Instructions
Creating Easy Honey Lime Chicken with Mango Salsa is straightforward if you follow these simple steps:
1. Prepare the Marinade: In a bowl, whisk together honey, lime juice, olive oil, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper.
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 is well-coated. Seal the bag or cover the dish and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
3. Make the Salsa: In another bowl, combine diced mango, red onion, jalapeño (if using), cilantro, lime juice, salt, and pepper. Mix well and set aside to let the flavors meld.
4. Cook the Chicken: Preheat your grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Remove the chicken from the marinade and grill for 6-7 minutes on each side or until fully cooked and the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C).
5. Serve: Once cooked, remove the chicken from the grill and let it rest for a few minutes. Slice the chicken and serve it topped with the mango salsa.
