Herb Rubbed Chicken and Tropical Salsa

Pretty sure we did not buy fresh herbs for this one. It can get expensive for some that we don't plan to use again soon. Also, I'm not a fan of thyme so I wasn't about to drop extra dough on fresh thyme that we would use once. 

We liked this recipe. It made us get out of our comfort zone a little. I don't think I've ever cooked with mango and I rarely cook with allspice. It's good to branch out sometimes!
  • 2 tsp chopped fresh oregano
  • 1 tsp chopped fresh thyme
  • 1 tsp coarse kosher salt
  • 1/2 tsp sugar
  • 1/8 tsp ground allspice
  • 1/8 tsp cayenne
  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breast halves (about 1.5 lbs)
  • 1 large mango, peeled, pitted, cut into 1/2 inch chunks
  • 1 small banana, cut into 1/2 inch chunks
  • 1 small red pepper, trimmed, seeded and finely chopped
  • 2 scallions, thinly sliced
  • 1/4 cup fresh lime juice
  • 2 Tbsp honey
In a small bowl, stir together the oregano, thyme, salt, sugar, allspice and cayenne. Rub the mixture into the chicken, cover and refrigerate 30 minutes. 

Meanwhile, in a large bowl, stir together the mango, banana, red pepper, scallions, lime juice and honey. Cover and refrigerate. 

Heat a 9 1/2 inch grill pan over medium heat. Grill the chicken until cooked through, turning the chicken several times as it cooks, about 5 minutes per side. Transfer the chicken to 4 dinner plates, top each serving with a spoonful of the salsa and serve. 

Serves 4

Total Time: 20 minutes (plus marinating)
