Mango Chicken Stir Fry

Quick? Check. Easy? Check. Healthy? Check.

And pretty to boot. It’s the whole package.

Plus, you can eat it with chopsticks and improve your dexterity.

Do I really have to keep going?

This recipe is for those days that you start the morning off with a piece of chocolate cake. Or pastries. Or pie. Or cookies. Which these days are known as their psuedonyms: muffins, donuts, poptarts and …. well, cookies.

Cookies is kind of a hard one to justify as a breakfast food.

But we’ve all done it. At least I have, so sometimes I like to pretend that it is relatively normal human behavior.

You know it’s going to be a good day when it starts out with a cookie though, right?!

I don’t know who the genius was who passed off poptarts (AKA CHERRY PIE!) as a breakfast food, but I want to kiss that person.

And then teach them how to make better pies.

The original plan was to make brown rice to go with it because I personally prefer the nuttiness that brown rice has to offer, but I had to settle for white rice. It’s not because I ran out of time, guys. Not at all.

FINE!

… it’s Minute Rice. *SIGH*

Mango Chicken Stir Fry

Cook This Not That!

Ingredients: 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken thighs, chopped into 1/2″ pieces 2 tablespoons cornstarch 1 tablespoon low sodium soy sauce 1/2 tablespoon sesame oil 1/2 tablespoon peanut oil 1 red onion, chopped 1 tablespoon minced fresh ginger 2 cups sugar snap peas 1 mango, peeled and cubed 1 tablespoon Sriracha, plus more for garnish Pepper, to taste

Directions: Combined the chicken, cornstarch, soy sauce and sesame oil in a mixing bowl and leave it to rest for 10 minutes. Heat the peanut oil in a wok or large skillet over high heat. Add the onion and ginger and cook for 1-2 minutes until the onions are translucent and fragrant. Add the sugar snap peas and stir-fry for 1 minute, stirring constantly. Add the chicken mixture and stir-fry until the meat begins to brown on the outside. Add the mango, Sriracha and pepper and stir-fry for several minutes longer until the chicken is cooked all the way through and the mango has softened into an almost sauce-like consistency. Serve over brown rice. Or if you can’t prioritize your time like SOME people…. white rice.

Be generous with the Sriracha.

Because it is delicious.
