Instructions

Step 1: Rub 4 chicken breasts with 2 tablespoons jerk seasoning and 2 tablespoons olive oil evenly, coating all sides. Let marinate at room temperature for 15 minutes.
Step 2: While the chicken marinates, combine 1 large diced mango, 1 small diced red bell pepper, 1/4 cup finely chopped red onion, 2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro, 2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lime juice, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper in a bowl. Mix gently and refrigerate until serving to allow flavors to meld.
Step 3: Preheat grill to medium-high heat (about 400°F). Grill the seasoned chicken breasts for 6-7 minutes per side, until internal temperature reaches 165°F and the surface is slightly charred and fragrant.
Step 4: Remove chicken from grill and let rest for 5 minutes. Serve topped with the chilled mango salsa for a refreshing balance to the spicy jerk flavor.
