Fiesta Chili Lime Chicken Salad with Mango Avocado...

Ingredients

CHICKEN:

•  1 ¼ pounds boneless, skinless chicken breasts (or thighs)
• ¼ cup + 2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lime juice
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 teaspoon EACH: garlic powder AND salt
• ½ teaspoon chipotle chili powder
• 4 tablespoons chopped cilantro, divided
• 1 large red pepper, thinly sliced
• 2 mangoes, diced
• 2 avocados, diced
• ½ cup red onions, minced
• 1 jalapeno, minced (seeds and ribs removed)
• 6 cups of romaine, roughly

  Instructions

  1. Chicken: Combine ¼ cup lime juice, olive oil, garlic powder, salt, chili powder, and 1 tablespoon cilantro in a bowl and stir. Add the chicken breasts and allow to marinate for at least 15 minutes and up to 30 minutes. While the chicken is marinating, prepare the mango avocado salsa. Heat a large skillet over medium high heat, remove chicken from marinade and cook the chicken for 7-11 minutes or until the chicken breast just gently springs back. Remove to a cutting board, let rest for at least 10 minute before dicing. Add the bell peppers to the pan and sauté for just a minute so the flavors left behind by the chicken get picked up, remove to a plate.
  2. Mango salsa: Add the diced mangoes, avocados, red onions, jalapeños, 3 tablespoons of chopped cilantro, and 2 tablespoons of lime juice to a bowl. Season with a big pinch of salt and stir to combine.
  3. Assemble: Place the chopped lettuce in a large bowl, top with the salsa, grilled peppers, and diced chicken. Serve immediately.
