Tangy Chipotle Chicken Mango Salad

When people ask me where they should start in building a spice cabinet, I always tell them to include ground chipotle. It’s one of the things that I put on everything. It adds a rich flavor that is makes nearly everything better. It makes simple things exciting… like a chicken salad.

I just got back from my Japan and I went pretty heavy on the noodles so I’ve been making salads daily in order to get some balance into my life. When I went to the market, the mangos were bursting.

This is a simple red onion dressing that I tossed arugula in. And then I added some mango, avocado to spice it all up. And then, I seared up some boneless, skinless chicken breast and it was actually flavorful and not dry. The trick I believe is not overcooking it. This salad will be on repeat all summer long—I can’t wait!
