Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 4 tablespoons lime juice
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 mangos, diced
- 1 red bell pepper, diced
- 0.5 red onion, finely chopped
- 0.25 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
- 1 jalapeño, seeded and finely diced
- 1 lime, juiced
- 1 avocado, diced
Instructions
In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lime juice, garlic powder, ground cumin, salt, and black pepper.
Place the chicken breasts in a large resealable plastic bag or shallow container. Pour the marinade over the chicken, ensuring each piece is well coated. Seal the bag or cover the container and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes and up to 4 hours.
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Remove the chicken from the marinade and let any excess marinade drip off.
Grill the chicken for about 6-7 minutes on each side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C) and the juices run clear.
While the chicken is grilling, prepare the mango salsa. In a medium bowl, combine the diced mangos, red bell pepper, red onion, cilantro, jalapeño, lime juice, and diced avocado.
Mix the salsa gently to combine all the ingredients, being careful not to mash the avocado.
Once the chicken is done grilling, let it rest for a few minutes before slicing.
Serve the grilled chicken topped with the mango salsa.
