Begin by preparing the chicken. Pat the chicken breasts dry with paper towels and place them in a shallow dish.
In a small bowl, combine the olive oil, salt, ground black pepper, garlic powder, and paprika. Mix well to create a marinade.
Rub the marinade evenly over the chicken breasts. Set them aside to marinate while you prepare the salsa.
For the mango salsa, begin by peeling and dicing the mango into small cubes. Transfer the mango cubes to a medium-sized bowl.
Dice the red bell pepper and finely chop the red onion. Add these to the bowl with the mango.
Chop the cilantro and finely dice the jalapeño, removing the seeds if you prefer less heat. Add both to the mango mixture.
Squeeze the juice of one lime over the salsa ingredients, then add the 2 tablespoons of lime juice. Gently toss the salsa to combine all the ingredients. Adjust seasoning with salt if needed.
Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat.
Place the marinated chicken breasts on the grill. Cook for approximately 6-7 minutes on each side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C) and the chicken is fully cooked with no pink inside.
Once cooked, remove the chicken breasts from the grill and allow them to rest for a few minutes.
Serve the grilled chicken breasts topped generously with the mango salsa. Enjoy!
