01
Step 1
Start by heating some vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken breast pieces and cook them until they’re no longer pink in the middle. Once done, take the chicken out and set it aside. While the chicken is cooking, whisk together the chicken stock, soy sauce, vinegar, brown sugar, curry powder, and cornstarch in a bowl and set that mixture aside.

Step 2
Using the same skillet, lower the heat to medium and sauté the onion until it softens and turns translucent, which should take about 5 minutes. Then toss in the green and red bell peppers and cook for another couple of minutes. Add the ginger and give everything a good stir, cooking for about one more minute. Pour in the chicken stock mixture along with the cooked chicken, stirring everything together. Let it simmer until the sauce thickens up nicely. Finally, stir in the mango chunks and cook just until they’re warmed through.
Why you’ll love it
This dish offers a perfect balance of sweet and savory flavors with the tropical sweetness of mango paired with rich, aromatic Malaysian spices. It’s vibrant, comforting, and brings an exciting twist to traditional chicken curry.
How to serve
Serve with steamed jasmine rice or coconut rice to soak up the flavorful sauce. A side of fresh cucumber salad or lightly blanched greens adds a refreshing contrast to the warm spices.
Storage & leftovers
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently on the stove or in the microwave, adding a splash of water or coconut milk if the sauce thickens too much.
