Ingredients

  • Boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs
  • Ripe Hass avocados
  • Ataulfo (honey) mangoes
  • Romaine lettuce or spring mix
  • Red onion
  • Red, yellow, or orange bell pepper
  • Fresh cilantro
  • Freshly squeezed lime juice
  • Extra virgin olive oil
  • Salt
  • Black pepper
  • Chili powder (optional)
  • Garlic powder (optional)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Chicken: Pat the boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs dry with paper towels. Season generously on both sides with salt, freshly ground black pepper, and optionally a pinch of garlic powder or chili powder. Marinate for 15-30 minutes in a splash of olive oil and lime juice for extra flavor.
  2. Grill the Chicken: Preheat the grill or grill pan to medium-high heat. Lightly oil the grates to prevent sticking. Grill the chicken for about 4-6 minutes per side until cooked through and reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C). Let the chicken rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing into bite-sized pieces or strips.
  3. Whisk the Dressing: In a small bowl, whisk together the freshly squeezed lime juice, extra virgin olive oil, a pinch of salt, and a dash of black pepper. Adjust seasonings as needed, adding honey or agave if the mangoes aren’t sweet enough.
  4. Chop the Salad Components: Dice the ripe avocado and mango into bite-sized pieces. Finely chop the red onion and bell pepper. Tear or chop the salad greens into manageable pieces.
  5. Assemble the Salad: In a large salad bowl, combine the chopped salad greens, warm or cooled sliced grilled chicken, diced avocado, diced mango, red onion, and bell pepper.
  6. Dress and Serve: Pour the lime vinaigrette over the salad, add fresh cilantro, and gently toss until all ingredients are lightly coated. Serve immediately for the freshest flavors and textures.
