Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons jerk seasoning
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts sliced or pounded thin
- 1 avocado diced
- 1 red bell pepper seeded and diced
- 1 small jalapeño pepper seeded and diced
- 2 cups chopped mango
- 1/3 cup chopped red onion
- 1-2 tablespoons chopped cilantro
- 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
- Juice of 1/2 lime
Instructions
- In a small bowl, stir the jerk seasoning and olive oil together into a thin paste. Rub evenly over both sides of the chicken breasts.
- Grill or saute chicken for 4-6 minutes on each side, or just until it hits 165 degrees F and is no longer pink in the middle. Remove and set aside to rest briefly.
- While chicken cooks and rests, prep the salsa. Combine avocado, red pepper, jalapeno, mango, red onion, cilantro, salt, and lime juice in a medium bowl. Toss gently to mix.
- Serve individual chicken breasts with generous spoonfuls of salsa. Garnish with extra cilantro and lime wedges, if desired.
