Description
A tropical delight featuring grilled chicken marinated in mango-pineapple salsa and served with bell peppers, diced mango, and pineapple.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 ½ pounds thin-sliced boneless skinless chicken breasts (4 breasts)
- 8 ounces Island Salsa or favorite mango-pineapple salsa
- ⅓ cup lime juice
- ¼ cup olive oil
- ½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper or to taste
- 1 large yellow bell pepper, sliced into 1/2-inch wide strips
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt or to taste
- ½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper or to taste
- 4 ounces Island Salsa or as desired for garnishing
- ½ cup diced mango (thawed and drained if using frozen)
- ⅓ cup pineapple tidbits (thawed and drained if using frozen)
- 2 to 4 tablespoons fresh cilantro (optional for garnishing)
Instructions
- Add the chicken, salsa, lime juice, olive oil, and black pepper to a large ziptop plastic bag, seal it, and smoosh around to evenly coat the chicken. Marinate in the fridge for at least 30 minutes or overnight.
- Lightly oil the grill grates and preheat the grill to medium-high heat.
- Add the sliced peppers to a grill basket, drizzle with olive oil, season with salt and pepper, and toss to coat.
- Place the chicken on one side of the grill and the grill basket of peppers on the other side. Discard the marinade bag.
- Grill the chicken for about 4 to 5 minutes on the first side with the lid closed, flip, and cook for another 4 to 5 minutes on the second side or until cooked through.
- While the chicken cooks, intermittently stir the peppers with tongs and cook until desired doneness.
- Place the grilled chicken on a serving platter, top each breast with additional salsa, evenly distribute the mango and pineapple, sprinkle with cilantro if desired, and serve immediately.
Notes
- For additional flavor, marinate the chicken overnight.
- Feel free to adjust the amount of salsa and garnishes according to your taste.
- Ensure the chicken is cooked to an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C).
