The Grilled Island Chicken breasts are bathed for several hours in a coconut milk marinade before grilling, and then topped with Tropical Salsa, turning chicken into a dish that family and guests will ask for repeatedly.

Ingredients

  • 6 boneless, skinless chicken breasts

Instructions

Set the EGG for direct cooking at 350°F/177°C.

To make the marinade, using a whisk, mix the coconut milk, cilantro, cinnamon, lime juice and jalapeno in a small bow. Place the chicken breasts in a large shallow dish and pour the marinade over the chicken to cover. Cover the dish with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 2 hours.

To make the salsa, toss the onion, tomato, mango, green bell pepper, yellow bell pepper, jalapeno, salt, chili powder, lime juice and honey in a medium bowl. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate until ready to use.

Remove the chicken breasts from the marinade and discard the marinade. Place the chicken on the Grid and close the lid of the EGG. Grill for 10 to 12 minutes per side, until the thermometer reads 160°F/71°C.

Place the chicken breasts on plates and top with the salsa. Garnish each plate with lime wedges and a sprig of cilantro.
