Ingredients
  

  • 4 boneless skinless chicken breasts
  • 1 ripe mango peeled and diced
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 2 tbsp fresh lime juice
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 tsp paprika
  • 1/2 tsp cumin
  • 1/2 tsp chili powder
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper
  • 1 tbsp honey
  • 1 tbsp chopped fresh cilantro optional garnish

Method
 

  1. Blend mango, olive oil, lime juice, garlic, paprika, cumin, chili powder, salt, pepper, and honey until smooth.
  2. Place chicken in a bowl or zip bag and pour marinade over it.
  3. Marinate 30–60 minutes in refrigerator.
  4. Preheat grill to medium-high heat.
  5. Remove chicken from marinade and grill 5–6 minutes per side until internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
  6. Let chicken rest 5 minutes before slicing.
  7. Garnish with fresh cilantro and serve warm.

Notes

  • Use ripe mango for natural sweetness and a smooth marinade.
  • Do not over-marinate, as citrus may affect texture.
  • Grill over medium heat to avoid burning sugars in the marinade.
  • Store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and reheat gently.
