Ingredients:
- 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1 tablespoon lime juice
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 2 cups cooked rice
- 1 ripe mango, diced
- 1/4 cup red onion, finely diced
- 1 jalapeño, seeded and minced
- 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro, chopped
- 1 tablespoon lime juice (for salsa)
- Salt to taste
What You’ll Need
A grill pan works great for cooking the chicken, and a sharp paring knife makes dicing the mango quick and easy.
Directions:
- In a small bowl, whisk together honey, lime juice, olive oil, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
- Pour the marinade over the chicken breasts and let sit for at least 15 minutes.
- Heat a grill pan over medium-high heat and cook the chicken for 6-7 minutes per side, until fully cooked through.
- Meanwhile, combine the diced mango, red onion, jalapeño, cilantro, and lime juice in a bowl. Season with a pinch of salt.
- Let the chicken rest for 5 minutes, then slice.
- Serve the sliced chicken over rice, topped generously with mango salsa.
Notes: For meal prep, store the salsa separately from the chicken and rice to keep everything fresh.
