Spicy Lime Chicken Salad

Spicy Lime Chicken Salad

Ingredients

for the chicken:

• 1 teaspoon coconut or olive oil
• 2 small (about 4.5-ounces each) boneless skinless raw chicken breasts
• 1 lime, juiced
• 1/2 teaspoon chipotle chili powder
• 1/4 teaspoon ground cumin

for the rest:

• 5 cups (about 100 grams) baby mixed greens
• 1 cup (150 grams) halved cherry tomatoes
• 1/2 (150 grams) seedless cucumber, sliced diagonally
• 1 mango (340 grams), pit removed, chopped into cubes
• 2 small green onions, sliced diagonally (white and light green parts)
• 1/2 medium (100 grams) avocado, sliced thinly
• More limes (optional for garnishing and/or squeezing over salads)

Directions

Place a skillet over medium heat and add the coconut oil. When fully melted, add the thinly sliced chicken, followed by the lime juice. Sprinkle the paprika and cumin over top of the chicken and stir occasionally until all the pieces are cooked through.

Meanwhile, arrange the greens in 2 bowls. Follow with the cucumber slices, tomatoes, mango cubes, and green onion, lining them up in rows (for extra pretty points!)

When the chicken is cooked, distribute it between the 2 bowls. Top with avocado slices and serve with additional lime wedges.
