1
Peel and dice 1 mango and add to a food processor or blender with the Greek yogurt. Blend until pureed.
2
Transfer half the puree to a large zip-top bag and add the chicken thighs. Marinate for 1 hour at room temperature or 6-8 hours in the refrigerator.
3
Reserve the remaining half of the mango-yogurt puree in a lidded container as necessary.
4
Preheat the oven to 375. Place a wire cooling rack on a rimmed baking sheet where it will fit snugly.
5
Place the marinated chicken on the prepared rack, shaking gently to remove excess marinade. Bake for 20 minutes or until the chicken is golden brown and just cooked through.
6
While the chicken bakes, peel and dice the remaining mango.
7
Top the baked chicken with the reserved mango-yogurt puree, diced mango, and cilantro. Sprinkle with freshly ground black pepper to taste.
