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.
In Oct/'24 I had an MRI which revealed i had a torn meniscus, bone spurs and advanced osteoarthritis and that was just the left knee, right not much better. I started doing research and came across Yonder. I started taking 40g/day of Yonder Flavorless Collagen (4 scoops in my coffee) within 2 weeks I noticed a significant drop in my knee pain and by 4 weeks it was almost negligible, at 6 weeks I went into my Chiropractor and she was in shock that I was walking upright without limping.
I've had no steroid shots as recommended by my orthopedic surgeon, and I do not take over the counter pain relievers.
I know the collagen has not repaired my torn meniscus but I believe it has helped diminish the osteoarthritis inflammation which has in turn relieved the pain.
Side note and not something I was "working on" but my hubby says the cellulite on my thighs is not as noticeable! Since the collagen is the only difference in my life I attribute it to that little bonus!
I highly recommend Yonder Collagen!
In the morning when I rise, give me Jesus, coffee and Yonder collagen. I have noticed my knees are not hurting as much and I just feel overall better in my joints. My skin, hair and nails look better too. I have told my friends and family about it and they love it too!
Since I have been using this product, I get so many compliments about how beautiful I look. While I do not see any difference myself, these comments have only started since taking this. At 65 with gray hair and not a lot of time put into makeup and hair, I am grateful.
It is good in coffee or mixed into cottage cheese or yogurt with fruit. If Im craving chocolate it’s satisfying. Also, the “sweetener” flavoring in this is not overwhelming.
Love, love, love this product! My hair, skin and nails have never been healthier!! These women take pride in all that they do and I am so grateful to have found this!!
Love supporting a female owned, christian business that has collagen proteins with proven results. This is tasteless and dissolves well in my morning coffee, and my smoothies. Will definitely purchase again.
I love it. The taste is delicious in my 1st cup of coffee in the morning. I’ve been taking your collagen for quite a while now and my skin looks wonderful and I feel wonderful. Thank you.
