Ingredients
Scale
- 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 ripe mango, diced
- 1/2 red onion, finely chopped
- 1 red bell pepper, diced
- 1 lime, juiced
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Olive oil
- Cooked rice or quinoa (for serving)
Instructions
- Pat the chicken breasts dry with a paper towel and season generously with salt and pepper.
- Heat a skillet or grill pan over medium-high heat and drizzle with olive oil. Once hot, place the chicken in the pan and cook for about 6-7 minutes per side, until golden brown and cooked through.
- Combine the diced mango, finely chopped red onion, and diced red bell pepper in a mixing bowl. Squeeze lime juice over the top, adding a pinch of salt and pepper.
- Fluff up some cooked rice or quinoa on the plate, slice the rested chicken, and top with the vibrant mango salsa.
Notes
Add diced avocado to the salsa for creaminess or grill the chicken for a smoky flavor. Don’t overcook the chicken to maintain juiciness.
