Print Recipe

A vibrant and tangy chicken dish marinated in honey and lime, paired with a refreshing mango salsa.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 large boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • Juice and zest of 2 limes
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • ½ teaspoon smoked paprika
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 large ripe mango, diced
  • ¼ cup red onion, finely chopped
  • 1 small jalapeño, seeded and minced (optional)
  • 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro, chopped
  • Juice of 1 lime
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • Cooked rice, quinoa, salad greens, or tortillas (for serving)
  • Lime wedges (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Marinate the chicken: In a mixing bowl, combine the honey, lime juice, lime zest, olive oil, minced garlic, cumin, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper. Whisk until smooth. Add the chicken and make sure it’s well-coated in the marinade. Cover and let it marinate for at least 30 minutes (or up to 4 hours!) in the refrigerator.
  2. Prepare the salsa: In a separate bowl, mix the diced mango, red onion, minced jalapeño (if using), chopped cilantro, lime juice, salt, and pepper. Gently fold to combine.
  3. Preheat the grill: Preheat your grill or grill pan to medium-high heat. Lightly grease the grill grates.
  4. Cook the chicken: Remove the chicken from the marinade and place it on the grill. Cook for about 5-7 minutes on each side or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F.
  5. Rest the chicken: Transfer the chicken to a cutting board and let it rest for about 5 minutes before slicing.
  6. Plate the dish: Slice the chicken against the grain into strips and serve with the mango salsa and garnished with lime wedges.

Notes

For a vegan option, substitute chicken with tofu or portobello mushrooms.
