A delicious mango glaze transforms ordinary chicken breasts into a restaurant-worthy dish that’s sweet, savory, and perfect for weeknights.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 chicken breasts (boneless, skinless)
  • 1 cup mango puree (store-bought or homemade)
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce (use low-sodium if preferred)
  • 2 tablespoons honey (maple syrup works as a substitute)
  • 2 teaspoons fresh ginger, grated
  • 1 teaspoon garlic, minced
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Vegetable oil for cooking (neutral oil like canola or sunflower)
  • Sesame seeds for garnish
  • Green onions, chopped for garnish

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) if you plan to bake, or heat a heavy skillet over medium heat for searing.
  2. Whisk together the mango puree, soy sauce, honey, grated ginger, and minced garlic until smooth. Adjust salt or honey if needed.
  3. Pat the chicken breasts dry and season both sides with salt and pepper.
  4. If baking: place the breasts in a lightly oiled baking dish, brush with the mango glaze, and bake for 25 to 30 minutes, brushing once or twice more with glaze.
  5. If skillet-searing: add vegetable oil to the hot pan, sear the breasts for 6 to 7 minutes per side, brushing with glaze during the last few minutes.
  6. Remove the chicken from heat and let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing.
  7. Plate the sliced chicken, drizzle with remaining glaze, and sprinkle with sesame seeds and green onions.

Notes

Pound chicken to an even thickness for uniform cooking. For gluten-free, use tamari instead of soy sauce.
