Instructions
Making Grilled Mango Chicken is easy when you follow these simple steps:
1. Prepare the Marinade: In a mixing bowl, combine diced mangoes, lime juice, olive oil, minced garlic, honey, cumin, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to create a smooth marinade.
2. Marinate the Chicken: Place the chicken breasts in a resealable plastic bag or a shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the chicken, ensuring it’s well coated. Seal the bag or cover the dish and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.
3. Preheat the Grill: Heat your grill to medium-high heat. If using a grill pan, preheat it over medium heat on the stovetop.
4. Remove Chicken from Marinade: Take the marinated chicken out of the refrigerator, allowing any excess marinade to drip off.
5. Grill the Chicken: Place the chicken on the grill. Cook for about 6-8 minutes on each side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C). The chicken should have beautiful grill marks and be cooked through.
6. Rest the Chicken: Once cooked, remove the chicken from the grill and let it rest for 5 minutes. This helps retain the juices.
7. Serve with Extra Mango Salsa: If desired, use any remaining marinade to create a fresh salsa by adding chopped cilantro and lime juice.
8. Garnish: Serve the chicken garnished with fresh cilantro and lime wedges for an extra burst of flavor.
