Prep : 10 Total : 25 minutes

Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients

  • 2 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 1 whole ripe mango, peeled and diced
  • 1 cup fresh pineapple chunks
  • 0.25 cup olive oil
  • 3 tablespoon soy sauce
  • 2 tablespoon honey
  • 2 clove garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon lime juice
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 0.5 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • tsp salt to taste
  • tsp black pepper to taste

Instructions
 

Preparation Steps

  • In a medium bowl, whisk together olive oil, soy sauce, honey, minced garlic, lime juice, cumin, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper to create the marinade.
  • Place chicken breasts in a resealable plastic bag or shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the chicken, ensuring it's fully coated. Seal and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 4 hours for deeper flavor.
  • Preheat an outdoor grill or grill pan to medium-high heat. Lightly oil the grates to prevent sticking.
  • Remove chicken from the marinade and discard excess liquid. Grill chicken for 6–7 minutes per side, or until internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
  • While chicken is resting, toss diced mango and pineapple chunks with a splash of lime juice to keep them fresh and vibrant.
  • Slice grilled chicken into strips and top each serving with fresh mango-pineapple mixture. Garnish with chopped cilantro if desired.

Notes

Garnish with fresh cilantro or parsley for added color and flavor.
