Description
This glazed chicken mango bowl features sticky, caramelized honey-soy chicken over fluffy jasmine rice topped with a bright fresh mango salsa.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 large boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1/4 cup soy sauce (low-sodium recommended)
- 3 tablespoons honey
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, grated
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- Salt and black pepper to taste
- 1 tablespoon neutral oil for searing
- 2 ripe but firm mangoes, diced small
- 1 red chili pepper, finely sliced (omit for mild)
- 2 tablespoons rice vinegar
- 1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
- Pinch of salt
- 1 cup jasmine rice, uncooked
- 2 cups water
- Sesame seeds and extra cilantro for garnish
Instructions
- Rinse the jasmine rice and cook according to package directions with a pinch of salt. Set aside and keep warm.
- Whisk together soy sauce, honey, minced garlic, grated ginger, and sesame oil in a small bowl until smooth. Set aside.
- Season both sides of the chicken breasts with salt and pepper. Heat a large skillet over medium-high with the neutral oil. Sear the chicken for 5 to 6 minutes per side until golden brown.
- Pour the honey-soy glaze over the chicken and reduce heat to medium. Spoon the glaze over the chicken every minute for 3 to 4 minutes until it turns sticky, glossy, and the internal temperature reaches 165 degrees F.
- Remove the chicken and rest for 5 minutes, then slice into strips against the grain.
- Combine diced mango, sliced chili, rice vinegar, and cilantro in a small bowl with a pinch of salt. Toss gently and adjust to taste.
- Divide rice among serving bowls. Fan the sliced glazed chicken over the rice and spoon the mango salsa alongside. Sprinkle with sesame seeds and extra cilantro.
