and enjoyable when you follow these easy steps:
1. Prepare the Chicken: Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper on both sides.
2. Make the Marinade: In a bowl, whisk together soy sauce, honey, rice vinegar, garlic, ginger, and sesame oil.
3. Marinate the Chicken: Place the chicken in a resealable plastic bag or a shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the chicken and let it marinate for at least 15 minutes, or up to 2 hours for deeper flavor.
4. Cook the Chicken: Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the marinated chicken breasts to the pan and cook for 5-7 minutes on each side, or until cooked through and golden brown.
5. Prepare the Mango Glaze: While the chicken is cooking, blend the diced mango, honey, and a splash of water until smooth. In a small saucepan, heat the mixture over medium heat. In a separate bowl, mix cornstarch with water to create a slurry, then add it to the mango mixture to thicken the glaze. Stir until the glaze is bubbly and thick.
6. Glaze the Chicken: Once the chicken is cooked, pour the mango glaze over the chicken in the skillet. Let it simmer for an additional 2-3 minutes, allowing the chicken to absorb the flavors.
7. Garnish and Serve: Remove the skillet from heat. Garnish the chicken with fresh cilantro and sesame seeds for an added touch of flavor and presentation.
