    Cilantro Lime Grilled Chicken with Avocado Mango Salsa

    April 12, 2020 Updated: May 12, 2021 by Lisa Wells / 3 Comments

    This cilantro lime grilled chicken with avocado mango salsa is super easy with just a few minutes of prep time. Just toss it on the grill and stir together the salsa and dinner is done. Perfect for busy weeknights!

    I first made this easy weeknight grilled chicken and mango avocado salsa to take advantage of the warm sunny days to cook outside. It's perfect for grilling and eating out on the deck.

    Cilantro lime grilled chicken and salsa

    Lime and cilantro is a classic flavor combination for the chicken marinade. And the same ingredients are used in the salsa to tie it together.

    I love the sweetness of the mangoes with the jalapeno and cilantro in this salsa. Mangoes and avocados are a wonderful combination, and this tropical salsa is a nice change from the usual guacamole.

    Using boneless chicken breasts makes this chicken recipe really quick to put together. Boneless chicken breasts are actually easy to cook on the grill. The key to keeping the chicken juicy is not overcooking it.

    Always use a meat thermometer to make sure you don't overcook the chicken breast! Pull the chicken off the grill just before it's done and let it rest. Carryover cooking will finish the chicken (it's done when the internal temperature reaches 165 degrees).

    Serve this easy grilled chicken with cauliflower rice or toss some romaine on the grill for an easy side salad. Or you can wrap it up in a paleo tortilla. The possibilities are endless!

    This cilantro lime grilled chicken with avocado and mango salsa is paleo, gluten-free, grain-free, dairy-free and Whole30-friendly. It's a perfect taste of summer.

      I love mango salsa, it goes so well with chicken and fish. I just saw ripe mango at my grocery store...I'll have to go pick some up 🙂

      I'm so pleased that you add jalapenos to this recipe! Love all of these and also the fact that you're not afraid to use jalapenos, but also love the mango and avocado on the opposite end of the flavor and heat spectrum as a nice complement, thank you for this!
