– 1 tsp smoked paprika
– 2 ripe mangoes, peeled and diced into 1/4-inch cubes
– 1/2 cup finely diced red onion
– 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
– 1 jalapeño pepper, seeds removed and finely minced
– Juice of 2 fresh limes
– 1 tbsp honey
Instructions
1. Pat the chicken breasts completely dry with paper towels.
2. Drizzle 1 tablespoon of extra virgin olive oil over the chicken.
3. Rub the kosher salt, freshly cracked black pepper, and smoked paprika evenly onto all sides of the chicken.
4. Heat a cast-iron skillet or heavy-bottomed pan over medium-high heat for 2 minutes.
5. Add the remaining 1 tablespoon of extra virgin olive oil to the hot pan.
6. Place the seasoned chicken breasts in the pan, leaving space between each piece.
7. Cook the chicken without moving it for 6 minutes to develop a deep golden-brown crust.
8. Flip each chicken breast using tongs.
9. Cook the second side for another 5-6 minutes, until the internal temperature reaches 165°F on an instant-read thermometer.
10. Transfer the cooked chicken to a clean cutting board and let it rest for 5 minutes.
11. While the chicken rests, combine the diced mangoes, finely diced red onion, chopped fresh cilantro, and minced jalapeño in a medium bowl.
12. Squeeze the juice of 2 fresh limes directly over the mango mixture.
13. Drizzle 1 tablespoon of honey into the bowl.
14. Gently toss all salsa ingredients until evenly combined.
15. Slice the rested chicken breasts against the grain into 1/2-inch thick strips.
Arrange the sliced chicken on a platter and spoon the vibrant mango salsa generously over the top. The chicken stays remarkably juicy with a smoky, caramelized crust, while the salsa adds a bright pop of sweetness, acidity, and mild heat. For a complete meal, serve it over a bed of cilantro-lime rice or tucked into warm tortillas with a dollop of cool sour cream.
