Description

A delightful dish that beautifully balances sweet and tangy flavors, perfect for weeknight dinners or casual gatherings.


Ingredients

  • 4 Chicken Breasts
  • 1/4 cup Honey
  • 1/4 cup Lime Juice
  • 3 cloves Garlic, minced
  • 1 tsp Salt
  • 1/2 tsp Pepper
  • 2 ripe Mangoes, diced
  • 1/2 Red Onion, finely chopped
  • 1/4 cup Cilantro, chopped
  • 1 Jalapeño, minced
  • 2 tbsp Olive Oil


Instructions

  1. Combine honey, lime juice, minced garlic, salt, and pepper to create the marinade.
  2. Add chicken breasts to the marinade, covering them well. Let it sit for at least 30 minutes.
  3. Preheat your grill or oven to medium-high heat. Oil the grates if grilling to prevent sticking.
  4. Cook the marinated chicken until fully cooked, about 6-7 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F.
  5. Prepare the mango salsa by mixing diced mango, finely chopped red onion, chopped cilantro, minced jalapeño, lime juice, and olive oil in a separate bowl.
  6. Serve the chicken topped with mango salsa, pairing it with rice, salad, or tortillas.

Notes

For best flavor, use local honey and ripe mangoes. You can substitute chicken breasts with thighs for a juicier option.
