Ingredients
For the Chicken
- 4 pieces Chicken breasts
- 1/3 cup Honey Use fresh honey for best flavor
- 1/4 cup Lime juice Freshly squeezed recommended
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil Adjust for flavor preference
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1/2 teaspoon Pepper Adjust based on taste
For the Mango Salsa
- 1 cup Mango, diced Use ripe mango for best flavor
- 1/4 cup Red onion, diced
- 1/4 cup Cilantro, chopped
- 1 tablespoon Jalapeño, minced (optional) Remove seeds for less heat
Instructions
Preparation
- In a mixing bowl, blend honey, lime juice, olive oil, minced garlic, salt, and pepper until well combined.
- Place the chicken breasts into a shallow dish and pour the marinade over them, ensuring they are thoroughly coated. Cover and marinate.
- Prepare the mango salsa by dicing the mangoes and red onion, and chopping the cilantro. If using jalapeño, mince it as well. Combine in a bowl and mix gently.
Cooking
- Heat a griddle or grill pan over medium-high heat. Place the marinated chicken breasts on the pan and cook until golden brown.
- Flip the chicken and cook until no longer pink in the center and juices run clear, about 5-7 minutes.
- Remove chicken from heat and let it rest for a couple of minutes before slicing.
Serving
- Serve the sliced chicken alongside the mango salsa.
Notes
For best results, allow chicken to marinate for at least 15-30 minutes. Use fresh lime juice and rest the chicken after cooking for juiciness.
