Ingredients
Chicken
- ½ cup your favorite barbecue sauce (I use this one
- ½ cup honey
- 2 to 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 to 3 tablespoons lemon juice or Apple Cider Vinegar
- 1 to 3 tablespoons Sriracha optional and to taste for a spicier result
- 2 to 4 cloves garlic finely minced or pressed
- 1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper or to taste
- about 1.25 pounds boneless skinless chicken breasts tenders
Salsa
- 2 cups watermelon diced small
- 1 cup Mango diced small (fresh is best but frozen can be substituted)
- 2 to 4 tablespoons fresh mint finely minced or to taste
- 2 to 3 tablespoons fresh lime juice
- 1 or 2 jalapeno peppers finely minced with seeds removed optional and to taste
- 1 to 2 teaspoons honey or to taste
- ½ teaspoon kosher salt plus more to taste if desired
Instructions
For the Chicken:
- To a large ziptop plastic bag, add all ingredients, seal bag, and squish the contents around so chicken is evenly coated.
- Place bag in the fridge to marinate for at least 1 hour (overnight is great if you can plan ahead).
- Preheat an outdoor grill to medium-high heat (or indoor grill pan) and grill the chicken for about 7 minutes, or until done; flip intermittently to ensure even cooking.
- Garnish with the salsa and serve immediately.
For the Salsa:
- To a large bowl, add all ingredients, stir to combine, taste and add additional salt, lime juice, mint, etc. if desired. Cover and chill until ready to serve. *
- Chicken adapted from Honey Barbecue Grilled Chicken
Notes
- *Note that the salt will cause the watermelon and mango to release their juices so I don't recommend making this salsa too far in advance, maybe 4 hours in advance max.
- Chicken is best fresh but will keep airtight in the fridge for up to 5 days.
- Extra salsa will keep airtight in the fridge for up to 5 days, noting it will continue to become more watery and juicy as time passes.
