How to make it

Step 1

Cook rice in chicken broth according to package directions, approximately 18-20 minutes until tender and liquid is absorbed.

Step 2

While rice cooks, combine tamari sauce, rice vinegar, honey, minced chili, garlic, and ginger in a small bowl to create the glaze.

Step 3

Heat 1 tbsp coconut oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Season chicken with salt and pepper, then cook for 6-7 minutes until golden on all sides.

Step 4

Add diced mango to the skillet with chicken and stir for 1 minute until fragrant.

Step 5

Pour the glaze over the chicken and mango mixture, stirring constantly for 2-3 minutes until sauce thickens and coats the chicken.

Step 6

In a separate skillet, heat remaining coconut oil and sauté broccoli and snap peas for 4-5 minutes until tender-crisp.

Step 7

Divide cooked rice into bowls, top with glazed chicken and mango mixture, then add sautéed vegetables.

Step 8

Garnish with sesame seeds and green onions before serving.
