Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 1.5 lbs (680g) Chicken Breast Sliced into thin strips
  • 1/4 cup (60ml) Honey High quality clover honey
  • 2 tbsp (30ml) Fresh Lime Juice Approx 1 large lime
  • 1 tbsp (15ml) Olive Oil For searing
  • 1 large Fresh Mango Diced small
  • 1/4 cup (40g) Red Onion Finely minced
  • 1/4 cup (15g) Fresh Cilantro Chopped
  • 2 cups (370g) White Jasmine Rice Steamed and fluffy
  • 4 wedges Lime For garnish

Equipment

  • 1 Cast Iron Grill Pan Essential for charred grill marks.
  • 2 Mixing Bowl One for marinade, one for salsa.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Whisk honey, lime juice, and salt. Reserve 2 tbsp for glazing. Toss chicken strips in the rest and marinate for 10-15 minutes.
  2. Prepare 2 cups of jasmine rice according to package instructions until fluffy.
Cooking & Assembly
  1. Heat grill pan over medium-high. Place chicken strips in a single layer. Cook for 3-4 minutes per side until charred grill marks appear and chicken is cooked through.
  2. In a bowl, toss diced mango, minced red onion, and cilantro with a squeeze of lime juice.
  3. Divide rice into bowls. Top with chicken strips. Brush with reserved honey lime glaze. Spoon mango salsa over the top and add a fresh lime wedge.

Notes

Use a very hot pan to ensure grill marks without overcooking the meat.
Reserve glaze before touching raw chicken to keep it food-safe for the final garnish.
