BBQ Chicken with Mango Jalapeño Salsa: A Must-Try Recipe!

Why not brighten up your grilled or baked chicken with a fresh, zesty salsa? Meet my BBQ Chicken with Mango Jalapeño Salsa, a family favourite that’s bursting with bold, sweet, and spicy flavours. This salsa is the perfect pairing for grilled meats, veggies, or even fish tacos, making it a must-have for any BBQ spread!

This recipe is super light, refreshing, and naturally gluten-free. The best part? It’s incredibly easy to make and uses just a few simple ingredients that you likely already have at home. If you’re missing mango, feel free to get creative—pineapple or even tomatoes work beautifully as substitutes.

Not only does this salsa come together in no time, but the flavours get even better the next day, making it a perfect dish for meal prep or leftovers. I love whipping this up during the summer for a fresh, vibrant side that complements everything coming off the grill!

Ingredients You’ll Need:

• Fresh Mango – Adds a sweet, juicy bite to the salsa. (Or substitute with pineapple or tomatoes.)
• Jalapeños – For a kick of heat that balances out the sweetness.
• Red Onion – Adds a crisp, sharp flavour.
• Fresh Lime Juice – Brings brightness and ties all the flavours together.
• Cilantro – For a fresh, herbaceous note.
• Sea Salt – To enhance the flavours.

This salsa is so versatile, you’ll find yourself making it again and again for any summer BBQ. Give it a try and watch how quickly it becomes a family favourite!

All you need is a few ingredients to get you started. The other good thing about this recipe is that you probably have a lot of the ingredients already on hand. If you have most of them but not the mango, you can get creative and substitute for another fruit. Pineapple works great or even tomatoes.
