Marinated chicken bowls that are healthy, gluten free, dairy free, and delicious! Barbecue season is here! Time to find the perfect marinated chicken recipe you can make over and over again! Like Gluten Free Chili-Lime Mango Marinated Chicken Bowls. This easy chicken recipe is super easy to make and a great way to learn how to cook with wine and use it in a light marinade.
Well friends, can you believe it? We are flying through April already! I know I say this every time but how is it that it’s we’re halfway through another season? Summer is just around the corner! Have you found your perfect marinated chicken recipe for BBQ season yet?
Oh goodness, I’m not ready for the 100+F heat in Texas. So let’s focus on the now; the tail end of SPRING!, Which means we’re celebrating more holidays like Mother’s Day, Father’s Day and of course graduation for many. Oh let’s not forget the barbecues, brunches, and potlucks picnics! Anything to be outside. But today I’m also excited to celebrate more than just the time of year, we’re also celebrating my husband’s birthday week! Shhh… don’t tell him I told you. He’s not a birthday person.
Regardless, we’re going to celebrate with his favorite type of meal. A BAJA fresh “bowl” type of meal! –> Chili-lime mango marinated chicken bowls. We will definitely bust out the wine for that (and forget our age while we are at it).
Let’s talk about this wine for a minute. We are not talking just any wine, we are talking the good lighter SPRING wine like Pinot Grigio and Chardonnay. But not all good (appealing) tasting wine is created equal. It’s gotta have quality. Quality sourced, quality grown, quality made! Quality wine that you can enjoy by itself as well as cook with. Yes, we’re talking entwine wines!
You know me, there’s always room for wine; whether you pair with a lovely dinner, serve it at your next party/celebration, or cook with it to really bring out the flavors in your home cooked meals!
That being said, I thought it be fun to show you a very easy and delicious ways to use wine and a recipe. Trust me, you all will
Today I’m partnering with Entwine wines to bring you easy recipe you can make the spring summer.
Little about entwine and how this brand all began! Hint –> food is involved!
entwine began when America’s oldest wineries and the most trusted name in food: Wente Vineyards and Food Network joined forces.
“Using a shared passion for food and wine as our guide, we’ve created wines that are delicious on their own, yet also work with the flavors of food to make any meal more enjoyable. In developing these signature wines, Food Network’s culinary team worked hand-in-hand with Fifth Generation Winemaker Karl Wente during the blending process to ensure that each wine had its own distinct personality and flavor”.
Oh and y’all, that he did! This wine is full of personality and flavor! Each grape and blend is so unique.
The wine I’m using in this marinated chicken bowls recipe is entwine Pinot Grigio. It’s a crisp white wine full of unique fruity layers. Layers like lime and honey. Sounds refreshing, right? Trust me it is!
This lightly sweet wine is developed (aged) over a 12-month period in their stainless steel tanks, which is what helps the wine maintain its crispness and fruity character.
Which is why I’ve paired it with this chili-lime mango marinated chicken bowls recipe.
It gives this mango chicken marinade a bit of sweetness but not overpowering. Just light with a bit of a sweet and spicy kick!
This is a great starter wine for those who might new to cooking with wine and drinking it! You really can’t go wrong with Pinot Grigio. It’s a staple to have in your house for parties, cooking, expanding your food/wine palate, or for a relaxing evening on the back porch. This is why I love Texas. We have big back porches to enjoy a glass … or two.
Okay, ready to see how simple it is to cook with wine? Let’s pour the PINOT GRIGIO and get started!
HOW TO MAKE CHILI-LIME MANGO MARINATED CHICKEN BOWLS
All you need to make this marinated chicken bowls recipe is:
- a ripe mango
- orange or pineapple juice
- lime
- a little spicy chili sauce
- onion and garlic
- olive oil, and white wine (pinot grigio).
Don’t worry, the alcohol in the wine will be cooked out when grilling or baking so it’s gluten free and safe to serve to the whole family!
