Directions

Step 1

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.

Step 2

Blend until the mixture is smooth and creamy to create the mango curry marinade.

Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, preferably overnight for maximum flavor.

Step 5

Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat.

Step 6

Remove the chicken thighs from the marinade, letting any excess marinade drip off, and place them in the skillet.

Step 7

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.

Step 8

Let the chicken rest for 5 minutes before serving.

Step 9

Garnish with freshly chopped cilantro and serve with rice, naan, or your favorite sides.
