Ingredients
  

  • 2 boneless skinless chicken breasts (about 1 pound)
  • 1 cup fresh pineapple diced
  • 1 cup ripe mango 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
  • Fresh cilantro for garnish

Method
 

  1. In a medium bowl, combine the soy sauce, honey, olive oil, minced garlic, ground ginger, black pepper, and red pepper flakes (if using). Whisk until well blended.
  2. Place the chicken breasts in a large 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 your grill to medium-high heat. Remove the chicken from the marinade and discard the marinade.
  4. Grill the chicken for about 6-7 minutes on each side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F and the chicken is cooked through.
  5. While the chicken is grilling, toss the diced pineapple and mango in a bowl. Once the chicken is done, remove it from the grill and let it rest for 5 minutes.
  6. Slice the chicken and serve it topped with the fresh mango and pineapple mixture. Garnish with chopped cilantro.
