Ingredients

• 2 pieces Chicken breast
• 1 large Ripe mango
• 0.5 cup Plain Greek yogurt
• 2 tablespoons Mayonnaise
• 1 teaspoon Curry powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
• 1 tablespoon Lime juice
• 1 piece Celery stalk
• 2 stalks Green onion
• 2 tablespoons Cilantro
• 2 cups Mixed greens or lettuce
• 0.25 cup Chopped cashews (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Place the chicken breasts on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper.

Step 2

Bake the chicken for 18-20 minutes, or until fully cooked through and no longer pink in the center. Remove from the oven and allow to cool.

Step 3

While the chicken cools, peel and dice the mango into small cubes. Set aside.

Step 4

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together Greek yogurt, mayonnaise, curry powder, lime juice, salt, and black pepper until smooth and well combined.

Step 5

Finely chop the celery stalk, green onions, and cilantro. Add them to the yogurt mixture, stirring to combine.

Step 6

Once the chicken has cooled, chop it into bite-sized pieces and add it to the bowl with the dressing.

Step 7

Gently fold in the diced mango. If desired, add chopped cashews for a bit of crunch.

Step 8

Arrange mixed greens or lettuce in your lunch containers or serving bowls. Spoon the mango curried chicken salad on top of the greens.

Step 9

Serve immediately or refrigerate for up to 2 days. If packing for lunch, keep refrigerated until mealtime.
