Chicken Mango Stir Fry

This mango chicken is a combination of seared chicken breast, bell peppers, and fresh mango, with delicious Asian-style flavors.

Chicken with mango is a wonderful summer dish using all fresh ingredients and the alternative for winter months is using frozen to keep summer alive all year round.

Mango with chicken is an unusual pairing, but the flavor combination is perfect, and if you're not a big fan of mango by all means substitute one from our list below.

This whole one-pan meal can be on the table in less than 30 minutes and even the kids loved this sweet and savory dinner they even had second helpings!

The end result is a tropical-tasting meal we usually serve over jasmine rice, make a rice bowl, or with some quick cooking noodles.

If you haven't tried mixing meats or seafood with fruit, this is the easiest first dish to try out..

Everyone always raves about this meal and living in Florida I love trying this out on my friends and family when hosting a party, I always get rave reviews.

Another bonus in this recipe is you can use pork, beef, and any seafood from Mahi Mahi to shellfish like shrimp the sweetness of the mango compliments any of them.

One Pan Meals:

This meal just shouts summer and when mango is in season this is the first skillet-style recipe we make.

Some Tips

This can be served with rice, noodles (or another pasta you prefer) quinoa, or even fried cabbage.

This sweet and savory meal can be made in less than 25 minutes and is super easy!

The chicken is so tender and stays juicy and the mango gives just the perfect sweetness.

If using other meats the time for cooking the meat or shellfish will vary.
