Ingredients
For the grilled chicken
- 4 boneless skinless chicken breasts
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- Juice of 1 lime
For the mango avocado salsa
- 1 ripe mango diced
- 1 ripe avocado diced
- ¼ cup red onion finely chopped
- ¼ cup fresh cilantro chopped
- 1 small jalapeño seeded and minced (optional for heat)
- Juice of 1 lime
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Prepare the chicken: In a bowl, combine olive oil, smoked paprika, garlic powder, salt, pepper, and lime juice. Rub this mixture all over the chicken breasts.
- Preheat your grill or grill pan: Medium-high heat is ideal.
- Grill the chicken: Cook chicken for about 6-7 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C) and the chicken is nicely charred.
- Make the salsa: While the chicken cooks, gently toss mango, avocado, red onion, cilantro, jalapeño, lime juice, salt, and pepper together in a bowl.
- Serve: Place grilled chicken on plates and generously spoon mango avocado salsa on top.
Notes
- Use ripe mangoes and avocados for the best texture and flavor in your salsa.
- Don’t overcook the chicken; grilling just until juicy keeps it tender.
- If you don’t have a grill, a grill pan or even a hot skillet works well.
- For extra zest, add a sprinkle of chili flakes or a dash of hot sauce to the salsa.
