2 tablespoons honey
Juice and zest of 2 limes
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1 large ripe mango, diced
1/4 cup red onion, finely chopped
1 small jalapeño, seeded and minced
2 tablespoons fresh cilantro, chopped
Juice of 1 additional lime
Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Whisk honey, lime juice, zest, olive oil, garlic, cumin, paprika, salt, and pepper; marinate chicken for 30-60 minutes.
  2. In a separate bowl, toss diced mango, red onion, jalapeño, cilantro, and additional lime juice to create the salsa.

  • For a spicier salsa, leave some jalapeño seeds in.
  • Ensure the grill is hot before adding chicken to get the best sear.
