Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 2 boneless skinless chicken breasts
  • 2 ripe mangoes peeled and sliced
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil 15 ml
  • 1 tablespoon honey 15 ml
  • 1 tablespoon chili powder 15 ml
  • 1 tablespoon smoked paprika 15 ml
  • 1 teaspoon salt 5 ml
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper 2.5 ml
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • Juice of 1 lime approx. 30 ml
  • A handful of fresh cilantro chopped (optional for garnish)

Method
 

  1. Start by marinating the chicken. In a mixing bowl, whisk together olive oil, honey, chili powder, smoked paprika, salt, black pepper, minced garlic, and lime juice.
  2. Immerse the chicken breasts into this spicy marinade, ensuring every part is well-coated. Allow it to sit for at least 30 minutes; the longer, the better!
  3. Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
  4. Once ready, place the chicken on the grill. Cook each side for about 7-9 minutes or until fully cooked through.
  5. Halfway through grilling the chicken, arrange the mango slices on the grill. These need just about 2-3 minutes on each side to get those beautiful grill marks.
  6. Remove the Spicy Grilled Chicken and Mango from the grill and let them rest for a few minutes. This lets the juices redistribute, ensuring every bite is juicy.

Notes

TIPS:
1. Always pick ripe mangoes. They’re sweeter, juicier, and add a fantastic contrast to the spicy chicken.
2. Marinating the chicken overnight can intensify the flavors.
3. If you’re watching your sugar intake, feel free to reduce or omit the honey. The Spicy Grilled Chicken with Mango will still be a hit!
4. While grilling the mango, avoid overcooking. You want it slightly charred but still firm.
 
SERVING SUGGESTIONS:
 Serve the Spicy Grilled Chicken with a side of grilled vegetables like bell peppers and zucchinis.
 Drizzle some fresh lime juice over the chicken for an extra zest.
