Instructions

1. Step 1: In a small bowl, combine 3 tbsp olive oil, 1 tsp ground cumin, 1 tsp smoked paprika, 1/2 tsp garlic powder, 1 tsp salt, and 1/2 tsp black pepper. Rub this spice mixture evenly over 4 boneless skinless chicken breasts.
2. Step 2: Preheat grill to medium-high heat (about 400°F). Grill the chicken breasts for 6-7 minutes per side until internal temperature reaches 165°F and the exterior is nicely charred.
3. Step 3: While the chicken cooks, prepare the mango salsa by combining 1 large diced ripe mango, 1 small finely diced red bell pepper, 1/4 cup finely chopped red onion, 1 small minced jalapeño (seeded for less heat), 2 tbsp chopped cilantro, 2 tbsp fresh lime juice, and 1 tsp honey in a bowl. Stir gently until combined.
4. Step 4: Let the grilled chicken rest for 5 minutes before slicing. Serve the chicken topped with 1/2 cup of the spiced mango salsa per serving for a fresh, colorful contrast.
