Southwestern Grilled Chicken with Mango Salsa

This is another Kraft Foods recipe but it has become a family favorite. It tastes just as good as something you could get in a restaurant.

1 env. Good Seasons Italian Salad Dressing & Recipe Mix
1/2 cup oil
1/4 cup lime juice
1/4 cup chopped cilantro (we use more but we love cilantro)
1 tsp. chili powder
4-6 boneless skinless chicken breast halves
2 mangoes, peeled, chopped (about 2 cups)
1/2 cup chopped red pepper
1/2 cup chopped green onions

Mix salad dressing mix, oil, lime juice, cilantro and chili powder until well blended. Pour 1/2 cup of the dressing mixture over chicken in resealable plastic bag; seal bag. Refrigerate 1 hour to marinate. Mix remaining dressing mixture, mangoes, red peppers and onions in medium bowl; cover. Refrigerate until ready to use.

Preheat grill to medium-high heat. Remove chicken from marinade; discard marinade. Grill chicken 6 to 8 minutes on each side or until cooked through.

Serve with mango salsa. It's yummy served with some chips and a salad although we haven't found just the right salad to go along with it yet. If you want, you could just half the marinade and serve only as a salsa dip, without the chicken. To see a picture click here.

Had this tonight for dinner and it was so yummy! The mango salsa was a great hit. I served the chicken with some rice and a simple salad and it was perfect. Thanks!
