- Add Honey Lemon Sauce ingredients to a medium bowl and whisk to combine. Set aside.
- Add Light Breading ingredients to a freezer bag and mix to combine. Add chicken and toss until evenly coated.
- Heat 1 tablespoon olive/coconut oil over medium high heat in a large nonstick skillet. Remove chicken from bag, shaking off any excess breading and add chicken to skillet; saute 4-6 minutes, or until cooked through. Remove to a plate and wipe out skillet.
- Add 1 tablespoon oil to the now empty skillet and heat over medium high heat. Add red bell pepper and shallots and saute for 1 minute. Add asparagus, garlic and ginger and saute 30 seconds.
- Stir sauce (to make sure cornstarch has not separated) and add to skillet along with mangoes and chicken. Simmer until sauce is thickened and vegetables are crisp tender, approximately 1-2 minutes depending on thickness of asparagus.
- Taste and add additional salt, pepper, sriracha, if desired. Add more honey if you would like it sweeter, more lemon for more "sour/tang" to taste.
