Preparation

  1. In 10-inch nonstick skillet, heat oil over medium-high heat. Add chicken; cook 7 to 8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until no longer pink in center.

Expert Tips

  • For best results, pat chicken slices dry before adding to hot skillet.
  • No fresh mango? Diced pineapple makes a nice substitute.
