Grilled Chicken with Mango Avocado Salsa
Description
The recipe begins by seasoning thin, boneless, skinless chicken breasts with olive oil, chili powder, and salt before grilling for 4-5 minutes per side. This technique seals in moisture and develops a subtle smoky flavor on the surface while keeping the interior tender.
While the chicken cooks, the salsa is prepared by combining diced mango, avocado, minced red bell pepper, chopped cilantro, and lime juice, which brightens the dish with its citrus acidity. The creamy avocado and juicy mango provide smooth and fresh-textured contrasts to the savory grilled meat.
This dish works well as a light main course suitable for warm weather meals. The fresh salsa complements the smoky, mildly spiced chicken, making it suitable for dinners or casual get-togethers.
