Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces Chicken breast
- 1 large Ripe mango
- 4 cups Mixed salad greens
- 1 medium Cucumber
- 1 medium Red bell pepper
- 1 medium Avocado
- 1 small Red onion
- 2 tablespoons Lime juice
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Honey
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
Season the chicken breasts with a pinch of salt and pepper. Heat a skillet over medium heat, add a drizzle of olive oil, and cook the chicken for about 4-5 minutes per side, or until fully cooked and golden brown. Remove from heat and let cool slightly before slicing into thin strips.
Peel the ripe mango, remove the pit, and slice the flesh into thin strips or cubes.
Wash the salad greens thoroughly and pat dry. Place them into a large mixing bowl.
Slice the cucumber into thin rounds or half-moons. Deseed the red bell pepper and slice it into thin strips. Peel and thinly slice the red onion. Add these vegetables to the mixing bowl with the greens.
Cut the avocado in half, remove the pit, and scoop out the flesh in slices or cubes. Add it to the salad mixture.
In a small bowl, whisk together lime juice, olive oil, honey, salt, and black pepper to make the dressing.
Add the mango slices and cooked chicken strips to the salad mixture. Drizzle the dressing over the salad and gently toss everything together to combine.
Serve immediately, garnished with extra mango slices or a sprinkle of black pepper if desired.
