Step-by-Step Instructions for Grilled Mango Pineapple Chicken

In a medium bowl, whisk together olive oil, soy sauce, honey, lime juice, minced garlic, and grated ginger until well combined. Set aside.
Season boneless chicken breasts with salt and pepper. Place in a zip-top bag and pour the marinade over. Seal and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, up to 2 hours.
Preheat the grill to medium-high heat (375°F to 400°F). Clean and lightly oil the grates. Peel and slice the mango and pineapple into thick rounds.
Grill the chicken for 6-7 minutes per side, cooking until the internal temperature reaches 165°F and charred.
While chicken is grilling, grill the mango and pineapple slices for 3-4 minutes on each side until caramelized.
Remove chicken and fruit from the grill. Let chicken rest for 5 minutes before slicing. Serve together, garnished with cilantro and lime wedges.
