Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 pieces Boneless, skinless chicken thighs
- 2 large Mango
- 2 tablespoons Coconut oil
- 1 large Red bell pepper
- 1 medium Red onion
- 3 large Garlic cloves
- 1 inch piece Fresh ginger
- 1 medium Lime
- 0.5 cup Cilantro
- 1 teaspoon Chili powder
- 1 teaspoon Sea salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
Peel and dice the mangoes into small cubes, and set aside in a bowl.
Clean and pat dry the chicken thighs. Season them with chili powder, sea salt, and black pepper.
In a large skillet, heat the coconut oil over medium-high heat.
Add the chicken thighs to the skillet and cook for about 5-7 minutes on each side, or until they're golden brown and cooked through. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, reduce the heat to medium and add diced red onion and sliced red bell pepper. Sauté until the onion is translucent and the pepper is tender, about 5 minutes.
Mince the garlic and finely grate the ginger. Add them to the skillet, and sauté for another minute until fragrant.
Add the diced mango to the skillet and stir to combine everything well. Cook for 3-4 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together.
Return the chicken thighs to the skillet, nestling them into the mango mixture. Squeeze the juice of one lime over the chicken and mango.
Continue cooking for an additional 5 minutes, allowing the chicken to absorb the mango sauce.
Garnish the dish with chopped fresh cilantro before serving.
Serve the Paleo Mango Chicken warm, optionally with a side of cauliflower rice or another paleo-friendly side.
