Mango Salsa
- On a large cutting board, dice your vegetables including the red onion, red pepper, and jalapeno peppers.

Grilled Chicken
- Heat your grill or grill pan to medium-high heat.
- Once the grill is hot, spray with cooking spray like avocado oil and place the chicken thighs on the grill grates.
- Allow the chicken to sear and cook prior to flipping. You will know when the chicken is ready to be flipped as it will pull away easily from the grill, generally about 6 - 7 minutes per side.
- Using a meat thermometer, ensure you cook your chicken to an internal temperature of 165 degrees.
- Once the chicken is cooked through, remove from the grill and allow to rest so the juices redistribute.
