This recipe for Tropical Salsa Chicken was one I developed on a whim after I happened upon a jar of prepared mango and peach salsa at the grocery store.

I began running recipe scenarios around in my head in the International aisle of the supermarket and this is the recipe I came up with.

TROPICAL SALSA CHICKEN    {PRINT THIS RECIPE}
Serves: 4-6      Prep Time: 5 minutes     Bake Time: 35 minutes

8 boneless, skinless chicken thighs
2 limes
salt and pepper to taste
2 teaspoons ground cumin
1 1/2 cups prepared mango peach salsa
1/4 cup sweetened flaked coconut

-Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
-Place the chicken in a baking dish that’s been sprayed with cooking spray.
-Cut and squeeze the lime juice equally over each chicken thigh. *Note – to get more juice from the limes, press and roll the limes on the counter before cutting and juicing. Allow the chicken to sit for 10 minutes.
-Season each chicken thigh with salt, pepper, and ground cumin.
-Spoon the prepared salsa evenly over the chicken thighs.
-Bake in a preheated oven for 30 minutes.
-Remove the chicken from the oven and sprinkle the coconut over top of each thigh.
-Return to the oven and continue baking for 5 minutes longer, or just until the coconut starts to brown.
-Serve immediately.
