Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces chicken breasts, boneless and skinless
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 piece lime, juiced
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 cups fresh mango, diced
- 1 cup red bell pepper, diced
- 0.5 cup red onion, finely chopped
- 0.25 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
- 1 piece jalapeño, seeded and minced
- 1 piece lime, juiced (for salsa)
- 1 teaspoon honey
Instructions
In a small bowl, mix together olive oil, juice from 1 lime, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper to create a marinade.
Place chicken breasts in a large resealable bag or shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the chicken, making sure each piece is well-coated. Marinate for at least 15 minutes or up to 2 hours in the refrigerator for best flavor.
While the chicken is marinating, prepare the mango salsa. In a medium bowl, combine diced mango, red bell pepper, red onion, chopped cilantro, minced jalapeño, juice from 1 lime, and honey. Stir well to combine and set aside.
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Once heated, place the marinated chicken breasts on the grill. Cook for about 6-7 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C) and the juices run clear.
Remove the chicken from the grill and let it rest for about 5 minutes.
Serve the grilled chicken topped with mango salsa. Enjoy with a fresh salad or your favorite side dish.
