Ingredients
  

  • 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

Method
 

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. Remove the chicken from the marinade, allowing excess marinade to drip off.
  4. Grill the chicken for about 6-7 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F and the chicken is cooked through.
  5. While the chicken is grilling, you can also grill any remaining pineapple and mango pieces for added flavor, about 2-3 minutes per side.
  6. 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.
