Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 pieces Boneless skinless chicken thighs
- 1 medium Mango (ripe, diced)
- 1 cup Greek yogurt
- 1 tablespoon Curry powder
- 2 cloves Garlic (minced)
- 1 tablespoon Ginger (grated)
- 2 tablespoons Lime juice
- 1 tablespoon Honey
- 1.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Vegetable oil
- 2 tablespoons Fresh cilantro (chopped, for garnish)
Instructions
Place the diced mango, Greek yogurt, curry powder, minced garlic, grated ginger, lime juice, honey, salt, and black pepper in a blender or food processor.
Blend until the mixture is smooth and creamy to create the mango curry marinade.
Transfer the chicken thighs to a large bowl or resealable plastic bag and pour the marinade over them. Ensure all pieces are evenly coated.
Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, preferably overnight for maximum flavor.
Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Remove the chicken thighs from the marinade, letting any excess marinade drip off, and place them in the skillet.
Cook the chicken for 6-8 minutes on each side or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C) and the thighs are golden and slightly caramelized.
Let the chicken rest for 5 minutes before serving.
Garnish with freshly chopped cilantro and serve with rice, naan, or your favorite sides.
