  • Total Time: 45 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale

Here’s what you’ll need to whip up this delightful dish:

  • 2 cups jasmine rice, cooked
  • 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken thighs, cut into bite-sized pieces
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 large ripe mango, diced
  • 1 red bell pepper, sliced
  • 1 small red onion, thinly sliced
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper (adjust for spice preference)
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce
  • Juice of 1 lime
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Fresh cilantro, chopped (for garnish)
  • Optional: sliced jalapeños for extra heat

If you don’t have jasmine rice, feel free to substitute with basmati or even brown rice for a healthier twist. And if mangoes aren’t in season, canned mangoes can work in a pinch—just make sure to drain them well.

Instructions

Let’s get cooking:

  1. Start by cooking your jasmine rice according to package instructions. Once cooked, fluff with a fork and set aside.
  2. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken pieces and cook until browned and cooked through, about 6-8 minutes. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
  3. In the same skillet, add the red onion, red bell pepper, and garlic. Sauté for 3-4 minutes until the vegetables are tender and the garlic is fragrant.
  4. Stir in the cumin, smoked paprika, and cayenne pepper, cooking for another minute to toast the spices.
  5. Return the chicken to the skillet, then add the diced mango, soy sauce, and lime juice. Toss everything together and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until heated through.
  6. Season with salt and pepper to taste. If you’re feeling adventurous, throw in some sliced jalapeños for an extra kick.
  7. To serve, divide the cooked rice among bowls, top with the mango chicken mixture, and garnish with fresh cilantro.

This dish is incredibly forgiving, so feel free to tweak the spice level or add in your favorite veggies. Remember, home cooking is all about making it work for you!
