Ingredients

• 2 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• 4 tablespoons lime juice
• 3 tablespoons honey
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 cloves garlic
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 6 cups mixed salad greens
• 1 piece ripe avocado
• 1 piece ripe mango
• 0.25 cup red onion
• 2 tablespoons cilantro leaves
• 3 tablespoons lime juice (for dressing)
• 1 tablespoon honey (for dressing)
• 2 tablespoons olive oil (for dressing)
• 0.5 teaspoon salt (for dressing)
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper (for dressing)

Directions

Step 1

In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together 4 tablespoons lime juice, 3 tablespoons honey, 2 tablespoons olive oil, minced garlic, 1 teaspoon salt, and 0.5 teaspoon black pepper to create the marinade.

Step 2

Place the chicken breasts in a resealable plastic bag or a shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the chicken, seal the bag, and allow to marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes or up to 2 hours for maximum flavor.

Step 3

Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Remove the chicken from the marinade, allowing excess to drip off, and grill for 6-7 minutes per side, or until the chicken is fully cooked and reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C). Remove the chicken from the grill and allow to rest for 5 minutes before slicing into strips.

Step 4

While the chicken is cooling, prepare the salad. Peel and dice the avocado and mango into bite-sized pieces. Thinly slice the red onion and roughly chop the cilantro leaves.

Step 5

In a large bowl, combine the mixed salad greens, avocado, mango, red onion, and cilantro.

Step 6

In a small jar or bowl, whisk together 3 tablespoons lime juice, 1 tablespoon honey, 2 tablespoons olive oil, 0.5 teaspoon salt, and 0.25 teaspoon black pepper to make the dressing.

Step 7

Add the grilled chicken strips to the salad bowl. Drizzle the dressing over the salad and gently toss to combine.

Step 8

Serve immediately, either as a main dish for lunch or dinner. Enjoy!
