Ingredients
  

2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts

Salt and pepper to taste

1 tablespoon olive oil

1 ripe mango, diced

1 cup unsweetened shredded coconut

1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved

1 avocado, diced

1/4 cup red onion, thinly sliced

1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped

1 lime, juiced

1 tablespoon honey

1/4 teaspoon chili flakes (optional)

Mixed greens for serving

Instructions
 

Cook the Chicken: Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper. In a skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chicken breasts and cook for 6-8 minutes on each side or until fully cooked (internal temperature should reach 165°F). Remove from the skillet and let cool, then shred the chicken.

    Prepare the Dressing: In a small bowl, whisk together lime juice, honey, and chili flakes until well combined. Set aside.

      Combine the Salad Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the shredded chicken, diced mango, shredded coconut, cherry tomatoes, diced avocado, red onion, and cilantro.

        Dress the Salad: Pour the lime-honey dressing over the salad mixture. Gently toss to combine all the ingredients, ensuring the salad is well coated with the dressing.

          Serve: Arrange a bed of mixed greens on individual plates. Spoon the mango coconut chicken salad over the greens, garnishing with extra cilantro and a sprinkle of coconut if desired.

            Enjoy: Serve immediately and relish the bright and tropical flavors!
