# Steps to Follow:
01 -
Toss your chicken, lime juice, salsa, oil, and pepper in a giant zip bag. Squeeze all the air out, mash it around to coat everything, and let that chill in the fridge for half an hour, or okay to let it hang out overnight if you've got more time.
02 -
Rub a little oil over your grill grates. Start preheating the grill or grill pan until it's hot and rocking at medium-high.
03 -
Toss the bell pepper strips into your grill basket, drizzle with some oil, add pepper and salt, then shake the basket so every piece gets some love.
04 -
Place your marinated chicken over on one part of the hot grill, and put your trusty grill basket filled with peppers on the other. Go ahead and toss the chicken bag in the trash. Flip that chicken after a few minutes so both sides see the heat, about 4-5 minutes each side works. While that's going, stir those peppers sometimes—they'll likely be ready just a little sooner than your chicken.
05 -
Move the chicken to your main plate. Add some more salsa, load on diced mango and pineapple chunks, and sprinkle cilantro if that's your thing. Dash it to the table while it's still hot.
# Additional Tips:
01 -
It's absolutely best straight off the grill, but put any extras in a container and keep in the fridge up to 5 days, or freeze for about 4 months.
