Method
Preparation
- In a bowl, whisk together honey, lime juice and zest, olive oil, minced garlic, ground cumin, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper until well combined.
- Place the chicken breasts in a shallow dish or a resealable plastic bag. Pour the marinade over the chicken, ensuring the pieces are fully coated. Seal and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, ideally up to 12 hours.
Make the salsa
- In a separate bowl, mix diced mango, finely chopped red onion, minced jalapeño, chopped cilantro, lime juice, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Let the salsa rest at room temperature for 10 to 15 minutes.
Cooking
- Choose your preferred method to cook the chicken: Grill over medium-high heat for 5 to 6 minutes per side, pan sear in a lightly oiled skillet on medium heat for 5 to 7 minutes per side, or bake in a preheated oven at 400°F (200°C) for 20 to 25 minutes.
- Cook until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C) and the chicken is cooked through.
Serving
- Let the chicken rest for a few minutes after cooking. Slice the chicken and top with the fresh mango salsa. Serve immediately alongside rice, quinoa, a fresh salad, or warm tortillas.
Notes
Marinate the chicken overnight for even better flavor. Adjust the seasoning of the mango salsa according to your taste.
