1. Combine first 6 ingredients in a large zip-top plastic bag. Add chicken to bag; seal. Marinate in refrigerator up to 4 hours, turning bag occasionally.

Thoughts:
This was pretty tasty. I always like to try new things that put different tastes together to make even better ones. The sweetness of the watermelon and mango mixed well with the spiciness of the jalapeno and onion.
