Ingredients
For the Chicken:

1 tsp ground cumin
½ tsp smoked paprika

For the Mango Salsa:

¼ cup red onion, finely chopped
1 small jalapeño, minced (optional)
2 tbsp fresh cilantro, chopped
Juice of 1 lime

Instructions
Marinate the Chicken:
In a bowl, whisk together honey, lime juice, zest, olive oil, garlic, cumin, paprika, salt, and pepper.
Coat the chicken with the marinade and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes (up to 12 hours for best flavor).
Prepare the Mango Salsa:
In a bowl, combine diced mango, red onion, jalapeño, and cilantro.
Add lime juice, season with salt and pepper, and let sit for 10–15 minutes.
Cook the Chicken (choose method):
Grill: Cook over medium-high heat for 5–6 minutes per side.
Pan-sear: Cook in a skillet for 5–7 minutes per side.
Bake: Bake at 400°F (200°C) for 20–25 minutes.
Ensure internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C). Let rest for 5 minutes.
Assemble and Serve:
Slice the chicken and top with mango salsa. Serve immediately.
Notes
Marinating longer enhances flavor and tenderness.
Adjust jalapeño for preferred spice level.
Serve with rice, quinoa, or tortillas for a complete meal.
Use fresh, ripe mango for the best sweetness and texture.
