Ingredients
Scale
For the chicken:
- 1 1/2lbs chicken breasts, pounded to 3/4″ thickness
- 1/4c sugar
- scant Tbsp salt
- 1/2 tsp chili powder
- 1 1/2 tsp paprika
- 1/8tsp garlic powder
- 1/8tsp onion powder
- 1/8tsp dry mustard
For the salsa:
- 5 Roma tomatoes, diced
- 2 mangoes, diced
- 1 avocado, diced
- juice of 2 limes
- 1/4c cilantro
- 4 scallions, diced
- 1 tsp vinegar
- pinch salt and pepper
- 1 jalapeno, diced (with seeds and ribs removed)
Instructions
For chicken:
- In a bowl, combine sugar, salt, and all spices. Rub mixture onto both sides of chicken breasts. Allow to rest 30 minutes to absorb flavors. Grill or pan-fry till done. (Yesterday, I pan-fried them for about 10 minutes on medium heat). Chicken will develop a crust from the rub. Don’t panic. It’s delicious. Let chicken rest 1-2 minutes to allow juices to redistribute, then serve warm with salsa.
For salsa:
- Combine all ingredients and toss to combine. Chill until ready to serve.
