Ingredients

Scale

Chicken

  • 2 Chicken Breasts

Marinade

  • 1 tablespoon Fresh Ginger, grated
  • Juice of 2 Fresh Lemons
  • 2 tablespoons Olive Oil
  • Salt and Pepper, to taste

Pineapple Mango Salsa

  • 1 cup Pineapple, chopped
  • 1 cup Mango, chopped
  • 1/2 Red Onion, finely chopped
  • 1/4 cup Cilantro, chopped
  • Juice of 1 Lemon

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Marinade: Start by mixing fresh ginger, lemon juice, olive oil, salt, and pepper in a bowl. This marinade infuses the chicken with bright and zesty flavors.
  2. Marinate the Chicken: Add the chicken breasts to the marinade, ensuring they are well-coated. Allow them to marinate for at least 30 minutes, or up to a few hours in the refrigerator for maximum flavor.
  3. Make the Pineapple Mango Salsa: While the chicken is marinating, chop the pineapple, mango, red onion, and cilantro. Combine them in a bowl, and add a squeeze of lemon juice for extra brightness.
  4. Cook the Chicken: Heat a skillet over medium-high heat and add olive oil. Once hot, cook the marinated chicken for about 6-7 minutes on each side, or until cooked through and golden brown.
  5. Serve with Salsa: Once the chicken is cooked, let it rest for a few minutes before slicing it. Serve it topped with the fresh pineapple mango salsa for a burst of flavor.

Notes

  • Use Fresh Ingredients: Fresh fruits and herbs will significantly enhance the flavor of your dish.
  • Don’t Overcook the Chicken: To keep the chicken juicy, ensure it reaches an internal temperature of 165°F without overcooking.
  • Let the Salsa Sit: Allow the salsa to marinate for a bit to let the flavors meld together.
  • Adjust Sweetness: If your pineapple is not sweet enough, add a touch of honey to the salsa.
  • Garnish for Flair: A sprinkle of toasted sesame seeds on top adds a delightful crunch.
