Blackened Chicken with Mango Salsa

Blackened Chicken
4 chicken breasts
2 tbsp chili powder
1 tbsp cumin
1 tsp garlic powder
1/4 olive oil

Mango Salsa
2 ripe mangoes
1 long English cucumber
3 green onions
3 tbsp cilantro, chopped
Juice of 2 limes
2 tbsp olive oil
Salt to taste

Combine the chili powder, cumin and garlic powder. Add the olive oil, almost making a paste. Add the chicken breasts and coat with the spice mix. Place in the refrigerator and let marinate for 4 to 6 hours. 

For the salsa, chop the mangoes, cucumber, green onion and cilantro into fine pieces. Add the lime juice and olive oil. Add salt to taste. Place in refrigerator and let sit for a minimum of 30 minutes to allow the flavors to incorporate together. 

Turn the BBQ to medium high heat and cook the chicken breasts for 15 - 18 minutes, may need to be longer if thicker. Cook until no longer pink in the middle. 

Top with mango salsa and enjoy!
