Chicken Recipe ⋇ Mango Chicken Bake

The combination of mango, ginger, and cilantro give this chicken dish a fresh, sweet taste.

Ingredients

• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 6 skinless chicken thighs
• ½ cup chopped onion
• 1 tablespoon minced garlic
• 1 ½ cups water
• ½ cup uncooked white rice
• 1 cup mango - peeled, pitted, and chopped
• ½ cup chopped fresh cilantro
• 1 green onion, chopped
• 1 tablespoon minced fresh ginger root
• 1 teaspoon red curry paste
• 1 teaspoon chicken broth
• 1 teaspoon tarragon vinegar

Cooking Directions

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 9x12-inch baking dish.
2. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat, and cook the chicken thighs in the hot oil until lightly browned on both sides, about 3 minutes per side. Stir in the onion, and cook and stir until the onion begins to turn translucent, about 3 minutes. Stir in the garlic, and cook and stir an additional minute. Remove from heat.
3. Mix the water and rice together in the prepared baking dish, and combine the chicken, onion, and garlic, with any pan juices, with the rice. Stir in mango, cilantro, green onion, and ginger. In a small bowl, mash the red curry paste with the chicken broth and tarragon vinegar to make a thin paste, and stir into the dish. Cover the dish with foil.
4. Bake in the preheated oven until the vegetables are tender and the rice is cooked, about 1 hour.
