Instructions

Making Honey Lime Chicken with Mango Salsa is simple if you follow these steps:

1. Prepare the Marinade: In a bowl, whisk together honey, lime juice, minced garlic, cumin, chili powder, salt, and pepper.
2. Marinate the Chicken: Place chicken breasts in a resealable plastic bag or shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the chicken, ensuring all pieces are coated. Seal the bag and refrigerate for at least 20-30 minutes.
3. Prepare the Mango Salsa: While the chicken marinates, combine diced mango, red onion, jalapeño (if using), cilantro, lime juice, and salt in a bowl. Toss well and set aside for flavors to meld.
4. Heat the Grill or Pan: Preheat your grill or a skillet over medium-high heat and add olive oil.
5. Cook the Chicken: Remove the chicken from the marinade and cook on the grill or skillet for about 6-7 minutes on each side or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C).
6. Rest the Chicken: Once cooked, transfer the chicken to a plate and let it rest for 5 minutes.
7. Slice the Chicken: Slice the chicken into strips or serve whole as desired.
8. Top with Salsa: Spoon the mango salsa generously over the chicken right before serving.
9. Garnish: Add extra cilantro or lime wedges for garnish if desired.

These steps will guide you to create a delicious Honey Lime Chicken with Mango Salsa that tastes incredible and delights the senses.
