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.
I have used several collagen products, but was interested in Yonder as a smaller, woman owned business. I found the taste and solubility better for Yonder than for other products. I tried a bone broth product thinking it was the same thing but it not only didn't taste good it didn't help with the inflammation in my joints. Once I was back using Yonder the inflammation reduced significantly.
I have been using collagen powder since after finishing chemotherapy in 2020. Yonder collagen powder with MCT is the best tasting powder for my coffee. The best thing is that the muscle pain and stiffness from my medication to keep the cancer from returning, is mostly gone. My hair is healthy again, and overall I just feel so much better.
My favorite Yonder collagen is the decadent chocolate. When it comes to enjoying chocolate while staying healthy, Yonder Chocolate Collagen is a total game-changer. On hot days, I mix it with cold milk for a creamy, refreshing treat that feels indulgent but has zero sugar. It satisfies your sweet cravings without any guilt! And when the weather turns chilly, I whip it up into a cozy, warm hot chocolate that’s perfect for starting cold mornings. Thank you, Yonder, for creating the perfect treat while supporting a healthier lifestyle.
Very happy with this product! Tastes great and love the customer service. Nice to be able to trust a small business amidst all the competition. Will definitely re-order.
This collagen is the best tasting. My hair dresser noticed a difference in the health of my hair without me telling her anything.
God bless you for making such a great natural product that works.
I absolutely love having vanilla flavor, protein powder with MTC. I trust in the clean process of which is product was made, and I trust in it’s owners!
