Ingredients

INGREDIENTS

• 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• Juice of 2 limes
• 1 teaspoon chipotle powder
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• Salt and pepper to taste
• 1 ripe mango, diced
• 1 avocado, diced
• 1/4 cup red onion, finely chopped
• 1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
• Juice of 1 lime (for salsa)

Instructions

1. In a bowl, whisk together olive oil, lime juice, chipotle powder, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
2. Add the chicken breasts to the marinade, ensuring they are well-coated. Let marinate for at least 30 minutes.
3. Preheat the grill to medium-high heat.
4. Remove the chicken from the marinade and place on the grill. Cook for 6-7 minutes on each side, or until fully cooked and internal temperature reaches 165°F.
5. While the chicken is grilling, combine the diced mango, avocado, red onion, cilantro, and lime juice in a bowl. Gently toss to mix.
6. Once the chicken is cooked, remove it from the grill and let it rest for a few minutes before slicing.
7. Serve the grilled chicken topped with the mango-avocado salsa.

Notes

For added flavor, consider grilling the mango and avocado for a few minutes to enhance their sweetness.

For the best flavor, marinate the chicken for at least 30 minutes (or even overnight) to allow the spices to penetrate. If you’re short on time, a quick 15-minute marinade will still impart great taste. Don’t hesitate to adjust the chipotle powder to your spice preference!

Feel free to customize the salsa by adding ingredients such as red onion or cilantro for an extra kick. Leftover chicken can be stored in the fridge for 3-4 days and is delicious in salads or wraps.
