Description
A flavorful dish featuring juicy chicken marinated in a honey lime glaze, paired with a fresh mango salsa for a vibrant meal.
Ingredients
Scale
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1/4 cup honey
- 1/4 cup lime juice (freshly squeezed)
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 cloves of garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1/2 teaspoon paprika
- Salt and black pepper to taste
- 1 ripe mango, peeled and diced
- 1/2 red onion, finely chopped
- 1 red bell pepper, diced
- 1 jalapeño, seeded and minced (optional)
- 1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
- 1 lime, juiced
- Salt to taste
Instructions
- Begin by marinating the chicken. In a medium bowl, whisk together honey, lime juice, olive oil, minced garlic, cumin, paprika, salt, and pepper. Place the chicken in a zip-lock bag or shallow dish, pour the marinade over them, and let sit for at least 30 minutes in the refrigerator.
- While the chicken is marinating, prepare the mango salsa. In a separate bowl, combine diced mango, chopped red onion, diced red bell pepper, minced jalapeño, fresh cilantro, lime juice, and a pinch of salt. Mix gently and allow it to sit for about 10 minutes.
- Preheat your grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Remove the chicken from the marinade, letting excess liquid drip off, and grill for about 6-8 minutes per side or until cooked through.
- Once the chicken is cooked, let it rest for a few minutes, then slice it and serve topped with the fresh mango salsa.
Notes
For a vegetarian option, substitute chicken with grilled tofu. Adjust the heat in the salsa by modifying jalapeño or using milder peppers.
