Ingredients

• 4 pieces (6 oz each) boneless skinless chicken breasts
• 1/4 cup fresh lime juice
• 1/4 cup orange juice
• 2 tbsp olive oil
• 3 cloves minced garlic
• 1 tsp ground cumin
• 1 tsp salt
• 1/2 tsp black pepper
• 1 medium, diced ripe mango
• 1/2 cup diced red bell pepper
• 1/4 cup finely chopped red onion
• 2 tbsp chopped fresh cilantro
• 1 small, seeded and finely chopped jalapeño
• 1 tsp honey

Instructions

1. Step 1: In a bowl, whisk together 1/4 cup fresh lime juice, 1/4 cup orange juice, 2 tbsp olive oil, 3 cloves minced garlic, 1 tsp ground cumin, 1 tsp salt, and 1/2 tsp black pepper to create the marinade. Place 4 boneless skinless chicken breasts into a resealable bag and pour the marinade over them. Seal and refrigerate for at least 1 hour or up to 4 hours to infuse flavors.
2. Step 2: While the chicken marinates, prepare the mango salsa by combining 1 medium diced ripe mango, 1/2 cup diced red bell pepper, 1/4 cup finely chopped red onion, 2 tbsp chopped fresh cilantro, 1 small seeded and finely chopped jalapeño, and 1 tsp honey in a bowl. Stir gently and refrigerate until ready to serve.
3. Step 3: Preheat a grill or grill pan to medium-high heat (about 400°F). Remove chicken breasts from marinade, letting excess drip off. Grill chicken for 6-7 minutes per side or until internal temperature reaches 165°F, and the outside is nicely charred and juicy.
4. Step 4: Transfer grilled chicken to a plate and let rest for 5 minutes. Serve topped generously with the fresh mango salsa for a vibrant, tropical main dish.
