– 2 tablespoons honey

Instructions
Creating mouth-watering Grilled Mango Soy Chicken is simple when you follow these steps:
1. Prepare Marinade: In a medium bowl, whisk together the pureed mango, soy sauce, honey, vegetable oil, grated ginger, minced garlic, black pepper, and salt until combined.
2. Marinate Chicken: Place the chicken breasts in a resealable plastic bag or a shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the chicken, ensuring all pieces are coated. Seal the bag or cover the dish, then refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to 2 hours for optimal flavor.
3. Preheat the Grill: Heat your grill to medium-high, ensuring it’s hot enough to sear the chicken effectively.
4. Remove Chicken from Marinade: Take the chicken out of the marinade, allowing excess marinade to drip off. Discard the leftover marinade for safety.
5. Grill Chicken: Place the chicken on the hot grill and cook for 6 to 7 minutes on each side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C) and the chicken is no longer pink inside.
6. Add Mango Slices: If desired, grill mango slices for the last few minutes until they have nice grill marks and caramelize slightly.
7. Rest the Chicken: Remove the chicken from the grill and let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing. This allows the juices to redistribute, ensuring maximum tenderness and flavor.
8. Garnish: Serve the sliced chicken garnished with fresh cilantro and grilled mango, accompanied by lime wedges for an extra zing.
By following these steps, you’ll create a flavorful meal that’s both satisfying and impressively easy to prepare.
