Equipment

  • Grill or grill pan
  • Mixing Bowls
  • Knife and cutting board
  • Tongs or spatula

Ingredients
  

For the Lime Chicken:

  • 4 boneless skinless chicken breasts
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • Juice and zest of 2 limes
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1 teaspoon chili powder
  • Salt and pepper to taste

For the Mango Salsa:

  • 2 ripe mangoes peeled and diced
  • 1/2 red onion finely chopped
  • 1 red bell pepper diced
  • 1/4 cup fresh cilantro chopped
  • Juice of 1 lime
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions
 

  • Prepare the Chicken:
  • In a small bowl, combine the lime juice, lime zest, olive oil, minced garlic, cumin, chili powder, salt, and pepper. Stir well.
  • Place the chicken breasts in a resealable plastic bag or shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the chicken, making sure it’s evenly coated. Seal the bag or cover the dish and refrigerate for at least 15 minutes (or up to 2 hours for more flavor).
  • Make the Mango Salsa:
  • In a medium bowl, combine the diced mango, red onion, red bell pepper, cilantro, and lime juice. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Stir gently and set aside to allow the flavors to meld.
  • Cook the Chicken:
  • Heat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Once hot, remove the chicken from the marinade and discard any excess marinade.
  • Grill the chicken for about 6-7 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C) and the chicken is fully cooked.
  • Remove the chicken from the grill and let it rest for a few minutes.
  • Assemble the Dish:
  • Slice the grilled chicken into thin strips or serve whole. Top each chicken breast with a generous spoonful of mango salsa.
  • Serve with your choice of rice, salad, or vegetables.

Notes

Tips:

  • You can also cook the chicken in a skillet over medium heat if you don’t have a grill.
  • For extra flavor, you can marinate the chicken for a longer period (up to 2 hours).
  • The mango salsa can be made ahead and stored in the fridge for up to 2 hours before serving.
