Instructions

Sprinkle the chili powder and salt evenly over the chicken breasts, patting it in so that it adheres. Heat a grill or grill pan over medium high heat. Brush with oil. Grill the chicken, about 4-5 minutes on each side, until cooked through to an internal temperature of 165°F. Remove from grill.
To make the salsa, mix the mango, avocado, onion, jalapeno, cilantro, and lime juice together in a medium bowl. Season salsa to taste with a pinch of salt and pepper.
Arrange chicken on a serving platter and top with the mango salsa.

Notes

I use chili powder on the chicken but you can substitute other dried spices like paprika, cumin, garlic powder, onion powder or cayenne pepper.

The best way to make sure the chicken is cooked is to check it with an instant-read thermometer. The chicken is done when it reaches an internal temperature of 165°F.

Let the chicken rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing into it to allow the juices to redistribute.

Leftover grilled chicken with mango salsa makes a delicious filling for tacos and quesadillas or topping for a burrito bowl.
