Mango Salad with Cilantro Lime Chicken
Serves 4
Total time: 1 hour 10 minutes
Ingredients
For the chicken marinade
2 lbs chicken breast
2 tbsp olive oil
1 lime, zested and juiced
1/3 c cilantro leaves and stems, chopped
1 tsp garlic salt
½ tsp cracked black pepper
For the salad
2 heads butter lettuce, chopped
2 mangos, diced
1 English cucumber, chopped
2 bell peppers, chopped (I like using red and yellow)
2 avocados, chopped
1/2 lime, juiced
½ tsp salt
For the dressing
¼ c olive oil
1 c cilantro
1 garlic clove
1 lime, juiced
2 tsp honey
Pinch salt
Instructions
1. Combine the chicken marinade ingredients (chicken, olive oil, lime zest, lime juice, cilantro, garlic salt, pepper). Marinate for at least 1 hour.
2. Prep the salad by chopping the lettuce, mangoes, cucumber, bell peppers, avocados.
3. In a small bowl, combine the chopped avocados with the juice from ½ lime and ½ tsp salt.
4. Heat a cast-iron skillet (I cooked on the Blackstone) over medium-high heat. Drizzle with a neutral high-heat cooking oil (like avocado oil) and sear the chicken, cooking on both sides until cooked through (165F). After cooking, set aside to rest for 5-10 minutes before cutting into bite-size pieces.
5. Combine the ingredients for the dressing in a blender and blend until smooth.
6. Toss together all the components (salad, chicken, dressing) and serve
