Ingredients

• 4 pieces Chicken breasts
• 1 large Fresh mango
• 3 tablespoons Lime juice
• 2 tablespoons Soy sauce
• 2 tablespoons Honey
• 0.5 cup Coconut milk
• 2 pieces Garlic cloves, minced
• 1 teaspoon Fresh ginger, grated
• 1 tablespoon Olive oil
• 0.5 teaspoon Red chili flakes (optional)
• 0.5 cup Red onion, finely diced
• 2 tablespoons Fresh cilantro, chopped
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper

Directions

Step 1

In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together lime juice, soy sauce, honey, coconut milk, minced garlic, grated ginger, olive oil, red chili flakes (optional), salt, and black pepper to create a marinade.

Step 2

Place the chicken breasts in a shallow dish or a resealable plastic bag. Pour the marinade over the chicken, ensuring it is fully coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour or up to 8 hours for maximum flavor.

Step 3

While the chicken marinates, prepare the mango salsa. Peel and dice the mango into small cubes. In another bowl, combine the mango, red onion, cilantro, and a squeeze of lime juice. Stir well and refrigerate until ready to serve.

Step 4

Preheat a grill or stovetop grill pan over medium-high heat. Lightly grease the grill grates with olive oil to prevent sticking.

Step 5

Remove the chicken from the marinade, letting any excess drip off. Grill the chicken for about 5-7 minutes per side, or until it reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) and is beautifully charred.

Step 6

Transfer the grilled chicken to a serving platter and let it rest for 5 minutes. This helps to retain the juices.

Step 7

Serve the Island Chicken warm, topped with the freshly prepared mango salsa. Garnish with additional cilantro if desired and serve with your choice of side, such as steamed rice or a green salad.
