• Mango (diced)
• Red onion (diced)

Directions

1. In a bowl, mix honey, lime juice, olive oil, salt, and black pepper to create the marinade.
2. Marinate the chicken in the mixture for at least 30 minutes.
3. Preheat the grill or oven.
4. Cook the chicken on medium heat until fully cooked and juices run clear, about 6-7 minutes per side on the grill or 20-25 minutes in the oven.
5. In a separate bowl, combine diced mango, red onion, cilantro, and jalapeño to make the mango salsa.

How to Serve Honey Lime Chicken

Serve the Honey Lime Chicken hot, topped with the fresh mango salsa. It goes well with steamed rice, a colorful salad, or warm tortillas. You can also add some extra lime wedges for a zesty kick.

How to Store Honey Lime Chicken

Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator. The chicken should be eaten within 3-4 days. You can reheat it in the oven or microwave until hot throughout. The mango salsa is best enjoyed fresh but can also be stored in the fridge for up to 2 days.

Tips to Make Honey Lime Chicken

• For extra flavor, let the chicken marinate longer—up to 2 hours is great!
• Ensure the grill or oven is properly preheated to get nice grill marks or even cooking.
• Use ripe mango for the best taste in your salsa.
• Feel free to adjust the spice level by adding more or less jalapeño.

Variation

You can change the fruit in the salsa to suit your taste! Pineapple or peach can be excellent alternatives to mango. They bring a different sweetness and flavor that pairs wonderfully with the chicken.

FAQs

1. Can I use chicken thighs instead of chicken breasts?
Yes! Chicken thighs will work well and add more flavor. Just adjust the cooking time as they may take a bit longer.

2. Is this recipe gluten-free?
Yes, all the ingredients are gluten-free, so this dish fits well into a gluten-free diet.

3. Can I bake the chicken instead of grilling?
Absolutely! Baking is a great option. Just preheat your oven and cook the chicken until it reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C).
