Step‑by‑Step Instructions
  1. Soak 4 Medjool dates in warm water for about 10 minutes. In a blender, combine softened dates, 3 cloves of garlic, 1 tablespoon of fresh ginger, ¼ cup of soy sauce, and 2 tablespoons of rice vinegar. Blend until smooth, adjusting consistency with chicken broth as needed.
  2. Heat 1 tablespoon of sesame oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Dice 1 pound of chicken breast into bite-sized pieces and add to the pan. Sauté for about 6-8 minutes until browned and cooked through.
  3. Pour the prepared teriyaki sauce over the chicken and stir well to coat. Simmer over medium heat for about 3-5 minutes to thicken the sauce.
  4. Stir in 1 cup of frozen mango chunks and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until heated through.
  5. Remove from heat, serve on plates, and garnish with sesame seeds, green onions, and optional cilantro.
