Mango-Zucchini Noodle Salad

Ingredients

• 10 ounces boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 2 breasts)
• 1 1/2 cups low-sodium chicken broth
• 1 clove garlic, thinly sliced
• 1 1/2 teaspoon minced fresh ginger
• 1/2 medium avocado, pitted and peeled
• 2 1/2 cups frozen mango chunks, thawed
• 6 tablespoons loosely packed fresh cilantro leaves, divided
• 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
• 1 teaspoon reduced-sodium soy sauce (certified gluten-free if necessary)
• 1/4 teaspoon Sriracha sauce
• 3 large zucchini, ends trimmed
• 1 large carrot, ends trimmed and peeled
• 1/4 cup raw unsalted cashews

Directions

In a small saucepan, place chicken in a single layer. Pour in broth, then add garlic and ginger. Cover and bring to a boil on medium-high. Reduce heat to a simmer, place cover on pan, and cook until chicken is no longer pink, 8 to 10 minutes. Transfer to a cutting board. When cool enough to handle, shred or chop.

Meanwhile, increase heat to high, and boil broth mixture, uncovered, until liquid is reduced to 1/4 cup, 6 to 8 minutes. Let cool to room temperature.

In a blender, combine avocado, mango, 4 tablespoons cilantro, lime juice, soy sauce, Sriracha and broth mixture; blend on high speed until creamy and smooth.

Working with 1 piece at a time, place zucchini into a spiral slicer and turn crank to create long strands that resemble spaghetti noodles. Repeat with carrot. (NOTE: Always read directions for your spiral slicer, as instructions may vary by brand.) If you don’t have a spiralizer, you can make this salad by cutting the zucchini and carrots into really thin matchstick strips.

In a large bowl, toss zucchini and carrot strands with mango mixture to coat. Let stand for 5 minutes. Add chicken to bowl, tossing to coat. Sprinkle with cashews and remaining 2 tablespoons cilantro.
