Grilled Mango Lime Chicken is a great mid-week dinner when the temperatures are too hot to cook indoors. The marinade comes together in just a few minutes in the blender and can be marinated anywhere from one hour to up to 8 hours.

Ingredients

4 chicken breasts
1 ripe mango
Zest of 1 lime
1 tbsp lime juice
2 tbsp olive oil
1 tbsp coconut aminos
1 tsp hot sauce
1 tbsp maple syrup or honey
Pinch of salt
Pinch of black pepper

Instructions

Combine all the marinade ingredients into a blender and blend on medium speed until smooth. Reserve ¼ cup of the marinade in a glass container and place in the fridge. This will be used to brush the chicken after it is grilled.
Place the chicken in a glass bowl and cover with the marinade. Cover the bowl and place in the fridge for a minimum of 4 hours and a maximum of 8 hours
Right before the chicken is done marinating, get the grill preheated. Remove the chicken from the marinade and place on the grill. I find each side takes about 10 minutes but this will depend on the size of the chicken breasts. Flip and cook on the other side. Make sure the chicken reaches a temperature of 165 degrees.
Set the chicken on a cutting board or serving platter and allow to rest for about five minutes. Right before serving, take the reserved ¼ of the marinade out of the fridge and brush the chicken breasts making sure to get both sides. Serve with your favorite summer veggies. Enjoy!

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.
