Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 cup mango, diced
- 0.5 cup red bell pepper, diced
- 0.25 cup red onion, diced
- 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro, chopped
- 1 small jalapeño, seeded and minced
- 1 tablespoon lime juice
Instructions
Begin by preparing the chicken marinade. In a bowl, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper.
Place the chicken breasts in a resealable plastic bag or shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the chicken, ensuring each piece is well-coated. Seal the bag or cover the dish and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours for more flavor.
While the chicken is marinating, prepare the mango salsa. In a medium bowl, combine the diced mango, red bell pepper, red onion, fresh cilantro, minced jalapeño, and lime juice. Stir gently to blend the flavors. Cover and refrigerate until ready to serve.
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Lightly oil the grill grates to prevent sticking.
Remove the chicken from the marinade and place it on the hot grill. Grill each side for 6-8 minutes or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C) and the juices run clear.
Once cooked, remove the chicken from the grill and let it rest for a few minutes.
Serve the grilled chicken warm, topped generously with the mango salsa. Enjoy your soy-free meal with your favorite side dishes.
