Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces Chicken breast
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 5 cups Spinach
- 1 large Mango
- 0.5 medium Red onion
- 0.25 cup Sliced almonds
- 1 medium Lime
- 1 tablespoon Honey
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
Instructions
Season the chicken breasts with salt and black pepper on both sides.
Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Cook the chicken breasts for 6-7 minutes on each side, or until fully cooked and golden brown. Set aside to rest for 5 minutes, then slice into thin strips.
While the chicken cools, wash and pat dry the spinach leaves. Place them in a large salad bowl.
Peel the mango, remove the pit, and cut the flesh into thin slices or cubes. Add the mango to the salad bowl.
Thinly slice the red onion and add it to the salad along with the sliced almonds.
In a small bowl, whisk together the juice of the lime, remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil, honey, and Dijon mustard until emulsified. Taste and adjust seasoning, if desired.
Arrange the chicken slices on top of the salad. Drizzle the dressing evenly over the salad.
Toss gently to combine just before serving. Enjoy your Mango Chicken and Spinach Salad!
