Ingredients
  

For the Grilled Chicken:

4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts

2 tablespoons olive oil

2 tablespoons fresh lime juice

2 teaspoons ground cumin

1 teaspoon smoked paprika

2 cloves garlic, minced

Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste

For the Fresh Mango Chutney:

2 ripe mangoes, peeled and diced into small cubes

1 small red onion, finely chopped

1 red bell pepper, diced

1 jalapeño pepper, seeded and minced (adjust according to spice preference)

1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped

Juice of 1 lime

2 tablespoons honey (or agave syrup for a vegan option)

Salt to taste

Instructions
 

Prepare the Marinade: In a medium mixing bowl, combine the olive oil, fresh lime juice, ground cumin, smoked paprika, minced garlic, and a generous pinch of salt and pepper. Whisk together until fully combined.

    Marinate the Chicken: Place the chicken breasts in a large resealable plastic bag or shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the chicken, making sure each breast is evenly coated. Seal the bag or cover the dish, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, allowing the chicken to absorb the flavors. For best results, marinate for up to 4 hours.

      Make the Mango Chutney: In a separate mixing bowl, combine the diced mangoes, chopped red onion, diced red bell pepper, minced jalapeño, chopped cilantro, lime juice, honey, and a sprinkle of salt. Mix well, ensuring all ingredients are evenly distributed. Let the chutney sit for a minimum of 15 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.

        Preheat the Grill: Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Lightly oil the grill grates with a paper towel dipped in oil to prevent sticking.

          Grill the Chicken: Remove the chicken from the marinade and discard the leftover marinade. Place the chicken on the preheated grill. Grill for approximately 6-7 minutes on each side, or until the chicken is fully cooked and has nice grill marks (the internal temperature should be 165°F or 74°C).

            Serve: Once cooked, remove the chicken from the grill and let it rest for about 5 minutes to retain its juices. Serve the grilled chicken hot, generously topped with a vibrant scoop of fresh mango chutney. For a complete meal, pair it with a side of fluffy steamed rice or a refreshing garden salad.

              Enjoy: Savor this tropical delight that brings bright and bold flavors to your table, perfect for a summer BBQ or a delightful dinner at home!
