Instructions

Cut the chicken breast into bite-sized pieces.
In a bowl, mix the flour, cornstarch, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and ground ginger.
Coat the chicken pieces in the flour mixture, ensuring they are fully covered.
In a separate bowl, combine the diced mango and coconut milk.
Heat vegetable oil in a frying pan over medium heat.
Dip the coated chicken pieces into the mango-coconut mixture.
Fry the chicken pieces in the hot oil until golden brown and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes.
Remove the chicken bites from the pan and drain on paper towels.
For the pineapple salsa, combine the diced pineapple, red bell pepper, red onion, cilantro, lime juice, salt, and jalapeño (if using) in a bowl.
Mix the salsa ingredients thoroughly.
Serve the chicken bites with the pineapple salsa on the side.

Notes

Marinate chicken in a blend of mango and coconut milk for a tropical flavor infusion.
Prepare pineapple salsa in advance to allow flavors to meld for a more vibrant taste.
Adjust jalapeño in salsa to your spice preference, adding more for heat or omitting for a milder option.
