Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 large boneless skinless chicken breasts
  • 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
  • 1 large ripe mango, diced
  • ¼ cup red onion, finely chopped
  • Fresh cilantro, chopped

Instructions

  1. Marinate the Chicken: In a mixing bowl, whisk together honey, lime juice, lime zest, olive oil, minced garlic, cumin, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Coat the chicken breasts evenly in the marinade and let sit for at least 30 minutes (overnight for best flavor).
  2. Make Mango Salsa: Combine diced mango, finely chopped red onion, fresh cilantro, lime juice, salt, and pepper in another bowl. Mix well and let it sit for 10–15 minutes.
  3. Cook the Chicken: Preheat your grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Grill the marinated chicken for about 6–7 minutes per side until cooked through (165°F internal temperature). Let rest before slicing.
  4. Serve: Plate the sliced chicken and generously top with fresh mango salsa.
