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
Directions
Step 1
Peel and dice the mangoes into small cubes, and set aside in a bowl.
Step 2
Clean and pat dry the chicken thighs. Season them with chili powder, sea salt, and black pepper.
Step 3
In a large skillet, heat the coconut oil over medium-high heat.
Step 4
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.
Step 5
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.
Step 6
Mince the garlic and finely grate the ginger. Add them to the skillet, and sauté for another minute until fragrant.
Step 7
Add the diced mango to the skillet and stir to combine everything well. Cook for 3-4 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together.
Step 8
Return the chicken thighs to the skillet, nestling them into the mango mixture. Squeeze the juice of one lime over the chicken and mango.
Step 9
Continue cooking for an additional 5 minutes, allowing the chicken to absorb the mango sauce.
Step 10
Garnish the dish with chopped fresh cilantro before serving.
Step 11
Serve the Paleo Mango Chicken warm, optionally with a side of cauliflower rice or another paleo-friendly side.
