Cut one large chicken breast into small cubes.

Season the chicken cubes with salt, 1/2 teaspoon white pepper, 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder, 1/4 teaspoon sweet paprika, and 1 tablespoon corn flour.

Mix all the ingredients well over the chicken cubes and let them rest for about 10 minutes.

Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a pan.

Once the oil is hot, add the marinated chicken cubes into the pan.

Fry the chicken on medium flame until golden brown from both sides, flipping after about 2 minutes.

Once golden brown, take the chicken off and keep it aside on a plate.

Remove some excess oil from the pan.

Add 1 tablespoon of minced garlic and 1 teaspoon of chili flakes into the pan.

Saute the garlic and chili flakes on medium flame until they turn golden brown and aromatic.

Add 1/2 cup of mango puree to the pan and saute until well combined with the garlic and chili flakes.

Add a splash of water to rinse off the measuring cup and mix it in.

Let the mango puree simmer for a few seconds until it thickens slightly.

Add 1/4 cup of honey to the mango puree and mix well.

Season with salt and a pinch of white pepper, then mix again.

Add 1 tablespoon of lemon juice to the pan and mix to balance the flavors.

Check the flavors and adjust if necessary.

Add the fried chicken cubes into the mango sauce and coat them well.

Let the chicken cubes simmer in the sauce for a few seconds.

Sprinkle white sesame seeds on top before serving.
