"The tropical grilled chicken combines tender chicken breasts marinated in orange juice, lemon, honey, and ginger with a vibrant mango and avocado salad. A protein-rich and refreshing option for hot summer days, combining the unctuousness of beneficial fats with the citrusy acidity of homemade sauces."
- The marinade with orange and lemon juice breaks down the surface fibers of the chicken breast, maintaining moisture during grilling. - Letting the grilled meat rest on the cutting board for 5 minutes before slicing keeps the internal juices locked in and prevents the steak from drying out. - The contrast between the sweet cubes of ripe mango and the velvety texture of the avocado provides richness without the need for mayonnaise.
Prepare the Chicken Marinade: In a large bowl, combine 1 tablespoon of olive oil, orange juice, lemon juice, honey, grated ginger, minced garlic, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix well until the seasonings are completely incorporated.
Marinate the Chicken: Add the chicken breasts to the bowl with the marinade, ensuring they are well covered. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or ideally for 1 to 2 hours, so they absorb maximum flavor.
Prepare the Tropical Salad: While the chicken marinates, in a large salad bowl, combine the chopped lettuce, cubed mango, cubed avocado, sliced red onion, and cherry tomatoes. Refrigerate.
Prepare the Salad Dressing: In a small container, mix the remaining tablespoon of olive oil, a little extra lemon juice (if desired), and chopped fresh cilantro. Ajuste o sal e a pimenta-do-reino a gosto. Add the chopped chili pepper, if using.
Grill the Chicken: Preheat the grill over medium-high heat. Remove the chicken from the marinade (discard the excess) and place it on the grill. Grill for 5-7 minutes per side, or until cooked through and nicely grill-marked. The internal temperature should reach 74°C.
Rest and Slice the Chicken: Remove the chicken from the grill and let it rest on a board for 5 minutes before slicing. This ensures that the juices redistribute, resulting in a juicier and tastier meat. Slice the chicken into strips or cubes, as you prefer.
Assemble and Serve: Add the salad dressing to the reserved vegetables in the salad bowl and mix gently. Distribute the salad on individual plates and place the sliced grilled chicken on top. Serve immediately and enjoy this explosion of flavors.

- Add half a cup of toasted cashews or chopped walnuts to the salad to introduce crunch in every bite. - Add thin strips of seedless red chili pepper to contrast the sweetness of the mango with a pleasant tropical spiciness. - Quickly grill the mango slices on a griddle before chopping to caramelize the fruit's natural sugars.
- Chicken breast can be substituted with boneless, skinless chicken thighs, grilled tilapia fillets, or medium sautéed shrimp. - The honey in the marinade can be replaced by pure maple syrup or agave nectar, keeping the same measure. - Chopped fresh cilantro can be replaced by chopped fresh mint or flat-leaf parsley for those who prefer to avoid cilantro.
Store the sliced chicken fillets and the leaf and fruit salad in separate closed containers in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Season the leaves with the olive oil and lemon dressing only at the moment of serving so the lettuce doesn't wilt.
Freeze only the raw marinated chicken fillets in proper bags for up to 3 months; thaw in the refrigerator and grill at the time. The salad with avocado, mango, and lettuce does not tolerate freezing due to the irreparable loss of the structure of the raw vegetables.
Pairs with toasted pita bread slices, brown rice with sunflower seeds, or crispy cassava chips. To drink, pair with water flavored with cucumber and lemon slices, iced green tea with mint, or natural pineapple juice.
O tempo ideal é de 30 a 60 minutos sob refrigeração; períodos acima de 4 horas podem amaciar demais a carne pelo ácido cítrico.
Grill over medium-high heat for 5 to 7 minutes on each side and let rest for 5 minutes on the board before slicing.
Lettuces with crunchy stalks like romaine or iceberg better support the weight of the fruits and the moisture of the citrus dressing.
