Ingredients
-
2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
-
1 cup fresh mango chunks
-
1 cup fresh pineapple chunks
-
2 tablespoons olive oil
-
2 tablespoons soy sauce
-
1 tablespoon honey

Juice of 1 lime

2 garlic cloves, minced

Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions
-
Make the marinade: In a blender, combine mango, pineapple, olive oil, soy sauce, honey, lime juice, and garlic. Blend until smooth.

Marinate the chicken: Place chicken breasts in a zip-top bag or bowl and pour in the marinade. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour (or up to overnight for deeper flavor).

Serve: Let it rest for a few minutes, then garnish with fresh cilantro and a squeeze of lime if you like.
Notes
-
Use canned mango or pineapple if fresh isn’t available—but fresh always tastes better.
-
Want more spice? Add a pinch of chili flakes to the marinade.
-
Great with a side of grilled vegetables or a fresh green salad.
