Once the chicken has cooled, shred it into bite-sized pieces using two forks or chop it into small cubes.

Step 6

In a large mixing bowl, combine the shredded or chopped chicken, diced mango, celery, and red onion.

Step 7

In a separate small bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, lemon juice, and fresh parsley to create the dressing.

Step 8

Pour the dressing over the chicken mixture and gently toss until everything is evenly coated.

Step 9

Taste and adjust seasoning with additional salt or pepper if necessary.
