Instructions
Creating your Grilled Mango Chicken is straightforward if you follow these clear steps:
1. Prepare the Marinade: In a mixing bowl, combine lime juice, olive oil, honey, minced garlic, cumin, paprika, salt, and pepper. Whisk until well blended.
2. Marinate the Chicken: Place the chicken breasts in a resealable plastic bag or shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the chicken, ensuring it’s evenly coated. Seal the bag or cover the dish and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
3. Preheat the Grill: While the chicken is marinating, preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
4. Prepare the Mango Salsa: In a separate bowl, mix the diced mango with a pinch of salt and a squeeze of lime juice. Set aside for later.
5. Grill the Chicken: Remove the chicken from the marinade and discard the marinade. Place the chicken on the hot grill. Cook for about 6-7 minutes on each side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C).
6. Rest the Chicken: Once cooked, transfer the chicken to a plate and let it rest for 5 minutes. This allows the juices to redistribute.
7. Serve with Mango Salsa: Top the grilled chicken with the prepared mango salsa for a fresh, vibrant touch.
8. Garnish: If desired, sprinkle fresh cilantro over the chicken for added flavor and presentation.
