¼ cup lime juice
⅛ cup tequila

1 ½ ripe mangoes, diced & divided
½ green pepper, diced
¼ cup sweet onion, diced
¼ cup red onion, diced
2 tomatoes, diced
¼ cup chopped fresh cilantro, chopped fine
1 teaspoon salt
pinch cayenne pepper

Grilled Chicken

4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
2 limes, juiced
2 teaspoons minced garlic
2 Tablespoons olive oil

Instructions

Make the salsa at the same time you start marinating the chicken and they will both be ready at the same time.
To make salsa: In a non-reactive bowl, mix lime juice, tequila, jalapeno peppers and 1 of the mangoes, diced.
Stir in green pepper, onions, tomatoes and cilantro.
Marinate in refrigerator for 1-3 hours.
Just before serving, toss in remaining ½ mango, diced and season with salt and cayenne pepper.
For chicken: Place chicken in a plastic zippered storage bog. Add remaining ingredients and seal. Place in refrigerator and marinate for 1-3 hours.
Remove chicken from marinade. Discard marinade.
Preheat grill. Spray with non-stick cooking spray. Place chicken on hot grill and cook for 15-20 minutes, turning halfway through.
Place chicken on platter and spoon mango salsa over each breast. Serve with additional salsa on the side.
