1. Place chicken thighs in a bowl. To create marinade, combine all of the other ingredients in a food processor and pulse until smooth. Pour marinade over chicken. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for as long as you can-anything over an hour is ideal.
2. Place chicken (and extra sauce) in a baking dish and bake at 350 degrees for 45 minutes, occasionally spooning sauce over the chicken.
3. Plate the chicken over white rice and black beans, and spoon mango salsa on top for garnish.


Mango Salsa
1 medium ripe avocado, diced
1 medium ripe mango, diced
1/4 c fresh cilantro, chopped
1 tbsp olive oil
2 tbsp fresh lime juice
Kosher salt and fresh ground pepper

Toss!
