Ingredients

Scale

For the Chicken

  • 4 chicken thighs, boneless and skinless
  • 2 tablespoons jerk seasoning
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil

For the Mango Slaw

  • 1 mango, diced
  • 2 cups cabbage, shredded
  • 1 red bell pepper, sliced
  • 1/4 cup cilantro, chopped

For the Honey Lime Cream Dressing

  • 1/4 cup mayonnaise
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 1 lime, juiced
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Preheat the grill: Preheat your grill to medium-high heat to ensure even cooking and a nice char on the chicken thighs.
  2. Prepare the chicken: Rub the chicken thighs evenly with the jerk seasoning and olive oil, coating each piece thoroughly for maximum flavor.
  3. Grill the chicken: Place the chicken on the grill and cook for 6-7 minutes on each side or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C) and the chicken is fully cooked.
  4. Make the mango slaw: In a large bowl, combine the diced mango, shredded cabbage, sliced red bell pepper, and chopped cilantro. Toss gently to mix all the fresh ingredients.
  5. Prepare the dressing: In a separate bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, honey, freshly squeezed lime juice, salt, and pepper until smooth and creamy.
  6. Toss the slaw with dressing: Pour the honey lime cream dressing over the mango slaw and toss to coat all ingredients evenly.
  7. Assemble the bowls: Once the chicken is cooked, let it rest briefly, then slice it into strips. Serve the sliced chicken over the dressed mango slaw in bowls.
  8. Final touch: Drizzle extra honey lime cream over the top if desired for added richness and flavor before serving.

Notes

  • You can substitute chicken breasts if preferred, but adjust grilling time accordingly.
  • For a spicier kick, add extra jerk seasoning or include chopped fresh chili in the slaw.
  • Serve with rice or warm tortillas for a more filling meal.
  • The mango slaw can be made ahead and refrigerated for up to 2 hours before serving.
  • Use mayonnaise alternatives like Greek yogurt for a lighter dressing option.