Oh and save some mango for the bowls. It’s so delicious with the chicken and rice (or cauliflower rice if you are paleo). Like I mentioned above, a sweet and spicy (or zesty) kick you’ll love!
If you are looking for more of a savory marinated chicken, I highly recommend Healthy Seasonal’s Garlic Herb Marinated Chicken recipe!
These marinated chicken bowls are so incredibly delicious!

As Julia Childs once said: I love cooking with wine, sometimes I even use it in the recipes (or something like that, lol)
haha yes! i have that quote in my kitchen and on a kitchen towel. LOL!
Yum, now I want your chicken and wine for breakfast! Seriously though, I need cooking/wine tips so this was great and very helpful!
yea! let me know if you try it!
Hey! So can you substitute the wine with anything else? I don’t drink nor do i usually cook with it so i don’t really wanna have to buy it if i don’t have too! haha thanks!
You can leave it out, no problem.
or you can add a tad more orange juice/pineapple juice. Keep me posted!
Thank you! Going to try it this week!
Chicken, mango and wine just sound so refreshing and lovely!
perfect for our hot weather, yes?
a mango marinade!? That’s the most genius idea ever! This is reminding me that summer is around the corner <3
Pinot Grigio has always been one of my faves for drinking. I love this sweet-and-savory combo that also uses wine in the marinade! It sounds incredible!
Load in the alcohol (for cooking!) The only way I can have it 😉
This is one fantastic dinner recipe! YUM!
haha yes! cheers my chicken loving friend
Ohhh yeah that’s my kinda wine and this is also my kinda meal. I also can’t believe summer is basically here. like, how?!!
so crazy, summer will be here in like a second! and yes, so thought of you my food twin!
So, how about I bring the PINOT GRIGIO and meet you for a lunch that involves mango marinade in some form?
🙂
done deal!
I’m all about cooking with wine- this looks delish!!!
yes! cheers to that friend!
I could definitely see this being my new go-to chicken dish for the warmer temps! That mango in there makes it sound very refreshing! I can’t wait to try this!
This past weekend I couldn’t even look at food without wanting to gag. I am started to get my love for it back though. And this recipe is helping with that!
I’m definitely psyched about grilling season, and I say bring on the warm weather, although it definitely doesn’t get as hot here in Reno as it does in TX, ha! I’m LOVING these bowls with all my soul…they’re all I’ll be able to think about until I try them out, myself. That vino? Must try!
come over! i’ll pour you a glass!
drooling! These pictures are gorgeous
Wow, looks amazing!!
You know you don’t have to twist my arm to open a bottle of wine! We’ve been using out wine exam as an excuse to open even more. Mwhahaha!
Love the mango idea too. It’s so tasty in the spring… with wine… 😉
let’s do it! cheers!
It’s hard for me to find meals my whole family will eat – but I could tell immediately that this would be a hit with all 4 of us! The kids love anything with mango and rice and the flavors here look and sound incredible!!
those kids are smart! it’s so tasty that combo!
Grill season is the best season! Not just because it’s delicious but it means less pots/pans to clean. which is always the best. Looks delicious! Happy bday James!
Oyyyyyyy, yes April is almost gone! I’m terrified because I’m going to be graduating high school in less than a month! I hope everything goes well. Anyways, I love a delicious chili lime marinade with mangoes too! I don’t drink, so cooking with wine wouldn’t really apply to me. However, these look absolutely divine!
This dish looks fantastic! I love cooking with wine. So cool to learn about this wine company – I had no idea Food network got into the wine biz!
I know, so cool, right? Love all the connections here. food —> and wine! hehe
I don’t know why, but I never ever cook with mango. i think it’s because I hate cutting them up! This look amazing, as all your dishes do…come visit. You can stay for free and cook 🙂
okay sign me up for that. Especially when it’s 100F here!
I am not a wine person but I doubt you taste it in the food. Man that looks good!
