Ingredients
Scale
1.5 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs, cut into bite-sized pieces
1 cup mango chutney
1/4 cup soy sauce
2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
1 tablespoon fresh ginger, minced
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
Salt and pepper to taste
Fresh cilantro, chopped, for garnish
Instructions
Season the chicken pieces lightly with salt and pepper.
Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Add the chicken to the skillet and cook until browned on all sides and nearly cooked through. Remove the chicken and set it aside.
In the same skillet, combine the mango chutney, soy sauce, apple cider vinegar, minced ginger, minced garlic, cumin, and red pepper flakes (if using).
Bring the sauce to a simmer, stirring constantly until it thickens slightly, about 3 to 5 minutes.
Return the cooked chicken to the skillet. Toss to coat the chicken completely in the mango chutney sauce.
Continue to cook for another 2 to 3 minutes, allowing the sauce to fully adhere to the chicken and the chicken to finish cooking.
Taste the sauce and adjust seasoning if needed.
Serve the Mango Chutney Chicken hot, garnished with fresh chopped cilantro.
Notes
You can use chicken thighs for a richer flavor.
Serve this dish over steamed rice or with a side of naan bread.
Adjust the red pepper flakes to control the heat level to your liking.
