Mango Lime Grilled Chicken
Since the balsamic soy grilled chicken was such a great success (https://www.nazari.ca/fantastic-balsamic-soy-grilled-chicken/), I am continuing on that high with this amazing mango lime grilled chicken recipe I put together. This #ketofriendly grilled chicken is infused with the fabulous flavor of the Atafulo mango – the slightly smaller, more yellow-colored ones. My kids can go through an entire box of these in a sittingAtafulo mangos are primarily from the Philippines but are mainly grown in Mexico. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ataulfo_(mango). Their skin turns yellow as they ripen.It's fascinating how much you can do with chicken and how well it absorbs flavors. It’s also a good idea to have a bunch of chicken breast recipes to change it up – especially if you’re trying o cut down on red meat and need variety in life.
