Grilled Mango Chicken

One of the reasons chicken is the protein of choice at our dinner table is that there are so many ways to make it. And while I have oodles of recipes for making delicious chicken dinners, this Grilled Mango Chicken recipe is one that consistently gets the thumbs-up at our house.

Ingredients :
  • 2 cups mango , fresh or jarred
  • 2 cloves garlic , roughly chopped
  • 1 cup lite coconut milk
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
  • 1 tablespoon fresh ginger , grated
  • 1 tablespoon light brown sugar
  • 1 coarse kosher salt
  • Zest of 1 lime
  • 4 boneless skinless chicken breasts , trimmed
  • Mango Salsa
Directions :

  1. In a large food processor, combine the mango and garlic. Pulse until a paste forms. Add the coconut milk, lime juice, ginger, brown sugar, salt and lime zest. Blend until fully combined, some coarser pieces are fine.

  2. Transfer the marinade to a large bowl or airtight plastic bag. Place the chicken in the bowl or bag, cover to coat and chill for 12-24 hours.

  3. When ready to grill, remove the chicken from the marinade, discarding any excess.

  4. Preheat the grill to 350°F and generously oil the grates.

  5. Grill over indirect heat for 25-30 minutes or until they reach an internal temperature of 160°F. Remove from the grill and rest for 5 minutes.

  6. Slice the chicken and then top with mango salsa.
