More grilled chicken recipes you might enjoy are Grilled Bourbon Chicken, Grilled Chicken Bruschetta, and Chicken Shawarma Kebab Salad.

Let’s face it, grilled chicken can be pretty boring, but not if you serve it with this zesty salsa. You may want to even make this salsa on it’s own, it makes a fantastic dip if you serve it with chips – seriously so good! Sometimes, I even throw in some diced avocado,  yum!

This is perfect to make for a weeknight dinner, it’s quick and light, high in fiber, protein, and gluten-free.

  1. This was such an EASY and fresh summer meal. I made it exactly as listed. I cooked the chicken on the grill. The salsa was absolutely delicious. I purposely hid the last piece of chicken and reserved some salsa for a leftover lunch for myself. 😃 Another Skinnytaste home-run!

  2. Thanks for this awesome recipe! It’s so quick and easy and super delicious. Your recipes are more consistently delicious than any other recipe blog that I have followed. So many of your recipes are regulars now for me. As someone working towards better health I’m so grateful for all your fabulous, healthy recipes!

  3. Any tips for dicing mango? I picked a ripe one according to comments but trying to peel and cut it kind of turned it to mushy stringy chunks.

  4. This is one of my favourite summer recipes (although everything I have made from your website has not yet failed me). I am wondering if there is a way to calculate the salsa on its own, without the chicken (calories). Thank you! 🙂

  5. Absolutely delicious! Made this last night with cilantro lime rice. I had some leftover and took it for lunch, even better the next day ( I usually don't care for leftovers either). Loved all the flavors. This will be the star entrée for a birthday dinner party I am planning next month!

  6. I was very skeptical on the black bean mango salsa, but it was delicious and i am definitely making this again!!!

    I have been using recipes from your website all year Gina but I don't ever comment. I made two recipes this week, this one and the chicken enchilada zucchini boats. They were HUGE hits with my husband and 7 and 5 year old boys. They are tough (I mean really tough) to please. When I can cook healthy and please them? Well, then I feel like I hit the jackpot! Thank you!

  8. Oh, Gina! You've done it again. Made this two nights ago for my family and even my 3.5 year old enjoyed some! We had some leftovers so I have had lunch the past two days as well. This is AMAZING!

    1. I use thawed frozen mango all the time in recipes, and it turns out pretty much exactly the same as fresh. I usually buy mine at Trader Joe's because it's not too expensive.

      I love my Trader Joe's and just happen to have frozen mango in the freezer! I'm making this tomorrow!

    I am not a fan of cilantro. I swear it tastes like comet smells. Any better options than parsley for replacement?

  10. How do you pick a ripe mango? It seems that no matter what I do, I'm ending up with a green one, which doesn't have the sweetness I love about mango!

      It should give a little when you press it. I usually let it sit on my counter until it does.

  11. This looks like a great little meal. Very similar to what I had last night. Grilled jerk chicken with spicy pineapple salsa!
    Thanks for sharing.

  12. Hi there – love the blog! Quick question – when I click "print friendly" at the bottom of the page, I am taken to a different website… am I doing something wrong?
    THANKS!

    I adore mango salsa (just had some last night with shrimp and scallops, actually!), so this looks great! Your photos are gorgeous as well.

    Very great idea for dinner, nice color mix, black from black beans and yellow from mango, very appetizing.
