- 4 chicken breast OR 4-6 boneless skinless chicken thighs, boneless skinless
- 1 ½ cups Mango diced fresh
- 1 cup coconut milk
- 1 ½ teaspoons salt or to taste
- 1 tablespoon red curry paste
- 3 teaspoons yellow curry powder

- 1 teaspoon cumin ground
- 1 teaspoon chili powder
- lime about 1 tablespoon, juice of 1
- ⅓ cup neutral cooking oil generic cooking oil

Instructions
- In a food processor or blender combine mangoes, coconut milk, salt, curry paste, curry powder, garlic powder, cumin, chili powder, lime juice, and oil. Pulse until smooth. Reserve 1/2 cup of the mixture, cover and refrigerate.
- Pour remaining sauce into a large resealable bag. Add chicken, seal bag, and refrigerate for 1-8 hours (overnight works great).
- Preheat grill to medium heat and lightly grease the grates. Use tongs to transfer chicken from the marinade bag to the grill. Discard bag. Cook chicken 5-10 minutes on each side until cooked through. (meanwhile move on to next step)
- While chicken is cooking, transfer the reserved portion of the sauce (the portion you refrigerated by itself) to a sauce pan. Bring to a boil over medium heat and cook 3-5 minutes, then remove from heat.
- Once chicken is just about cooked through, brush both sides with the sauce and allow to cook 1-2 minutes longer on each side. Serve chicken hot with any extra sauce and garnish with chopped peanuts and cilantro if desired.
