Main Dish

Steps

Season the chicken breast with salt and pepper. Grill or cook in a skillet until cooked through. Let it rest for a few minutes, then slice it into thin strips.
In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, honey, lime juice, and red pepper flakes.
In a serving bowl, layer the cooked rice, sliced chicken, and diced mango.
Drizzle the sauce over the rice bowl and sprinkle with chopped cilantro.
Toss gently to combine all the ingredients.
Serve immediately and enjoy!

Tips for Mango Chicken Rice Bowl

Choose a mango that gives slightly when pressed; very firm fruit can taste tart and be difficult to dice neatly.
Keep the rice grains distinct rather than packing them down, so the sauce can coat the bowl without making it heavy.
Let the chicken rest before slicing to help keep the strips juicy; slice across the grain for a more tender bite.

Drink pairing

A dry Riesling
Its crisp acidity and light fruit complement the juicy mango and balance the soy-honey sauce.

0% option: Sparkling water with lime

Storage

Refrigerate leftovers within 2 hours in a sealed container and eat within 3–4 days. Reheat until steaming hot; the mango and cilantro are best added fresh if possible.
