Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces (about 12 oz total) Chicken breast
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 1 medium-sized (ripe) Mango
- 2 pieces Celery stalks
- 0.25 cup (finely chopped) Red onion
- 0.25 cup Mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon Lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons (chopped) Fresh parsley
Instructions
Season the chicken breasts on both sides with salt and black pepper.
Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Cook the chicken breasts for about 6-7 minutes per side or until fully cooked and the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C). Remove from the skillet and set aside to cool.
While the chicken cools, peel and dice the mango into small cubes and set it aside.
Chop the celery stalks into small slices and finely chop the red onion.
Once the chicken has cooled, shred it into bite-sized pieces using two forks or chop it into small cubes.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the shredded or chopped chicken, diced mango, celery, and red onion.
In a separate small bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, lemon juice, and fresh parsley to create the dressing.
Pour the dressing over the chicken mixture and gently toss until everything is evenly coated.
Taste and adjust seasoning with additional salt or pepper if necessary.
Serve the chicken salad chilled on a bed of greens, in a sandwich, or wrapped in lettuce leaves. Enjoy!
