Ingredients

  • 2 mangoes, diced small
  • 3-4 chicken breasts
  • 1 bell pepper, diced small
  • 3 tablespoons cilantro, chopped
  • 1 lime, juiced
  • 1 jar jerk marinade (your favorite)
  • Oil for cooking
  • Sea salt and fresh ground pepper, to taste

Directions

Combine chicken and jerk marinade in storage container or sealable plastic bag and marinate 4 to 8 hours. In a mixing bowl, combine diced mango, bell pepper, cilantro and lime juice. Store in refrigerator until ready to use.

Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Remove chicken from refrigerator and preheat a large sauté pan to medium-high heat with 1 tablespoon oil. Wipe off excess marinade and place chicken in pan. Sear on both sides, transfer to oven safe dish and finish cooking until an internal meat thermometer reads 165 degrees. Remove from oven, cover and allow to rest for at least 10 minutes. Top with the mango salsa or serve on the side.

Fresh tip: Mangoes are high in vitamin C and fiber, making them a great part of a balanced diet.
