Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces chicken thigh steaks
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 ripe mango
- 1 ripe avocado
- 0.5 red onion
- 0.25 cup fresh mint leaves
- 2 tablespoons lime juice
- 1 teaspoon honey
- 0.5 teaspoon chili flakes
Instructions
Pat the chicken thigh steaks dry with paper towels. Season them on both sides with salt, black pepper, and paprika.
Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken thigh steaks to the pan and sear for about 6-7 minutes per side, or until fully cooked and golden brown. Remove the steaks from the skillet and let them rest for 5 minutes.
While the chicken cooks, prepare the fruity mint salsa. Peel and dice the mango and avocado into small cubes. Finely chop the red onion and fresh mint leaves.
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the mango, avocado, red onion, and mint. Add the lime juice, honey, and chili flakes. Gently mix until well combined, being careful not to mash the avocado.
Serve the chicken thigh steaks warm, topped with generous spoonfuls of the fruity mint salsa.
