Description

Ingredients

• 15 medjool dates, pitted and soaked in ½ cup hot water (see notes - you can use sugar instead if you want)
• ¾ cup soy sauce, reduced sodium
• ¼ cup rice vinegar
• 3 cloves garlic
• 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, minced, smashed, or in paste form
• ½ cup chicken broth
• 1 yellow onion
• 1-2 lbs. boneless skinless chicken breasts (see notes)
• ¼ cup flour
• a generous pinch of salt and pepper
• a generous pinch of chili powder
• 1 tablespoon oil
• 2-3 cups frozen mango chunks (fresh could also work)
• sesame seeds, green onions, sesame oil, fish sauce, or limes for topping
• cooked rice for serving

Directions

• Get your rice cooking, if youre serving this with rice. I always just start that in the rice cooker right away so its ready in time!
• In a food processor or blender, puree the soaked dates and their water, soy sauce, rice vinegar, garlic, and ginger. Continue to blend or process until very, very smooth. Set aside.
• Thinly slice the onion. Cut the chicken breasts into bite-sized pieces. Combine the flour, salt, pepper, and chili powder in a shallow dish and dredge each piece of chicken in the flour mixture to get a light coating.
• Heat the oil over medium high heat in a large pan. Add the onions and stir fry for a few minutes. Add the chicken and stir fry for a few minutes until browned. Add the sauce and the broth (turn heat down to avoid splatter) - adding more broth if needed to thin out the sauce. Cover and simmer for 10 minutes. Add the mango chunks, stir, and cover and simmer for another 5-10 minutes.
• Serve over rice topped with sesame seeds, green onions, sesame oil, fish sauce, lime juice, or anything else that strikes your fancy.
