A delightful, quick weeknight recipe of honey lime chicken paired with a fresh mango salsa, bringing summer flavors to your table.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 chicken breasts (boneless, skinless)
  • 3 tablespoons honey
  • 2 limes, zest and juice
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 mango, diced
  • 1/4 cup red onion, finely chopped
  • 1 tablespoon lime juice (for salsa)
  • 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro, chopped

Instructions

  1. Whisk the marinade: in a bowl, combine honey, lime zest, lime juice from the 2 limes, minced garlic, olive oil, salt, and pepper until smooth.
  2. Marinate the chicken: place chicken breasts in a shallow dish or zip-top bag and pour the marinade over them. Turn to coat and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes and up to 4 hours.
  3. Prepare the salsa: while chicken marinates or cooks, mix diced mango, red onion, 1 tablespoon lime juice, and chopped cilantro in a bowl. Season lightly with salt and let sit so flavors meld.
  4. Cook the chicken: heat a skillet over medium-high heat with a little oil, or preheat a grill. Remove excess marinade from the chicken and cook 5 to 7 minutes per side for average-thickness breasts, until golden and internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
  5. Rest and finish: let the cooked chicken rest 5 minutes to retain juices. Spoon the mango salsa over each breast right before serving.

Notes

This dish is great for meal prep or casual dinners. Pair with rice or quinoa for a complete meal.
