A delightful dish featuring tender chicken thighs coated in a sweet and tangy mango sauce, served over fluffy rice.

Ingredients

  • 1 lb chicken thighs, boneless and skinless
  • 1 ripe mango, diced
  • 1/4 cup soy sauce
  • 2 tablespoons lime juice
  • 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, grated
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes
  • 2 cups cooked rice
  • Vegetable oil for cooking
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Mango Sauce: In a mixing bowl, combine the diced mango, soy sauce, lime juice, grated ginger, honey, and red pepper flakes to create the mango sauce.
  2. Season the Chicken: Sprinkle salt and pepper over the chicken thighs for extra flavor.
  3. Cook the Chicken: Heat a tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large pan over medium-high heat. Add the chicken thighs and cook for about 5-7 minutes on each side, or until they’re fully cooked and golden brown.
  4. Add the Sauce: Pour the mango sauce over the chicken in the pan. Let it simmer for an additional 3-5 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together.
