Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pounds Chicken thighs (boneless, skinless)
- 2 large Mangoes (ripe, peeled, and diced)
- 1 cup Coconut milk
- 2 tablespoons Yellow curry powder
- 1 tablespoon Fresh ginger (grated)
- 3 cloves Garlic cloves (minced)
- 2 tablespoons Honey
- 2 tablespoons Lime juice
- 4 cups Cooked jasmine rice
- 2 tablespoons Fresh cilantro (chopped, for garnish)
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 tablespoon Vegetable oil
Instructions
Heat the vegetable oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the chicken thighs and sear them for 2 minutes on each side until lightly browned. Remove from heat and set aside.
In the bowl of a crock pot, add the diced mangoes, coconut milk, yellow curry powder, grated ginger, minced garlic, honey, lime juice, salt, and black pepper. Stir to combine.
Place the seared chicken thighs into the crock pot, ensuring they are fully submerged in the mango mixture.
Cover the crock pot with its lid and cook on low heat for 6-8 hours or on high heat for 3-4 hours, until the chicken is tender and infused with the mango curry sauce.
Once cooked, remove the chicken thighs from the crock pot and shred them using two forks. Return the shredded chicken to the crock pot and stir to combine with the sauce.
Serve the mango chicken hot over cooked jasmine rice. Garnish with fresh cilantro and a squeeze of additional lime juice, if desired.
