Ingredients
– 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
– 1/4 cup honey
– 1/4 cup fresh lime juice
– 2 tablespoons olive oil
– 2 cloves garlic, minced
– 1 teaspoon ground cumin
– 1 teaspoon salt
– 1/2 teaspoon black pepper

– 1/2 cup fresh cilantro, chopped

Instructions
Follow these simple steps to prepare this incredible Honey Lime Chicken with Mango Salsa:
1. Marinate the Chicken: In a bowl, whisk together honey, lime juice, olive oil, minced garlic, cumin, salt, and pepper. Add the chicken breasts to the marinade, ensuring they are well-coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes (or up to 2 hours for enhanced flavor).
2. Prepare the Mango Salsa: In a separate bowl, combine diced mango, red onion, cilantro, jalapeño (if using), and lime juice. Mix gently and set aside to allow flavors to meld.
3. Preheat Your Grill or Skillet: Heat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Lightly oil the grill grates or skillet.
4. Cook the Chicken: Remove the chicken from the marinade, allowing excess marinade to drip off. Grill the chicken for about 6-7 minutes per side, or until cooked through and internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C).
5. Rest the Chicken: Once cooked, transfer the chicken to a plate and let it rest for 5 minutes. This helps keep the chicken juicy.
6. Slice and Serve: Slice the chicken into strips and serve on a plate topped with a generous scoop of mango salsa.
