Instructions

  1. Step 1: Cut 1.5 lbs chicken thighs into 1-inch pieces and season with salt and pepper. Heat 2 tbsp vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook chicken until golden brown on all sides, about 6 minutes total; remove and set aside.
  2. Step 2: Add 1 finely chopped medium onion to the skillet and cook until softened, about 3 minutes. Stir in 3 minced garlic cloves and 1 tbsp grated fresh ginger, cooking for 1 minute until fragrant.
  3. Step 3: Add 1 tbsp curry powder, 1 tsp ground turmeric, and 1/2 tsp cumin to the skillet, stirring constantly for 30 seconds until aromatic.
  4. Step 4: Add 2 diced ripe mangoes and 1/2 cup chicken broth, stirring to combine. Simmer for 2 minutes until mango begins to soften.
  5. Step 5: Return cooked chicken to the skillet and pour in 13.5 oz can full-fat coconut milk. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes until chicken is cooked through and sauce thickens slightly.
  6. Step 6: Garnish with 2 tbsp fresh cilantro before serving.
