Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 juice and zest lime
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 0.5 teaspoon sea salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 diced ripe mango
- 1 diced red bell pepper
- 0.5 finely chopped red onion
- 1 seeded and minced jalapeño
- 0.5 cup chopped cilantro
- 1 juice lime
- 0.25 teaspoon sea salt
Instructions
In a small bowl, mix together olive oil, lime juice and zest, garlic powder, ground cumin, sea salt, and black pepper.
Place the chicken breasts in a large resealable plastic bag or shallow dish and pour the marinade over them. Seal the bag or cover the dish and refrigerate for at least 15 minutes or up to 4 hours for more flavor.
Preheat the grill to medium-high heat.
Remove the chicken from the marinade and grill for about 6-8 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C).
While the chicken is grilling, prepare the mango salsa by combining diced mango, red bell pepper, red onion, jalapeño, cilantro, lime juice, and sea salt in a medium bowl. Mix well to combine.
Once the chicken is cooked, remove it from the grill and let it rest for about 5 minutes before slicing.
Serve the grilled chicken topped with the fresh mango salsa.
