Instructions
Making Grilled Mango Chicken is straightforward if you follow these simple steps:
1. Prepare the Marinade: In a bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lime juice, honey, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper.
2. Marinate the Chicken: Place the chicken breasts in a resealable plastic bag or a shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the chicken, ensuring each piece is coated well. Seal the bag or cover the dish and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours for more flavor.
3. Preheat the Grill: Heat your grill to medium-high heat. If using a charcoal grill, ensure the coals are glowing red and covered with ash.
4. Grill the Chicken: Remove the chicken from the marinade, letting excess drip off. Place the chicken on the grill and cook for about 6-7 minutes on each side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C).
5. Add the Mango: In the last 2-3 minutes of grilling, place the diced mango directly on the grill for a few minutes, turning occasionally until slightly charred and warmed through.
6. Rest the Chicken: Once cooked, remove the chicken from the grill and let it rest for a few minutes to retain the juices.
7. Serve: Slice the grilled chicken and top it with the grilled mango. Garnish with fresh cilantro before serving.
These simple steps will lead you to create a dish bursting with flavor and perfect for any occasion.
