As much as I like to try out new recipes, I always fall back on simple stirfry dishes for many of our family dinners. When time is short and it always seems like everything needs to get done right around the dinner time, i find it’s easy to stir fry up some chicken or tofu, throw in some vegetables, and add some seasoning or sauce to bring it all together. Today’s dish is something like that in which I added mango.
I not only enjoy mango as a fruit but also relish in sweet and savory dishes. The bold and sweet flavor of mango is simply irresistible in any form.
The recipe I am sharing is fairly simple and personal favorite of mine. It uses mango, chicken and asian condiments. I love how easy this is to make. Once you have cut up all chicken, mango and peppers, it’s just a case of browning the chicken and then adding the peppers, mango and all the sauces. Cook briefly to let the flavors all blend together. It’s sweet and tangy, and, depending on how much chili you use, it can have a little heat, too.
This recipe is great for weeknight dinner or packed lunches. I served it up over fried rice and with some lettuce salad.
Mango Chicken

1 1/2 green bell peppers, cut into 1″ pieces

I love this stir fry and wonder why I have never had the idea to include mangoes in my frequent stir-fries. It sounds so obvious when I look at your lovely photos! I preserve mangoes every year in a kind of simply chutney (with vinegar and chili) and use it all year round, very often with… chicken! In short, I’m sure I would love this dish.
Congratulations for the award and thank you for visiting my blog. I’m very glad I have discovered yours!

Congrats on the blog awards and seeing the recipe you have shared. I have this high liking for mangoes and over here, we get so many varieties that at times I am lost on which one to buy.
I have to agree with you on mangoes and chicken being a lovely combo and all the more, the spicy flavors added, coming from pepper and chilly flakes. Loving it all the way.

Your mango stir fry looks like a nice fresh dish for me to try. I have been using so many carrots and tomatoes of late that a tangy mango and green peppers will be a welcome change!
Congratulations on your awards! It’s nice that GF cooking and eating is getting such wonderful attention! Your blog is helping in so many ways!

The mango chicken looks perfect – I’m always looking for recipes for ripe mangoes as during the season they tend to be cheap and plentiful here.

I love gluten-free recipes! My son was GFCF for 2 and 1/2 years and while we don’t do it anymore there are so many people with food allergies and sensitivities, it’s always good to know and learn more about them. Love your blog!
