Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound Boneless chicken thighs
- 2 tablespoons Coconut oil
- 1 cup Fresh mango, diced
- 2 tablespoons Lime juice
- 2 tablespoons Soy sauce (or tamari for gluten-free)
- 1 tablespoon Fresh ginger, grated
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
- 0.5 teaspoon Chili flakes
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 cup Fresh cilantro, chopped
- 2 stalks Green onions, sliced
Instructions
Trim any excess fat from the boneless chicken thighs and cut them into bite-sized pieces.
In a large skillet, heat coconut oil over medium-high heat. Add the chicken pieces and cook until browned on all sides, about 5-7 minutes.
While the chicken is cooking, blend the fresh mango in a blender until smooth. You can add a tablespoon of water if needed to help with blending.
In a small bowl, mix together the mango puree, lime juice, soy sauce (or tamari), grated ginger, garlic, chili flakes, black pepper, and salt.
Once the chicken is browned, reduce the heat to medium and pour the mango sauce over the chicken. Stir well to coat all pieces.
Simmer the chicken in the mango sauce for about 15 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the sauce has thickened.
Sprinkle chopped cilantro and sliced green onions over the cooked chicken before serving.
Serve immediately and enjoy your Keto-friendly mango chicken!
