🥄 Texture

Crisp stir-fried vegetables and fresh lettuce provide a lively crunch while the chicken cubes are tender with a lightly seared exterior. Juicy mango and tomato bursts plus the creamy, slightly grainy mango-feta drizzle add soft, cooling contrasts to the warm components.

👃 Aroma

Bright citrus from lime and ripe mango greets the nose, layered over garlicky-ginger warmth and toasty sesame. Savory soy and fish sauce add depth while fresh cilantro and basil contribute herbaceous, slightly peppery top notes.

🍷 Pairs Well With

Crisp Sauvignon Blanc or an off-dry Riesling; non-alcoholic options include iced green tea or sparkling water with lime.

🥗 Side Dishes

Steamed jasmine or coconut rice to absorb the sauce; a light cucumber salad with rice vinegar and sesame; or warm flatbread/pita for scooping.

Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare all ingredients in advance (mise en place): cut chicken into cubes, julienne carrots, slice zucchini and bell pepper, chop garlic and ginger, dice mango and tomatoes, and chop fresh herbs.

  2. 2

    In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, fish sauce, lime juice, honey, and red chili flakes to create the Thai-inspired sauce base. Set aside.

  3. 3

    Heat 1.5 tablespoons of olive oil in a large wok or skillet over high heat until shimmering. Season chicken cubes with salt and pepper.

  4. 4

    Working in batches if necessary, sear the chicken until golden brown on all sides (approximately 5-6 minutes total). Remove chicken to a plate and set aside.

  5. 5

    Add remaining 1.5 tablespoons olive oil and sesame oil to the wok. Add minced garlic and ginger, stir-frying for 30 seconds until fragrant.

  6. 6

    Add the harder vegetables first (carrots and broccoli), stir-frying for 2-3 minutes over high heat to maintain crispness.

  7. 7

    Add zucchini and red bell pepper, continuing to stir-fry for another 2 minutes.

  8. 8

    Return the cooked chicken to the wok and add the sauce mixture. Toss everything together for 1-2 minutes, allowing the sauce to coat all ingredients.

  9. 9

    Dissolve cornstarch in 1 tablespoon water and drizzle into the wok while tossing to lightly thicken the sauce (approximately 30 seconds).

  10. 10

    Remove from heat and gently fold in the fresh lettuce and diced tomatoes to maintain their freshness and crispness.

  11. 11

    Prepare the mango-feta drizzle by mashing half of the diced mango with a fork and mixing with 2 tablespoons of the remaining fresh lime juice and 1/4 cup of the feta cheese.

  12. 12

    Transfer the stir-fried mixture to a large serving platter or individual bowls.

  13. 13

    Top with remaining fresh mango cubes, crumbled feta cheese, and drizzle the mango-feta mixture over the top.

  14. 14

    Garnish generously with fresh cilantro and basil.

  15. 15

    Serve immediately while the vegetables maintain their crisp texture and the chicken is still warm.
