Ingredients
Marinade
- 0.5 cup fresh mango puree
- 0.25 cup lime juice freshly squeezed
- 3 tablespoon olive oil
- 2 clove garlic minced
- 1 teaspoon grated ginger
- 0.5 teaspoon honey
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper

- 4 piece boneless, skinless chicken breasts about 6-8 oz each
Garnish

Instructions
Preparation Steps
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the mango puree, lime juice, olive oil, minced garlic, grated ginger, honey, salt, and pepper. This is your marinade.
- Place the chicken breasts in a resealable plastic bag or a shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the chicken, ensuring it is evenly coated. Marinate for at least 30 minutes at room temperature, or up to 4 hours in the refrigerator.
- Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Lightly oil the grill grates to prevent sticking.
- Remove chicken from the marinade, discarding any excess marinade.
- Grill the chicken for about 6-8 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C) and the chicken is cooked through and has nice grill marks.
- Let the chicken rest for 5 minutes before slicing.
- Serve the grilled mango lime chicken topped with fresh cilantro and lime wedges.
