Ingredients
For the Chicken
- 4 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1/4 cup honey
- 1/4 cup fresh lime juice
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- Salt and pepper to taste
For the Mango Salsa
- 1 piece ripe mango, diced
- 1/2 piece red bell pepper, diced
- 1/4 piece red onion, finely chopped
- 1 piece jalapeño, seeds removed and minced
- 1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
- 1 piece lime juice
- Salt to taste
Instructions
Preparation
- In a bowl, whisk together honey, lime juice, minced garlic, cumin, salt, and pepper.
- Add the chicken breasts and coat them in the marinade, allowing them to sit for at least 30 minutes.
Prepare the Mango Salsa
- In a separate bowl, combine the diced mango, red bell pepper, red onion, jalapeño, cilantro, lime juice, and salt.
- Mix well and set aside to allow the flavors to meld together.
Cooking
- Grill or pan-sear the marinated chicken over medium-high heat for 6-7 minutes on each side or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F.
Serving
- Once cooked, let the chicken rest for a few minutes, then slice it and serve topped with a generous amount of mango salsa.
Notes
The longer you can marinate the chicken, the more flavor it will absorb. Use fresh ingredients for the best flavor. Adjust the heat in the salsa by modifying the jalapeño amount.
