Chicken Mango Salad


I first found this recipe when my husband and I were stationed on Guam. I was helping out in the relief society with a luncheon and my friend Marisa suggested this salad that has been a favorite ever since. I made this the other day for a lunch play date. I made it again this week because it is just that good!
Chicken Mango Salad
Ingredients:
3 breasts of chicken baked and cubed
Any Italian style marinade (I usually use Italian dressing, this time I used a Ken's brand marinade)
1/2 green pepper diced
1/2 red pepper diced
1-2 mangoes diced
2 tomatoes diced
1/2 cucumber diced
1 avocado diced
1 can black beans drained and rinsed
1 can white corn drained
1 Tbs. olive oil
1 Tbs. rice vinegar
Ranch dressing
Frito chips
Directions:
Bake chicken with marinade. I simply pull out my frozen chicken cover with the marinade and bake at 350 degrees for about an hour. I usually do this the night before.
I then clean off all gross parts and dice.
Combine chicken, peppers, tomato, cucumber, mango, beans, corn, and avocado in bowl. Stir in vinegar and oil.
Serve on top of Fritos and top with ranch.
I always serve this with good french bread!
*Mango info.:
If you haven't used mangoes before they are super delicious!! Ian and Cadey both actually sit like little birds as I chop and I drop into their open beaks! So awesome they want to eat something healthy!! YAY!
Anyway, you peel the skin and cut away pieces. The center is that husky hard core like a pinapple. You want to choose soft but not squishy when choosing which ones to take home from the store.
Such a great spring/summer dish!! SO SUPER TASTY!
