### 👩🍳 How to Make It
**1. Marinate the Chicken:**
In a bowl or zip-top bag, mix lemon juice, zest, ginger, garlic, olive oil, salt, and pepper. Add chicken and let marinate for at least 20 minutes (up to 2 hours for more flavor).
**2. Make the Salsa:**
Combine pineapple, mango, red onion, jalapeño (if using), lime juice, cilantro, and salt in a bowl. Toss gently and chill while the chicken cooks.
**3. Cook the Chicken:**
Grill or pan-sear the marinated chicken over medium heat for 6–7 minutes per side, or until fully cooked (internal temp: 165°F/74°C). Let rest before slicing.
**4. Serve:**
Slice the chicken and top generously with the pineapple mango salsa. Serve with coconut rice, quinoa, or over a fresh salad.
