Mango Salsa Grilled Chicken Simple and Flavorful Dish
Ingredients
- 4 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 2 pieces ripe mangoes, diced
- 1 piece red bell pepper, finely chopped
- 1 small red onion, finely chopped
- 1 piece jalapeño pepper, deseeded and minced
- 0.25 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
- 2 tablespoons lime juice
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- to taste salt and pepper
Instructions
- In a medium bowl, combine the diced mangoes, red bell pepper, red onion, jalapeño, cilantro, and lime juice. Mix well and set aside to allow the flavors to meld.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper.
- Place the chicken breasts in a large resealable bag or a shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the chicken, ensuring all pieces are coated well. Seal the bag or cover the dish and let it marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes (or up to 4 hours for more flavor).
- Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
- Remove the chicken from the marinade, letting any excess drip off.
- Place the chicken on the grill and cook for 6-7 minutes on each side or until fully cooked and reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C).
- Once cooked, remove the chicken from the grill and let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing.
- Serve the grilled chicken topped with the freshly made mango salsa.
💡 Chef's Notes
