chicken thighs

🥗Healthier: chicken breast

Marinate chicken thighs in soy sauce, fish sauce, brown sugar, lime juice, minced garlic, and grated ginger for at least 30 minutes.

Preheat grill to medium-high heat.

Remove chicken from marinade and discard the marinade.

Grill chicken thighs for 6-7 minutes per side until cooked through and internal temperature reaches 165°F.

While chicken is grilling, prepare mango salsa by dicing mango, red onion, and jalapeño.

Combine diced mango, red onion, jalapeño, chopped cilantro, lime juice, salt, and pepper in a bowl.

Mix salsa ingredients until well combined and set aside.

Once chicken is done, remove from grill and let rest for 5 minutes.

Slice grilled chicken and serve topped with mango salsa.
