• Salt and pepper, to taste
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 ripe mango, peeled and chopped or 3/4 cup mango puree
• 2 tablespoons low sodium soy sauce
• 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup
• 1 tablespoon rice vinegar or lime juice
• 2 garlic cloves, minced
• 1/2 teaspoon fresh grated ginger
• 1/2 teaspoon chili flakes, optional
• 1 teaspoon cornstarch mixed with 2 tablespoons water for thickening
• Steamed jasmine rice or rice noodles

Instructions
1. Begin by preparing the mango glaze. Blend the ripe mango until smooth, then pour the mango puree into a saucepan. Add soy sauce, honey, rice vinegar, minced garlic, grated ginger, and chili flakes. Let this simmer for 5-6 minutes. Finally, stir in the cornstarch slurry and cook until the glaze thickens to your liking.
2. While the glaze is simmering, season your chicken pieces with salt, pepper, and garlic powder. In a skillet, heat oil over medium heat. Add the chicken and sauté for 6-8 minutes, or until the pieces are golden brown and cooked through.
3. Lower the heat and pour your delicious mango glaze over the chicken, tossing to coat. Allow this to simmer for 2-3 minutes, letting those flavors meld together beautifully.
4. Serve your fabulous mango glazed chicken over a bed of steamed rice or noodles. Top it off with sliced green onions, toasted sesame seeds, and a sprinkle of fresh herbs. Don’t forget a squeeze of lime for that extra zing!
