Colorful Mango Salsa Chicken

Ingredients:

• 4 chicken breasts, pounded thinly and sliced
• 2 6-oz containers vanilla or plain yogurt
• 2 tbs sriracha
• 1 tbs dijon mustard
• 1 mango
• 2 roma tomatoes
• 1/4 red onion
• cilantro to taste
• 1-2 limes (juice and zest)
• 1 avocado
• salt and pepper

Method:

Pound the chicken breasts thinly and slice into small-ish pieces. Place in a large ziploc bag, pour in the yogurt, sriracha, and dijon mustard. Let marinade for 1-2 hours in the refrigerator.

Preheat the bbq. Spray the grill grates with cooking spray. Remove each piece of chicken from the bag, wipe off excess marinade, and place on the grill. Cook for 5-6 minutes on one side, flip and cook another 5-6 minutes until the chicken is cooked through. Do not touch it while it's cooking, let the grill marks form and leave it be! When fully cooked, set aside.

Make the salsa. Dice up one mango, 2 roma tomatoes, 1/4 red onion and cilantro, to taste (use a vegetable chopper it's much easier and prettier). Mix together, squeeze lime juice from 1-2 limes, and zest those limes as well. Add salt and pepper to taste and mix thoroughly.

Pour this marinade over the chicken and then cover with a thinly sliced avocado. Serve and enjoy!

Outdoor grilling is a safe and great way to cook.  Always use your grill according to the manufacture’s instructions and guidelines.  BBQ grills can be dangerous when care is not taken during use and not kept in good condition.

Always grill outdoors, away from buildings, and low hanging branches. NEVER use a grill inside a garage or on a covered patio or porch. 

Always light the grill with the lid open.   When the lid is closed and the gas is on all the gas gets trapped and could cause an explosion when ignited.   

Grill should be positioned on a level surface.

Do not use your BBQ Grill during times of high winds. 

Never leave your grill unattended and keep children and pets at a safe distance.

Have a fire extinguisher or water source readily available.

Turn propane valve to off when not in use.

Cooking tips:

Let your grill heat up to around 500 degrees Fahrenheit before cooking (usually takes about 10 minutes).

Thaw all meat thoroughly in the refrigerator before cooking.

When finished cooking, brush the grates with a grill brush while the grates are still hot and before the food residue hardens.  If you don’t have a grill brush a ball of aluminum foil will also work.  

Red meat:

After you marinate your steak, pat them dry before grilling.  When a steak is wet it “steams” rather then “sears” 

Do not over flip. Steaks do best when left alone.  They should only be flipped once or twice during the grilling process.
