Ingredients
- 4 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 whole lime
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 large mango
- 0.5 medium red onion
- 1 medium red bell pepper
- 0.25 cup fresh cilantro
- 1 small jalapeno
- 2 tablespoons lime juice
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
Step 2
In a small bowl, combine 2 tablespoons of olive oil, the juice of 1 lime, 1 teaspoon of salt, and 0.5 teaspoon of black pepper. Mix well.
Step 3
Place the 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts in a shallow dish or a zip-top bag. Pour the marinade over the chicken, ensuring all pieces are evenly coated. Set aside to marinate for about 10 minutes.
Step 4
While the chicken is marinating, prepare the mango salsa. Peel and dice 1 large mango, and finely chop 0.5 medium red onion, 1 medium red bell pepper, and 0.25 cup of fresh cilantro.
Step 5
Seed and finely chop 1 small jalapeno, adding it to the mango salsa for a hint of heat.
Step 6
In a mixing bowl, combine the diced mango, chopped red onion, red bell pepper, cilantro, jalapeno, and 2 tablespoons of lime juice. Stir until well mixed, and set aside to let the flavors meld together.
Step 7
Once the grill is preheated, place the marinated chicken breasts directly on the grill grates. Grill for about 6-7 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F and the chicken is cooked through.
Step 8
Remove the chicken from the grill and let it rest for a few minutes to allow the juices to redistribute.
Step 9
Serve the grilled chicken with a generous spoonful of mango salsa on top or on the side. Enjoy this flavorful and healthy dish!
