Turn this recipe into tacos or wraps! Shred or slice the chicken and serve in Boston lettuce leaves or small tortillas with the salsa spooned over top. Swap in 3 large boneless, skinless chicken breasts for the thighs, if you prefer.

Ingredients

Uncooked boneless skinless chicken thigh(s)

6 thigh

Jamaican jerk seasoning

5 oz

Mango(es)

1½ item(s), diced

Sweet red pepper(s)

½ medium, diced

Uncooked red onion(s)

½ small, diced

Cilantro

2 Tbsp, fresh, chopped

Jalapeño pepper(s)

½ medium, seeded and minced

Fresh lime juice

2 Tbsp

Instructions

  1. Trim any excess fat from chicken. Place chicken in a large bowl and cover with jerk TK. Turn chicken to coat, cover bowl, and refrigerate for at least an hour.
  2. Preheat oven to 375℉.
  3. Remove chicken from bowl and place in a single layer on an ungreased baking sheet. Bake until chicken is cooked through and reaches an internal temperature of 165℉, about 1 hour.
  4. Meanwhile, to make salsa, in a medium bowl, combine mango, red pepper, onion, cilantro and jalapeño. Drizzle with lime juice and stir to combine. Season to taste with salt, stir again, and chill for 10 minutes.
  5. Serve chicken topped with salsa.
  6. Serving size: 1 chicken thigh and about ½ cup salsa
