Ingredients

6
  • 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken thighs
  • 2 ripe mangoes, diced
  • 1 red bell pepper, chopped
  • 1 onion, chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tbsp fresh ginger, grated
  • 1 can coconut milk (13.5 oz)
  • 1 cup jasmine rice
  • 1 1/2 cups chicken broth
  • 1 tbsp sriracha sauce
  • 1 tbsp soy sauce
  • 1 tsp cumin
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Juice of 1 lime
  • Fresh cilantro, for garnish

Instructions

1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

2

In a large skillet, heat some oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion, garlic, and grated ginger, cooking until fragrant.

3

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.

5

Transfer the chicken and mango mixture to a casserole dish.

6

In the same skillet, add the jasmine rice and toast it for about 2 minutes.

7

Pour in the coconut milk and chicken broth. Bring to a boil and then pour this mixture over the chicken and mango in the casserole dish.

8

Cover the casserole with foil and bake for 30 minutes.

9

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

10
