A delightful tropical-inspired chicken recipe with a vibrant mango-papaya salsa.
Combine all marinade ingredients in a mixing bowl and whisk until well blended.
For a smoother marinade, use a blender to combine the ingredients.
Place the chicken breasts in a resealable bag and pour the marinade over them. Seal the bag and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or overnight.
Ensure the chicken is evenly coated by massaging the marinade into the meat.
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Preheating ensures even cooking and better texture.
Remove the chicken from the marinade and place it on a baking sheet. Bake for 20-25 minutes or until fully cooked.
Use a meat thermometer to check that the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
Dice the mango, papaya, and red onion. Mix them in a bowl with chopped cilantro.
For a spicier salsa, add a chopped jalapeño.
Serve the baked chicken with a generous scoop of the mango-papaya salsa on top.
Garnish with lime wedges for an extra burst of flavor.
