All my kids love chicken so we have no issues there and when I served this mango salad with this grilled chicken they were all blown away. They like it best when I serve them in a bowl with rice and sliced avocados.
This recipe will also work well for those who are preparing meals. It is truly easy to put together and o flavorful.
Ingredients needed
Below is a list of ingredients you will need to make this recipe. Full measurements are listed further down in the recipe card.
- 4 thin boneless skinless chicken breasts
- Olive oil: or avocado oil
- Chili powder
- Salt to taste
- Mango: Fresh works best
- Ripe avocado
- Lime
- Red bell pepper
- Cilantro
How to make it
Heat a grill over medium-high heat.
- Prepare the chicken: Drizzle the olive oil over the chicken breasts and sprinkle with the chili powder and salt to taste.
- Cook the chicken: Grill for 4-5 minutes on each side or until cooked through.
- Make the salsa: While the chicken is cooking, combine the mango, avocado, red bell pepper, and cilantro in a bowl. Stir in the lime juice and salt to taste.
- Serve: Spoon the salsa over the chicken and serve.
Tips from my kitchen
- Make sure the avocado and mango are both rice for the bets flavor.
- Use fresh cilantro if possible. Frozen won’t taste the same.
- Swap the chicken breast with boneless and skinless chicken thighs.
- Do not overcook the chicken or else they will get dry and rubbery. The best way to check if the chicken is done is to use a food thermometer and check when the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165F.

I love avocados , the chicken with avocado salsa is delicious but in stead of mango I put cherry tomatoes.
I eat a lot of mango at breakfast or any time, my problem is I prefer fruits with fruits and veg. with veg .
I like your recipes a lot .

Just looking at the ingredients , 2 teaspoon of chili powder , is the chicken meant to be that spicy?
I used mild chili. Feel free to adjust to 1/2 – 1 tsp

This is really good! First time having mango at home. This recipe was very simple for a first timer like myself.
My spouse and I are eating healthier these days. Last time, we got into a food rut and returned to our bad habits. But I think with recipes like this, we’ll be safe.
Hi Amber, so glad you guys loved this. And yes it is so tasty!
What pan are you using to grill?
The calories can’t be right on this! 1606! Does it mean 160?
You are right! I fixed it. So sorry about it
