Instructions

Mango Lime Grilled Chicken is a delicious tropical-inspired recipe that’s perfect for summer grilling. Start by blending ripe mango, fresh lime juice, fish sauce, olive oil, brown sugar, Sriracha, garlic, and salt until smooth.

Pour the marinade into a large zip-top bag, add the chicken, and coat each piece thoroughly. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or overnight for the best flavor.

Preheat your grill to medium heat. Remove the chicken from the marinade, reserving the remaining marinade for later.

Grill the chicken for about 10 minutes per side, brushing with extra marinade after turning. Cook until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).

Meanwhile, transfer the reserved marinade to a saucepan, add a little water, and boil for at least 5 minutes to create a flavorful sauce.

Grill the lime halves until lightly charred. Serve the juicy chicken with fresh cilantro, warm mango sauce, and grilled lime for a fresh, smoky, and flavorful meal.

Notes

30 minute meal: Reserve half of the marinade and set aside. Drench the chicken in the other half of the chicken right before grilling. Once you flip the chicken on the grill, brush the grilled side with the marinade. When you take the chicken off the grill, brush on more marinade once again making sure to coat the whole breast. This will ensure lots of mango and lime flavor but will eliminate the marinating step.
