Description

A delightful dish featuring grilled chicken marinated in a honey-lime sauce, topped with a refreshing mango salsa.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 boneless skinless chicken breasts
  • 3 tablespoons honey
  • 2 limes (zest and juice)
  • 2 cloves garlic (minced)
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 0.5 teaspoon salt
  • 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 mango (diced)
  • 0.25 cup red onion (finely chopped)
  • 1 tablespoon lime juice
  • 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro (chopped)

Instructions

  1. Whisk the marinade by combining honey, lime juice, zest, minced garlic, olive oil, salt, and black pepper in a large mixing bowl.
  2. Marinate the chicken by adding the breasts to the marinade, ensuring they are coated, then refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
  3. Cook the chicken on a preheated grill over medium-high heat for about 6-7 minutes on each side, or until cooked through.
  4. Prepare the mango salsa by mixing diced mango, red onion, lime juice, and cilantro in a bowl.
  5. Serve the chicken with mango salsa on top after letting it rest for a few minutes post-cooking.

Notes

For deeper flavor, marinate the chicken overnight. Customize the salsa by adding jalapeños for heat or avocado for creaminess.
