This recipe combines juicy grilled chicken with a vibrant tropical salsa for a delightful meal.
Place the chicken breasts in a ziplock bag.
Using a ziplock bag ensures even coating of the marinade and easy cleanup.
Add the garlic, thyme, olive oil, black pepper, and salt to the bag. Seal and shake to coat the chicken evenly.
Let the chicken marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes for enhanced flavor.
Preheat the grill to medium-high heat and lightly oil the grates.
Oiling the grates prevents the chicken from sticking.
Grill the chicken for 5 minutes on each side, then reduce the heat to medium and cook for an additional 5 minutes, or until fully cooked.
Use a meat thermometer to ensure the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F.
In a mixing bowl, combine the pineapple, mango, lime juice, ginger, and cilantro.
Chill the salsa for 10 minutes before serving to meld the flavors.
Serve the grilled chicken topped with the tropical salsa.
Garnish with additional cilantro for a fresh touch.