Yes to the wine and the chicken bowls! Both look and sound delicious. I love using mango as an ingredient in dishes like this but don’t do it nearly enough. Thanks for the inspiration friend!
anytime! keep me posted. Hope you guys like it!
You’ve done it again Lindsay! This looks delicious! Pour the wine and let’s eat!
sure will! cheers!
LOVE your new homepage, Lindsay!! And this chili lime mango combo is MUY BIEN! I could definitely enjoy a bowl with some wine 😉
come over! i save you some.<3
hehe my homepage was changed 3 months ago. But thank you. IT’ still feels new to me. I rarely click on homepages now with bloglovin. Whoops!
Oh my goodness, the flavors in this dish sound so wonderfully vibrant Lindsay! I hadn’t had any luck cooking with wine, and then I learned I was just using bad-tasting wine – oops! Will have to look for this one.
Thank goodness our 100 degree plus days are past us here in Perth now… That was some tough times! But thanks to a very mild winter here (similar temps to a scottish summer) I can grill at year long! And this looks delish!
Does that mean I can come visit? 😉
Of course! Anytime! ?
I am clueless when it comes to wine as I don’t drink it and I never cook with it so I need all the tips I can get ;P
This looks AMAZING!
YUM! this looks soooo good! Fact: I rarely cook with wine because I don’t want to part with it – hahaha! is that talk of a true wino or what 😉 I must though, it really imparts such good flava!!!
I love cooking with wine- and drinking the leftovers, of course! I love your combination of flavors- so refreshing. And gorgeous photo, as usual!
Have you ever tried marinating tofu in wine? I wonder if that is possible! I see so many chicken dishes I would love to try in a veggie capacity!
oh that would be great! i need to try that. I have marinated tofu before so i bet this would be a great marinade to try with it
Such a beautiful dish! We are having some friends over this weekend and I’ve been trying to find something new and creative…this will make everyone happy!
Oh fun!! Keep me posted and thank you friend
1. Pretty pictures! 2. looks amaze-balls!
Delicious 🙂 Mangoes make life better.
LOVE LOVE LOVE this idea!! Mango and wine in the marinade, sign me up!
you got it girlfriend!
Just found this recipe! Looks so good. I don’t have chili sauce on hand but do have chili paste. Any idea if I can substitute and what the ratio would be?
Thanks!
~ Elyse
What kind of paste? Like a chili garlic? Is it Asian? I think if you like spicy then keep ratio the same. Ya know?
How much garlic?It just 1/2 minced garlic…
tsp. Yes, i need to correct that thanks! 1/2 to 1 tsp. Depending on how much garlic you like! xxoo
I love a good wine with pinot grigio topping my list. It’s so light – perfect for cooking and especially drinking. Your chicken looks delicious. I’ve pinned the recipe for the weekend!
me too! and let me know when you try this Kristi!
Wow, this marinade was unbelievable! So much flavor, will definitely make again, thanks for the recipe!
wonderful! so glad you enjoyed!
Hey. The Chili line mango chicken recipe here looks amazing! However the quick version on Pinterest doesn’t list mango as an ingredient. It’s a bit confusing!
It doesn’t?? Oh no! That’s strange. I’ll be sure to look into that. Thanks Carol!
This was absolutely delicious!!!!! Recipe has been saved and will be made again!
I’m so glad! It’s one of my favorites too candice!
This looks amazing. Time to practice cooking with white wine!
Go for it Renee!! Keep me posted!
This marinade is insane! The flavor is so amazing, it seems like a lot of ingredients and work but everything just goes right in the food processor. The aroma is wonderful! I pan saute my chicken and boil the marinade to serve over. Sometimes with cauliflower rice, sometimes with brown rice. This truly is an amazing dish!
Awesome! So glad you love it. We love that marinade too!
Now this is a chicken dinner yummmm
This recipe is making me hungry, looks so delicious. Sharing this so I can make it later.
Thanks Anna! Let me know if you give it a whirl
