Ingredients

1 tablespoon olive oil
4 cloves peeled fresh garlic (grated)
1 medium orange (zested (or about 2 teaspoons to 1 tablespoon))
1/2 cup freshly squeezed orange juice ((about 2 to 3 oranges))
1 lime (zested (about a teaspoon))
1/4 cup lime juice (about 2 limes)
juice of 1/2 a lemon (about 2 tablespoons)
1 teaspoon ground cumin
3/4 teaspoon dried oregano
3/4 teaspoon paprika
1½ pounds boneless skinless chicken breasts (about 4, butterflied or pounded flat)
2 ripe mangos (diced)
1/4 cup red onion (finely diced )
1 cherry hot pepper (seeded and diced small (jalapeno, fresno or your favorite spicy or mild chile may be substituted))
2 tablespoons cilantro leaves (minced)
kosher salt (to taste)

Steps:

Measure and add the olive oil, garlic, citrus zest and juice and spices in a bowl, whisking well to combine. Add in the chicken and toss to coat. Marinate for not longer than 25 to 30 minutes.
Meanwhile preheat your grill to 400and prepare the salsa.
Grill the chicken until no longer pink. Depending on if you're using a grill pan or an outdoor grill will depend on how long. I would preheat your outdoor gill to 400 to 450° and if you're using a grill pan, preheat to medium to medium-high. Allow the chicken to rest for about 5 minutes before serving.
In a medium bowl combine the mango, onion, hot pepper and cilantro. Season with a few small pinches of kosher salt before tossing to combine.
Top chicken with salsa and enjoy!

Tips:

For the best flavor, use ripe mangoes. If your mangoes are not ripe, you can ripen them by placing them in a paper bag with a banana or apple for a few days.
If you don't have a grill, you can cook the chicken in a grill pan over medium heat.
To make the chicken more flavorful, marinate it for at least 2 hours or overnight. This will help the flavors to penetrate the chicken.
If you don't have any lime leaves, you can substitute them with 1/2 teaspoon of lime zest.
Serve the chicken with your favorite sides, such as rice, roasted vegetables, or a salad.

Conclusion:

This grilled chicken with mango salsa is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a summer cookout.

It is a refreshing and flavorful condiment that pairs perfectly with the grilled chicken. This dish is sure to be a hit at your next party or gathering.
