Grilled Chicken with Mango Corn Salsa

Ingredients

  • 6 boneless, skinless chicken thighs
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp onion powder
  • 1 ear sweet corn, shucked
  • 1 large mango, diced
  • 1/2 red bell pepper, diced
  • 1/2 jalapeño, seeded and minced
  • 1 shallot, diced
  • 1 tbsp honey
  • Juice of 1 lime
  • Handful of cilantro, roughly chopped
  • Salt and pepper, to taste

Directions

Heat outdoor grill or grill pan to high.

In a small bowl, combine the mango, bell pepper, jalapeno and shallot. Drizzle with the honey, lime juice, and add a pinch of salt and freshly cracked black pepper. Stir to combine. Set aside.

Season the chicken thighs with garlic powder, onion powder, salt and pepper on both sides.

Oil the grill well so nothing sticks. Grill the chicken thighs and corn until fully cooked, about 8 minutes turning once.

Once the corn has cooled, use a sharp knife to cut the kernels off the cob. Add corn and cilantro to the salsa mixture and stir to combine.

Serve the chicken topped generously with mango salsa and lime wedges if desired. Pair with rice, greens, or grilled tortillas to make delicious grilled tacos.

Serves: 2 | Serving Size: 3 chicken thighs plus ½ of the mango salsa
