Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 Boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Lime juice
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 Ripe mango, diced
- 1 Red bell pepper, diced
- 0.5 Red onion, finely chopped
- 0.25 cup Cilantro leaves, chopped
- 1 Jalapeño, deseeded and diced
- 2 tablespoons Additional lime juice
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt for salsa
Instructions
In a small bowl, mix olive oil, lime juice, garlic powder, ground cumin, salt, and black pepper to create the marinade.
Place the chicken breasts in a shallow dish or a resealable plastic bag. Pour marinade over the chicken, ensuring they are well coated.
Set aside to marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes or up to 2 hours for more flavor infusion.
While the chicken is marinating, prepare the mango salsa. In a medium bowl, combine the diced mango, red bell pepper, red onion, chopped cilantro, jalapeño, lime juice, and salt.
Mix well to combine, then set aside to allow the flavors to meld together. This can also be refrigerated until ready to serve.
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
Once the grill is hot, remove the chicken from the marinade and grill for 6-7 minutes on each side or until fully cooked and internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C).
Remove chicken from grill and let it rest for a few minutes.
Serve the grilled chicken breast topped with a generous spoonful of mango salsa.
Enjoy your low carb grilled chicken with a burst of freshness from the mango salsa!
