Ingredients
  

  • 2 large chicken breasts about 1 pound
  • 1 ripe mango peeled and diced
  • 1 cup fresh pineapple diced
  • 1/4 cup soy sauce
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 teaspoon ground ginger
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes optional
  • Juice of 1 lime
  • Fresh cilantro for garnish

Method
 

  1. In a medium bowl, combine the diced mango, pineapple, soy sauce, honey, olive oil, minced garlic, ground ginger, black pepper, red pepper flakes (if using), and lime juice. Mix well to create a marinade.
  2. Place the chicken breasts in a resealable plastic bag or shallow dish and pour the marinade over the chicken. Seal the bag or cover the dish and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or up to 4 hours for more flavor.
  3. Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. Remove the chicken from the marinade and discard the marinade.
  4. Grill the chicken for 6-7 minutes on each side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F and the chicken is cooked through.
  5. Remove the chicken from the grill and let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing.
  6. Serve the grilled chicken topped with the remaining diced mango and pineapple, and garnish with fresh cilantro.
