Step by Step Instructions

Cook the Chicken

1. Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat.

4. Pour in the coconut milk and sweet chili sauce, stirring to combine everything evenly.
5. Add the diced mango and lime juice to the skillet, and gently stir to combine.
6. Allow the mixture to simmer for an additional 3-5 minutes, so the flavors meld and the sauce thickens slightly.
