Prepare to be blown away by a dish that's all about flavor, fun, and fantastic food moments. The star of the show? Grilled chicken that's so good, you'll be dreaming about it for days.
But wait, there's more! Enter the scene-stealing mango avocado salsa that's like a cool breeze on a hot day—it's the perfect partner in crime for that grilled goodness.
Let's talk teamwork: sweet mangos and ripe avocados, the dynamic duo that's here to prove opposites really do attract. These two tastes create a harmony that'll have your taste buds singing.
Now, let's talk chicken. This isn't your average bird. No, this chicken is marinated to perfection with a blend of flavors that's nothing short of magical. The marinade takes just minutes to come together—simple ingredients, a quick whisk, and you're on your way to flavor heaven.
And grilling this masterpiece? It's a breeze. The chicken hits the grill, and as it cooks, you'll brush it with a bit of that reserved marinade. The result? Juicy, tender, and packed with a punch of flavor that'll leave you wanting seconds, maybe even thirds.
So, here's the game plan: gather your ingredients, fire up the grill, and get ready to experience a dish that's a true celebration of taste and texture. Grilled chicken with a tasty mango avocado salsa—it's not just a recipe; it's a delicious adventure waiting to happen.
PREP: Trim the chicken breasts of fat and pound them to an even thickness to ensure even grilling. You can also slice them evenly in half widthwise for a quicker grill. Place the prepared chicken in a large resealable bag and set aside.
In a mixing bowl, whisk together three tablespoons of olive oil, lime juice and zest, cumin, chili powder, Tajin, minced garlic, honey, salt, pepper, and chopped cilantro. Reserve about 1/2 cup of marinade, and pour the rest into the resealable bag.
Marinate chicken for 30 minutes to an hour in the fridge. (However, you can marinate for up to 24 hours).
When the chicken is done marinating, take it out of the fridge and let it sit for 10-15 minutes at room temperature.
CILANTRO LIME CHICKEN
The instructions below are to grill the chicken. Lightly oil the grill grate or grill ridges on a grill pan or add 1 tablespoon oil to a skillet and then place the marinated chicken on the grill. Discard leftover marinade.
Grill for 10-12 minutes or until chicken juices run clear and internal temperature is at 165 degrees F. Flip the chicken halfway and brush it generously with the reserved 1/2 cup marinade.
MANGO AVOCADO SALSA
Mix ½ tbsp olive oil, 3 tbsp lime juice, lime zest, 1 tsp garlic powder and mix together. Set aside.
(OPTIONAL: When grilling the chicken, also grill the mango. Brush with oil and grill on one side for about 4-5 minutes at medium-high heat.)
Chop the mango, tomatoes and avocado into bite-sized pieces. Finely chop the red onion, cilantro and jalapeño, then add all chopped ingredients together and toss in lime juice & oil mixture. Season the salsa to taste with salt & pepper.
Recipe Note
Tip: I like to make a salsa before I start cooking my chicken in order to allow time for all the flavors to marinate together.
The organic mushroom coffee was so good that I will be reordering it from now on. I am a picky coffee drinker, and I have few select roasts from a few companies I order from. Yonder's makes the short list!
I put Yonder collagen in my coffee every morning. It truly is flavorless! As a side note: the short handled "spoon" gets buried and is not accessible until 2/3 of the product is used.
This is a great size for this product. Very happy it has come out. I love these collagen peptide products from Yonder. It’s quality you can expect. Recovering from different cancers, I have tried to find things that are better for you and help repair the damages that can be created by the “regiment” of things given to cancer patients.
No one knows this better than the founders of Yonder and I am extremely blessed to have found this company that reflects the heart & soul of how I feel. Thank you for your diligence in creating such a great product that reflects your care & compassion for others who are going through their own journey.
I add this to my morning protein drink and it truly is flavorless. It also mixes well in my shaker cup. I love that it's made in the USA and it's a small business!
Have tried many different types of collagen. Yonder's product is a winner in my book. It is truly flavorless and blends well. I love the story and philosophy behind it. Buy a 3-pack and save some $. Give it a try!
I’ve been using this collagen for over a year and my hair, skin and nails are in great condition. I buy the 5-pack and vanilla cream is delicious. Thanks so much!
I have been on a health journey for over 6 years. After cutting out grains and sugars I decided to look into supplements. I have been struggling with several symptoms of perimenopause. One being insomnia and hair loss. I have only been using the flavorless collagen for a few weeks and I can already see and feel a huge difference. I started taking two scoops before bed and to my amazement I am sleeping better and longer. Plus my hair is not shedding no where like it was before. I’m already going to order more and I’m not even out of my first container yet. Fantastic product and extremely happy I took the plunge to purchase this.
I absolutely love Yonder Collagen!
I had been using a well known brand of collagen for the last 2 1/2 years, they changed their packaging, and it wasn’t long after that, I could tell the texture of my nails and hair was changing. I figured when they changed the packaging, they definitely had changed the product as well, that’s when I found Yonder!
I saw the ads for Yonder, I loved their story, love the larger sizes as my husband is using Yonder as well, loved how they care about only using the best product with NO fillers…. and love how they reach out, and give to help others as well!!!
Love that you are all natural . Been using it for almost 2 months , noticed my nails and hair are getting better. Love that you donate to Tim Tebow saving children and traffic victims.
