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
Directions
Step 1
Trim any excess fat from the boneless chicken thighs and cut them into bite-sized pieces.
Step 2
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.
Step 3
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.
Step 4
In a small bowl, mix together the mango puree, lime juice, soy sauce (or tamari), grated ginger, garlic, chili flakes, black pepper, and salt.
Step 5
Once the chicken is browned, reduce the heat to medium and pour the mango sauce over the chicken. Stir well to coat all pieces.
Step 6
Simmer the chicken in the mango sauce for about 15 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the sauce has thickened.
Step 7
Sprinkle chopped cilantro and sliced green onions over the cooked chicken before serving.
Step 8
Serve immediately and enjoy your Keto-friendly mango chicken!
