Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 large boneless, skinless chicken breasts (or 4 small)
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • Juice and zest of 2 limes
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • ½ teaspoon smoked paprika
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 large ripe mango, diced
  • ¼ cup red onion, finely chopped
  • 1 small jalapeño, seeded and minced (optional)
  • 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro, chopped
  • Juice of 1 lime
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • Cooked rice, quinoa, salad greens, or tortillas
  • Lime wedges

Instructions

  1. Marinate the Chicken: In a small bowl, whisk together honey, lime juice, lime zest, olive oil, garlic, cumin, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Place chicken in a shallow dish or a resealable bag. Pour marinade over the chicken and coat well. Marinate for at least 30 minutes or up to 12 hours in the fridge.
  2. Make the Mango Salsa: In a medium bowl, combine diced mango, red onion, jalapeño (if using), and cilantro. Squeeze lime juice over the mixture and season with salt and pepper. Stir well and let sit for 10-15 minutes for flavors to meld.
  3. Cook the Chicken:
  4. Grilling: Preheat grill to medium-high. Grill chicken for 5-6 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C). Let rest for 5 minutes before slicing.
  5. Skillet: Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Cook chicken for 5-7 minutes per side until cooked through. Rest before slicing.
  6. Baking: Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Place chicken in a baking dish and bake for 20-25 minutes or until fully cooked. Let rest before slicing.
  7. Assemble and Serve: Slice the chicken. Serve over rice, quinoa, salad, or tortillas. Top generously with mango salsa and lime wedges. Enjoy!

Notes

Marinating the chicken longer enhances flavor. Adjust jalapeño for heat preference.
