Step 1 Add the lime juice, orange jucie, olive oil, garlic, green onions, salt, cumin, oregano, and black pepper to a blender. Blend until smooth. If you want to have extra sauce to drizzle on the bowls, double the recipe.

Step 2 Prepare the chicken by making sure it is all about the same thickness. Usually, I will cut the breast horizontally into two thinner breast pieces. This ensures they cook uniformly and also helps the marinade penetrate the chicken fully. Add the chicken to the marinade and marinate for at least 30-60 minutes.

Step 3 When ready to grill, remove the chicken from the marinade. Let excess drip off. Grill for about 5 minutes per side or until cooked through. Let rest for at least 5 minutes before serving.

Step 4 Toss together the mango, cucumber, red bell pepper, cilantro, lime juice, salt, and pepper. Assemble the bowls with cooked rice, grilled chicken, and mango salsa. Drizzle with extra sauce.
