In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together soy sauce, fish sauce, brown sugar, minced garlic, grated ginger, lime juice, and olive oil to create the marinade.
Place the chicken breasts in a large resealable plastic bag or shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the chicken, ensuring they are fully coated. Seal the bag or cover the dish and let it marinate in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour, preferably 3-4 hours.
While the chicken is marinating, prepare the coriander mango salsa. In a mixing bowl, combine diced mangoes, finely chopped red onion, chopped red chili, chopped fresh coriander, lime juice, salt, and black pepper. Toss gently to mix well. Cover and refrigerate until ready to serve.
Preheat a grill or grill pan to medium-high heat. Lightly oil the grates to prevent sticking.
Remove the chicken from the marinade and shake off any excess. Discard the remaining marinade. Grill the chicken for 6-7 minutes per side, or until fully cooked and the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
Transfer the grilled chicken to a plate and let it rest for about 5 minutes.
Serve the chicken alongside the coriander mango salsa. Optionally, garnish with additional fresh coriander or lime wedges.
