Description
Grilled Mango Pineapple Chicken is a delicious and tropical dish that combines the sweetness of mango and pineapple with savory grilled chicken, perfect for summer barbecues.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 1 pound)
- 1 ripe mango, peeled and diced
- 1 cup fresh pineapple, diced
- 1/4 cup soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon fresh ginger, grated
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon lime juice
- Chopped fresh cilantro for garnish
Instructions
- In a medium bowl, combine the diced mango, pineapple, soy sauce, honey, olive oil, minced garlic, grated ginger, black pepper, salt, and lime juice. Mix well to create a marinade.
- Place the chicken breasts in a resealable plastic bag or shallow dish and pour the marinade over them. Seal the bag or cover the dish and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or up to 4 hours for more flavor.
- Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. Remove the chicken from the marinade, allowing excess marinade to drip off.
- Grill the chicken for about 6-7 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F and the chicken is cooked through.
- While the chicken is grilling, you can also grill any remaining pineapple and mango pieces for added flavor, about 2-3 minutes per side.
- Once cooked, remove the chicken from the grill and let it rest for 5 minutes. Slice the chicken and serve it topped with the grilled fruit and garnished with fresh cilantro.
Notes
- For a spicier kick, add a teaspoon of red pepper flakes to the marinade.
- Substitute the chicken with shrimp or tofu for a different protein option, adjusting the cooking time as needed.
