Description
A delightful blend of sweet and spicy flavors, this Mango Habanero Grilled Chicken is perfect for summer barbecues and family gatherings.
Ingredients
Scale
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 ripe mango, peeled and diced
- 1–2 habanero peppers, seeded and chopped
- 1/4 cup honey
- 2 tablespoons lime juice
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon salt
Instructions
- In a blender, combine the diced mango, habanero peppers, honey, lime juice, and olive oil. Blend until smooth. Season with salt to taste, adjusting sweetness or heat as desired.
- Place the chicken breasts in a large resealable bag. Pour the marinade over the chicken, ensuring it’s well coated. Seal the bag and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or overnight for more flavor.
- Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Make sure the grates are clean and lightly oiled to prevent sticking.
- Remove the chicken from the marinade and discard the leftover marinade. Grill the chicken for about 6-7 minutes on each side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F. Let it rest for a few minutes before serving.
Notes
- For a milder flavor, use jalapeño peppers instead of habaneros.
- Agave syrup can replace honey for a vegan option.
- Use chicken thighs for a juicier texture.
- Store any leftover chicken in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
- To reheat, warm the chicken in the microwave or on the grill.
