Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 whole lime
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 large mango
- 0.5 medium red onion
- 1 medium red bell pepper
- 0.25 cup fresh cilantro
- 1 small jalapeno
- 2 tablespoons lime juice
Instructions
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
In a small bowl, combine 2 tablespoons of olive oil, the juice of 1 lime, 1 teaspoon of salt, and 0.5 teaspoon of black pepper. Mix well.
Place the 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts in a shallow dish or a zip-top bag. Pour the marinade over the chicken, ensuring all pieces are evenly coated. Set aside to marinate for about 10 minutes.
While the chicken is marinating, prepare the mango salsa. Peel and dice 1 large mango, and finely chop 0.5 medium red onion, 1 medium red bell pepper, and 0.25 cup of fresh cilantro.
Seed and finely chop 1 small jalapeno, adding it to the mango salsa for a hint of heat.
In a mixing bowl, combine the diced mango, chopped red onion, red bell pepper, cilantro, jalapeno, and 2 tablespoons of lime juice. Stir until well mixed, and set aside to let the flavors meld together.
Once the grill is preheated, place the marinated chicken breasts directly on the grill grates. Grill for about 6-7 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F and the chicken is cooked through.
Remove the chicken from the grill and let it rest for a few minutes to allow the juices to redistribute.
Serve the grilled chicken with a generous spoonful of mango salsa on top or on the side. Enjoy this flavorful and healthy dish!
