Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

Add the chicken thighs to the skillet and season with cumin, salt, and pepper. Sear each side until browned, approximately 5 minutes.
Stir in the diced mango, chopped red bell pepper, sriracha, soy sauce, and lime juice. Mix well.
Transfer the chicken and mango mixture to a casserole dish.
In the same skillet, add the jasmine rice and toast it for about 2 minutes.

Cover the casserole with foil and bake for 30 minutes.
Remove the foil and bake for an additional 10 minutes until the rice is cooked, and the chicken is tender.
