Ingredients

• 4 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts

• 0.25 cup red onion, finely chopped
• 0.25 cup fresh cilantro, chopped

Directions

Step 1

Marinate the chicken by combining olive oil, 3 tablespoons lime juice, minced garlic, black pepper, and salt in a resealable plastic bag or shallow dish.

Step 2

Add the chicken breasts to the marinade, ensuring they are evenly coated. Marinate in the refrigerator for at least 15 minutes or up to 2 hours for more flavor.

Step 3

While the chicken is marinating, make the mango salsa by mixing the diced mango, red bell pepper, red onion, cilantro, diced jalapeño, and 2 tablespoons of lime juice in a medium bowl. Toss the ingredients together and set aside.

Step 4

Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.

Step 5

Remove the chicken from the marinade and discard any remaining marinade.

Step 6

Grill the chicken breasts for about 6-7 minutes per side, or until fully cooked with an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C).

Step 7

Once cooked, remove the chicken from the grill and let it rest for a few minutes.

Step 8

Serve the grilled chicken topped with the fresh mango salsa. Enjoy your heart-healthy meal!
