Equipment

  • grill
  • mixing bowl
  • meat thermometer

Ingredients
  

Marinade

  • 1 ripe mango, diced
  • 2 limes juice and zest
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin

Instructions
 

Preparation Steps

  • Prepare the Marinade: In a bowl, combine the juice and zest of the limes, diced mango, olive oil, honey, minced garlic, cumin, salt, and black pepper.
  • Marinate the Chicken: Place the chicken breasts in a resealable bag or shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the chicken, ensuring they are well coated. Seal the bag or cover the dish and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes or up to 2 hours.
  • Preheat the Grill: Heat your grill to medium-high heat. Ensure the grates are clean and lightly oiled to prevent sticking.
  • Grill the Chicken: Remove the chicken from the marinade, allowing excess marinade to drip off. Place the chicken on the grill. Cook for 5-7 minutes on each side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C).
  • Check for Doneness: Use a meat thermometer to ensure the chicken is cooked through. If you don’t have one, cut into the thickest part of the chicken—it should be opaque and juices should run clear.
  • Rest the Chicken: Once cooked, remove the chicken from the grill and let it rest for about 5 minutes. This allows the juices to redistribute, making the chicken more tender.
  • Garnish and Serve: Optionally, sprinkle freshly chopped cilantro over the chicken before serving for a pop of color and flavor.
