Learn how to make delicious Grilled Mango Pineapple Chicken. Easy recipe with step-by-step instructions.

  • Total Time: 45 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings

Ingredients

This recipe is straightforward and relies on fresh, flavorful ingredients to shine. Here’s what you’ll need:

  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 1 ripe mango, peeled and diced
  • 1 cup fresh pineapple, diced
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • 1 tablespoon lime juice
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • Salt and pepper to taste

If you’re out of fresh mango or pineapple, canned versions work as a substitute, though fresh will provide the best flavor. For a spicier kick, consider adding a pinch of cayenne pepper.

Instructions

Follow these simple steps to bring the flavors of Grilled Mango Pineapple Chicken to your table:

  1. In a blender, combine the mango, pineapple, olive oil, soy sauce, honey, lime juice, garlic, cumin, and smoked paprika. Blend until smooth.
  2. Place the chicken breasts in a large resealable plastic bag. Pour the marinade over the chicken, seal the bag, and massage the marinade into the chicken. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or overnight for more intense flavor.
  3. Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Remove the chicken from the marinade and let it come to room temperature.
  4. Grill the chicken for 6-7 minutes on each side, or until fully cooked and the internal temperature reaches 165°F. Baste occasionally with the remaining marinade for extra flavor.
  5. Let the chicken rest for a few minutes before serving to allow the juices to redistribute, ensuring moist and tender bites.

One thing I learned from my abuela is to trust your senses. Listen for the sizzle as the chicken hits the grill, smell the caramelizing sugars, and watch for those gorgeous grill marks.
