Ingredients
  

1 lb (450g) boneless, skinless chicken breast, cut into bite-sized pieces

1 ripe mango, diced into small cubes

1/4 cup sweet chili sauce

2 tablespoons soy sauce

1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lime juice

2 cloves garlic, finely minced

1 teaspoon fresh ginger, grated

1 tablespoon olive oil

Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste

1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped (for garnish)

Optional: sesame seeds for an added crunch and garnish

Instructions
 

Marinate the Chicken: In a mixing bowl, whisk together the sweet chili sauce, soy sauce, lime juice, minced garlic, grated ginger, and a pinch of salt and pepper until well combined. Add the chicken pieces to the bowl, ensuring they are evenly coated in the marinade. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and place it in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes, or up to 1 hour for maximum flavor.

    Cook the Chicken: In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Remove the chicken from the marinade, reserving the marinade for later use. Carefully add the chicken pieces to the skillet in a single layer, making sure not to overcrowd the pan. Cook for about 5-6 minutes, allowing the chicken to brown nicely on one side.

      Add Mango and Glaze: Gently flip the chicken pieces over in the skillet. Add the diced mango and pour the reserved marinade over the chicken and mango. Continue to cook for an additional 4-5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Cook until the chicken is fully cooked through (ensure the internal temperature reaches 165°F/75°C) and the sauce has thickened slightly.

        Serve: Once cooked, remove the skillet from heat. Garnish the chicken and mango with freshly chopped cilantro and sprinkle sesame seeds over the top if desired. These bites can be enjoyed warm as an appetizer or served over a fluffy bed of rice for a delightful main course.

          Enjoy: For an extra burst of freshness, serve the Sweet Chili Mango Chicken Bites with lime wedges on the side.
