Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces chicken breasts
- 4 pieces garlic cloves
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 3 tablespoons lime juice
- 1 teaspoon lime zest
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 large mango
- 1 large red bell pepper
- 0.5 medium red onion
- 0.25 cup fresh cilantro
- 1 small jalapeño
- 2 tablespoons lime juice (for salsa)
- 0.25 teaspoon salt (for salsa)
Instructions
Begin by preparing the marinade. Mince the garlic and combine it with olive oil, lime juice, lime zest, honey, cumin, salt, and black pepper in a bowl.
Pound the chicken breasts to an even thickness and add them to the marinade. Ensure the chicken is well coated and allow it to marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes or up to 4 hours.
While the chicken is marinating, prepare the mango salsa. Dice the mangoes, red bell pepper, and red onion into small, even pieces. Finely chop the fresh cilantro and jalapeño (remove seeds for less heat).
In a bowl, combine the diced mangoes, red bell pepper, red onion, cilantro, jalapeño, lime juice, and salt. Mix well and refrigerate until ready to serve.
Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. Once hot, lightly oil the grill grates.
Remove the chicken from the marinade and place it on the grill. Cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C).
Remove the chicken from the grill and let it rest for 5 minutes to retain its juices.
Serve the grilled chicken warm, topped with the chilled mango salsa. Pair with your choice of side, such as rice or a simple green salad, for a complete meal.
