Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

Ingredients

6 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
1 tablespoon chile powder
Zest and juice of 1 lime
1/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons olive oil
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
One 20-ounce jar sliced mango, drained and finely sliced, some of the liquid reserved
1 bunch kale, thinly shredded
1 bunch scallions, thinly sliced
1 jalapeno, thinly sliced
1 orange or red bell pepper, very thinly sliced
2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro

Steps:

Put the chicken breasts in a resealable plastic bag and add the chile powder, lime zest, 2 tablespoons of the olive oil and some salt and pepper. Seal the bag and shake to coat. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes and up to 4 hours.
Heat a grill pan over medium-high heat. Remove the chicken from the bag and let any excess marinade drip off. Grill the chicken breasts until cooked through, 4 to 5 minutes per side. Keep warm.
Put the mango, kale, scallions, jalapeno and bell pepper in a large bowl. Whisk together the lime juice, chopped cilantro, 2 tablespoons of the reserved mango liquid, the remaining 1/4 cup olive oil and salt and pepper to taste in a small bowl. Pour half of it over the salad and toss to coat. Add more if you like.
Cut the chicken breasts into slices and fan them out. Pile the salad on a plate and arrange the chicken on top. (Or you can leave the breast whole and pile the salad on top of the chicken.)

I put a little spin on a family favorite. While this chicken filling is simmering I fry my corn tortillas until they are nice and crispy!

Tips:

For a bolder, more savory flavor, use dark meat chicken thighs or drumsticks instead of breasts.

If you don't have fresh mango, you can use frozen or canned mango. Just be sure to thaw and drain the frozen mango before using.

If you don't have fresh lime juice, you can use bottled lime juice. Just be sure to use 100% lime juice, not a lime-flavored drink.

Serve the chicken with your favorite sides, such as rice, quinoa, or roasted vegetables.

To make the chicken ahead of time, cook it according to the recipe and then let it cool completely. Store the chicken in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. When ready to serve, reheat the chicken in a preheated oven at 350 degrees Fahrenheit until warmed through.

Mango lime chicken is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight dinner. The chicken is juicy and flavorful, and the mango lime sauce is the perfect finishing touch. This dish is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
