Spicy Grilled Chicken with Mango Salsa:

A quick marinade makes for juicy and flavorful chicken that is topped with a colorful and delicious salsa.

Yield: 4 servings
Prep time:15 minutes
Grill time: 12 to 16 minutes

Ingredients:
4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (1 lb)
1/4 cup Mazola® Corn Oil
3 tablespoons fresh lemon or lime juice
1 1/2 teaspoons crushed red pepper
1 1/2 teaspoons garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
1/2 teaspoon Italian seasoning
1/4 teaspoon paprika

Mango Pepper Salsa

2 cups diced fresh mango, 1/4-inch dice
1 cup diced red bell pepper, 1/4-inch dice
3 tablespoons minced red onion
1 tablespoon minced jalapeno pepper
1 tablespoon fresh lemon OR lime juice
2 tablespoons minced, fresh cilantro
Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions:

Trim excess fat from chicken. If necessary, pound chicken to an even 1/2-inch thickness using a mallet, rolling pin or cast iron skillet (this will ensure the chicken cooks evenly).  Place oil, lemon juice and spices in a large resealable plastic bag.  Add chicken.  Seal bag and turn to thoroughly coat chicken.  Refrigerate until ready to grill chicken.

Grill chicken over direct high heat for 6 to 8 minutes.  Turn chicken and continue to cook for 6 to 8 minutes until cooked through.  Transfer cooked chicken to a serving plate.

Combine salsa ingredients in a bowl; stir and season to taste with salt and pepper. (Can be made up to 8 hours ahead and refrigerated until ready to serve.)

Top grilled chicken with mango salsa and serve immediately.

Recipe Tip: Try slicing the chicken onto warm, low-fat tortillas, top with mango salsa and crumbled queso fresco cheese for delicious spicy chicken wraps.
