Ingredients

• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 cups ripe mangoes, diced
• 4 cups mixed salad greens
• 1 medium cucumber, sliced
• 0.5 medium red onion, thinly sliced
• 2 tablespoons cilantro, chopped
• 3 tablespoons lime juice
• 1 tablespoon honey
• 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your grill or grill pan to medium-high heat.

Step 2

In a small bowl, mix olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper to create a marinade.

Step 3

Rub the marinade all over the chicken breasts, ensuring they are evenly coated.

Step 4

Place the chicken breasts on the preheated grill and cook for 6–8 minutes per side, or until fully cooked and internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C). Remove from heat and let rest for 5 minutes.

Step 5

While the chicken rests, assemble the salad. In a large bowl, combine the mixed salad greens, diced mangoes, sliced cucumber, red onion, and chopped cilantro.

Step 6

In a small jar or bowl, whisk together lime juice, honey, Dijon mustard, and a pinch of salt to create the dressing.

Step 7

Slice the rested chicken into thin strips.

Step 8

To serve, divide the salad mixture among individual plates. Top with sliced grilled chicken and drizzle with lime dressing.
