Ingredients

  • 1 Tablespoon Olive Oil or Coconut Oil
  • 4 Boneless Skinless Chicken Breasts
  • 2 Teaspoons Agave/Honey
  • 2 Teaspoons Molasses
  • ½ Teaspoon Salt
  • ¼ Teaspoon Onion Powder
  • ½ Teaspoon Garlic Powder
  • ½ Teaspoon Ground Black Pepper
  • ¼ Teaspoon Cayenne Pepper
  • ¼ Teaspoon Crushed Red Pepper Flakes
  • ½ Teaspoon Dried Oregano
  • ½ Teaspoon Dried Thyme
  • 1 Teaspoon Smoked Paprika
  • ¼ Cup Lime Juice
  • ½ Cup Diced Mango
  • ½ Cup Diced Pineapple
  • 1 Jalapeno seeded and diced
  • 1 Tablespoon Finely Diced Onion

Instructions

  1. Combine all the dry seasoning in a small bowl and mix to evenly combine. Sprinkle half of the seasoning mix over one side of each chicken breast. Flip them over and season the other side with the remaining seasoning mix.
  2. Add oil to a large, heavy-bottomed skillet and heat for one minute over medium heat.
  3. Drizzle each side of each seasoned chicken breast with a little bit of the agave and molasses. Add the chicken breasts to the hot pan. Cook each side of the chicken breast for 7 minutes. Once the chicken is cooked, remove from pan and set on a plate off to the side.
  4. Reduce heat to low. Add jalapeno, mango, pineapple, and onion to the pan. Stir around to pick up the seasonings and brown bits from the bottom of the pan. Add the lime juice and stir to coat the fruit with the seasonings in the pan. Cook the fruit and jalapeno and onion for 5-7 minutes until slightly tender.
  5. Remove pan from heat and pour the pan sauce along with the salsa over the chicken. Serve right away.
