Description

Grilled Mango Lime Chicken is a bright, juicy summer dish made with a sweet mango-lime marinade, a touch of heat, and smoky grill flavor. Perfect for busy weeknights or backyard cookouts, this easy chicken recipe is packed with fresh tropical flavor the whole family will love.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 1 ripe mango, peeled and diced
  • Zest of 1 lime
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon coconut aminos (or low-sodium soy sauce)
  • 1 teaspoon hot sauce
  • 1 tablespoon maple syrup or honey
  • Pinch of salt
  • Pinch of black pepper

Instructions

  1. Add mango, lime zest, lime juice, olive oil, coconut aminos, hot sauce, maple syrup (or honey), salt, and pepper to a blender. Blend until smooth.
  2. Reserve ¼ cup of the marinade in a glass container and refrigerate. This will be used to brush the chicken after grilling.
  3. Place chicken breasts in a glass bowl and pour remaining marinade over them. Cover and refrigerate for 4–8 hours.
  4. Preheat grill to medium-high heat. Lightly oil the grates.
  5. Remove chicken from marinade and discard used marinade. Grill chicken for about 8–10 minutes per side, depending on thickness, until internal temperature reaches 165°F.
  6. Transfer chicken to a cutting board and let rest for 5 minutes.
  7. Brush the reserved marinade over both sides of the grilled chicken before serving. Serve with fresh mango, lime wedges, or summer vegetables.

Notes

30-Minute Option:
Skip the long marinating time by reserving half of the marinade. Brush the chicken generously before grilling, then again after flipping, and once more after removing from the grill for maximum mango-lime flavor.

  • Do not marinate longer than 8 hours, as mango enzymes can soften the chicken too much.
  • Pound chicken breasts to even thickness for consistent cooking.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
