Ingredients
- 1 pound chicken breast
- 1 medium ripe mango
- 2 tablespoons lime juice
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 0.25 cup fresh cilantro
- 2 garlic clove
- 1 teaspoon chili powder
- 0.5 teaspoon cumin
- 0.5 teaspoon paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon sea salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
Directions
Step 1
Cut the chicken breast into bite-sized pieces and set aside.
Step 2
Peel the mango, remove the pit, and dice the flesh into small cubes. Set aside.
Step 3
In a large bowl, combine the lime juice, olive oil, minced garlic, chili powder, cumin, paprika, sea salt, and black pepper.
Step 4
Add the chicken pieces to the bowl and toss to coat them evenly with the marinade. Allow the chicken to marinate for at least 10 minutes at room temperature.
Step 5
Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the marinated chicken pieces to the skillet, cooking in batches if necessary to avoid overcrowding.
Step 6
Cook the chicken for about 6-8 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through, stirring occasionally.
Step 7
Add the mango pieces to the skillet and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, or until the mango softens slightly and is heated through.
Step 8
Remove the skillet from the heat and sprinkle the dish with chopped fresh cilantro.
Step 9
Serve the low-carb mango chicken warm, either on its own or with a side of greens or cauliflower rice.
