Irresistible Sweet & Savory Asian Mango Glazed Chicken Twists: An Amazing Ultimate Recipe
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 ripe mango, peeled and diced
- ¼ cup soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon ginger, grated
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch (optional, for thickening)
- 1 package of puff pastry sheets
- 1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)
- Sesame seeds, for garnish
- Fresh cilantro, for garnish
Instructions
- Cut the chicken breasts into thin strips for quick cooking and easy twisting.
- Make the Glaze: In a bowl, combine the diced mango, soy sauce, honey, rice vinegar, sesame oil, minced garlic, grated ginger, and black pepper. Blend well until smooth. If you prefer a thicker glaze, stir in cornstarch.
- Cook the Chicken: Heat a skillet over medium heat. Add the chicken strips and cook for about 6-7 minutes or until golden brown and cooked through.
- Add the Glaze: Pour the mango glaze over the cooked chicken. Stir well to coat the chicken evenly and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until the glaze thickens slightly.
- Prepare Puff Pastry: On a lightly floured surface, roll out the puff pastry sheets. Cut them into strips, approximately 1 inch wide.
- Twist the Strips: Place a small amount of the glazed chicken at one end of each pastry strip. Twist the pastry around the chicken, creating a spiral shape.
- Arrange on Baking Sheet: Place the twisted chicken pastry on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- Egg Wash: Brush the tops with beaten egg to achieve a golden finish when baked.
- Bake: Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) and bake the twists for 15-20 minutes or until they are puffed and golden brown.
- Garnish: Once baked, remove from the oven and sprinkle with sesame seeds and fresh cilantro for an added touch of flavor and presentation.
