  • Total Time: 45 minutes
  • Yield: Serves 4

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 1.5 lbs)
  • 2 ripe mangoes, diced
  • 1 medium red onion, finely chopped
  • 1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
  • 1/4 cup freshly squeezed lime juice
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 jalapeño, deseeded and minced (optional)

Instructions

  1. 1. Marinate the Chicken: In a bowl, mix olive oil, lime juice, salt, and pepper. Add chicken breasts and let marinate for at least 30 minutes.
  2. 2. Prepare the Salsa: While the chicken marinates, combine diced mangoes, red onion, cilantro, and jalapeño in a bowl. Toss with additional lime juice.
  3. 3. Preheat the Grill: Heat your grill to medium-high (375°F).
  4. 4. Grill the Chicken: Place marinated chicken on the grill and cook for about 6-7 minutes per side until golden brown and cooked through (internal temperature should reach 165°F).
  5. 5. Top with Salsa: Remove chicken from the grill and generously top each piece with fresh mango salsa before serving.

Notes

  • For added flavor, marinate the chicken overnight.
  •  Substitute mango with pineapple for a different tropical flair.
  •  Garnish with extra lime wedges for those who enjoy more tang.
