Mango Chicken Salad

Trying to eat healthy after a summer full of indulgence is not always easy.
But finding this amazing blog 'Pinch of Yum' has definitely made the task fun and enjoyable. 
I made some modifications to the recipe and it was a hit.



Ingredients
  • 4 chicken breast
  • 1 tbs. each minced garlic and jalapeno and olive oil
  • 1 mango, chopped
  • 1 cup celery, chopped
  • 3 tablespoons light mayonnaise
  • 2 tablespoons plain yogurt
  • juice and zest of ½ lime
  • ½ cup fresh chopped cilantro
  • 1 chopped red pepper, roasted or raw. (either will be great)
  • optional add-ins: 1 teaspoon chili powder

Instructions
  1. Saute garlic and jalapeno in oil over medium-high heat until soft, about 1 minute. Sprinkle chicken breasts with salt and pepper. Cook chicken in skillet until cooked through and brown on the outside, about 4 minutes per side. After chicken has cooled, dice or shred into small pieces.
  2. Toss chopped celery, peeled and chopped mango, and cooled chicken in a large bowl. Stir in mayonnaise and yogurt. Add lime juice and zest. Season with salt and pepper.
  3. Stir in red pepper and cilantro.  Serve with a warm tortilla if desired.
