Combine orange juice, tomato paste, coconut aminos, chile-garlic sauce, rice vinegar, ginger, garlic, and arrowroot powder in a pint container with a well-fitting lid. Cover and shake until the sauce is well combined; set aside.
- 2
Cut chicken breasts into bite-size pieces and place them in a large resealable plastic bag. Add salt, white pepper, and arrowroot to the bag; seal and gently squeeze the contents until the chicken is well coated.
- 3
Heat avocado oil in a large nonstick skillet or wok over medium-high heat until hot.
- 4
Add the chicken pieces in a single layer and cook for about 1 minute. Using tongs, turn the chicken and begin stirring. Move the chicken quickly around the skillet, turning it so all sides come into contact with the skillet and begin to brown, about 5 minutes.
- 5
Continue stir-frying until the chicken is no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, about 5 more minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read 162 to 165 degrees F (72 to 74 degrees C). Remove the chicken pieces to a plate and keep warm.
- 6
Heat the oil in the same skillet until hot. Add onion, bell pepper, broccoli, and red pepper and cook, stirring, until the vegetables are brightly colored but still crisp, about 3 minutes. Stir in the mango pieces.
- 7
Shake the sauce again and pour it into the skillet, stirring quickly and constantly until the sauce thickens, about 1 minute. Return the chicken pieces to the skillet.
- 8
Turn off the heat and allow the residual heat to continue cooking the stir-fry until the vegetables are crisp-tender, 1 to 2 more minutes.

How easyChef Pro scores recipes and products
easyChef Pro analyzes up to 41 nutrients using data sourced from USDA and other verified food databases. Its scoring method uses the nutrients relevant to nutrition quality, calorie density, processing level, and your selected health goal. Recipes and food products get a health score from 0 to 100, calculated using consistent rules instead of being estimated by AI. The same nutrition data, serving size and health goal will produce the same result.
The calculation evaluates nutrients, calorie density, processing level, and how well the food supports your selected health goal. Protein, fiber, vitamins, minerals and other beneficial nutrients can strengthen the score. High amounts of sodium, saturated fat, added sugar and other nutrients may lower it.
Your health goal also matters. easyChef Pro evaluates recipes and products across six health areas and adjusts their importance for your selected goal. This means the same food may be a better fit for one health goal than another.
For recipes, changing an ingredient, quantity or serving size changes the nutrition and may change the score. Remix the recipe in easyChef Pro to calculate fresh nutrition and scores for the version you actually make. Product scores are based on the nutrition and serving information associated with that specific product.
