Instructions

1. Step 1: Pat dry 4 chicken breasts (6 oz each) and season with 1/2 tsp salt and 1/4 tsp black pepper. Heat 3 tbsp olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add chicken and cook for 6-7 minutes per side until golden brown and cooked through, reaching an internal temperature of 165°F; remove and keep warm.
2. Step 2: In the same skillet, add 3 minced garlic cloves and sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant. Pour in 1/2 cup orange juice, 1/4 cup lime juice, and 2 tbsp honey. Stir and simmer for 4-5 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly and coats the back of a spoon.
3. Step 3: Meanwhile, combine in a bowl 1 diced medium mango, 1/2 cup finely diced red bell pepper, 1/4 cup finely diced red onion, 2 tbsp chopped fresh cilantro, 1 finely chopped seeded jalapeño, 1/2 tsp salt, and 1/4 tsp black pepper. Toss gently to make the mango salsa.
4. Step 4: Return chicken to the skillet and spoon the citrus glaze over each piece, cooking for an additional 1 minute to coat.
5. Step 5: Serve the glazed chicken topped with a generous scoop of mango salsa for a bright contrast.
