Spiced Chicken With Black Bean and Mango Salsa

This Spiced Chicken With Black Bean and Mango Salsa recipe is a delightful combination of flavors that will satisfy your taste buds. The juicy and tender chicken thighs are seasoned with a blend of aromatic spices, including cumin, black pepper, kosher salt, oregano, thyme, chili powder, and cayenne pepper. The chicken is then seared to perfection and finished in the oven for a moist and flavorful result.

To complement the spiced chicken, we have a refreshing and vibrant black bean and mango salsa. This salsa is a medley of flavors, combining black beans, garlic, ginger, vine tomatoes, Persian cucumber, mango, red onion, serrano pepper, lime juice, lime zest, and olive oil. It’s a perfect balance of sweetness, tanginess, and a hint of heat.

Ingredients:

• 8 boneless and skinless chicken thighs
• 1 tablespoon ground cumin
• 0.5 tablespoon black pepper
• 0.5 tablespoon kosher salt
• 0.5 tablespoon ground oregano
• 0.5 tablespoon dried thyme
• 0.5 tablespoon chili powder
• 0.5 teaspoon cayenne pepper
• 0.5 tablespoon paprika
• Olive oil (for cooking)

  • 15 ounces black beans, drained and rinsed
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced

  • 1 small red onion, minced
  • 1 serrano pepper, minced

Instructions:

6. While the chicken cooks, carefully mix together all the ingredients for the salsa in a bowl. Add more olive oil to taste and season with salt.
