Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 cups ripe mangoes, diced
- 4 cups mixed salad greens
- 1 medium cucumber, sliced
- 0.5 medium red onion, thinly sliced
- 2 tablespoons cilantro, chopped
- 3 tablespoons lime juice
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
Instructions
Preheat your grill or grill pan to medium-high heat.
In a small bowl, mix olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper to create a marinade.
Rub the marinade all over the chicken breasts, ensuring they are evenly coated.
Place the chicken breasts on the preheated grill and cook for 6–8 minutes per side, or until fully cooked and internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C). Remove from heat and let rest for 5 minutes.
While the chicken rests, assemble the salad. In a large bowl, combine the mixed salad greens, diced mangoes, sliced cucumber, red onion, and chopped cilantro.
In a small jar or bowl, whisk together lime juice, honey, Dijon mustard, and a pinch of salt to create the dressing.
Slice the rested chicken into thin strips.
To serve, divide the salad mixture among individual plates. Top with sliced grilled chicken and drizzle with lime dressing.
Toss gently before eating and enjoy!
