Ingredients
  

4 boneless, skinless chicken thighs

1 cup coconut milk

1 ripe mango, peeled and diced

1/2 cup fresh cilantro, chopped

1/4 cup green onions, chopped

1 small jalapeño, seeded and minced (adjust for spice preference)

2 cloves garlic, minced

Juice of 1 lime

1 teaspoon ground cumin

1 teaspoon ground coriander

Salt and pepper to taste

2 tablespoons olive oil

Lime wedges, for serving

Instructions
 

Marinate the Chicken: In a bowl, combine the olive oil, cumin, coriander, lime juice, salt, and pepper. Add the chicken thighs, ensuring they are well coated. Cover and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.

    Prepare the Sauce: In a blender, combine the diced mango, coconut milk, cilantro, green onions, jalapeño, and garlic. Blend until smooth. Taste and adjust seasoning with salt and lime juice as needed. Set aside.

      Cook the Chicken: Heat a skillet over medium-high heat. Remove the chicken from the marinade and add it to the skillet. Cook for 4-5 minutes on each side or until the chicken is golden brown and cooked through. Remove the chicken from the skillet and let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing.

        Combine and Simmer: In the same skillet, reduce the heat to medium-low and pour in the mango coconut sauce. Allow it to simmer for about 5 minutes until slightly thickened.

          Serve: Slice the chicken and place it on a serving platter. Pour the coconut mango verde sauce over the top. Garnish with additional cilantro, and serve with lime wedges on the side.
