Scale
- 2 boneless chicken breasts or thighs
- 2 ripe mangoes, sliced
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- Juice of 1 lime
- 1 teaspoon cumin
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper

Instructions
- Prepare the marinade by combining olive oil, lime juice, cumin, paprika, and cayenne pepper in a bowl; whisk until blended.
- Place the chicken in a resealable bag or dish, pour the marinade over it, and let it sit for at least 30 minutes or overnight for more flavor.
- Preheat the grill to medium-high and brush the grates lightly with oil.

Notes
For a spicy kick, substitute cayenne pepper with chili powder or red pepper flakes. Marinate chicken for no more than 2 hours to avoid mushiness.
