Ingredients
- 4 pieces Boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 4 tablespoons Balsamic vinegar
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Honey
- 2 pieces Garlic cloves, minced
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper
- 1 cup Fresh pineapple, diced
- 1 cup Mango, diced
- 0.25 cups Red onion, finely chopped
- 0.5 cups Fresh cilantro, chopped
- 2 tablespoons Lime juice
- 4 cups Mixed greens
Directions
Step 1
In a small bowl, whisk together balsamic vinegar, olive oil, honey, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper to make the marinade.
Step 2
Place the chicken breasts in a resealable plastic bag or a shallow dish and pour the marinade over them. Seal the bag or cover the dish and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes or up to 8 hours for deeper flavor.
Step 3
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Remove the chicken from the marinade, letting any excess drip off, and discard the remaining marinade.
Step 4
Grill the chicken breasts for 6-8 minutes per side or until they reach an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C). Remove from the grill and let rest for 5 minutes before slicing.
Step 5
In a large bowl, combine the diced pineapple, mango, red onion, and chopped cilantro. Drizzle with lime juice and toss to combine. Taste for seasoning and add a pinch of salt, if desired.
Step 6
To serve, arrange the mixed greens on individual plates. Top each plate with a sliced grilled chicken breast and a generous scoop of the fruity cilantro salad.
Step 7
Garnish with extra cilantro leaves, if desired, and serve immediately.
