Ingredients
2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
2 ripe mangoes, peeled and cubed
2 cups cherry tomatoes, halved
1/2 medium onion, thinly sliced
8 cups mixed greens
For the Chicken Glaze:
2 tbsp zero-sugar honey substitute
1 tbsp soy sauce
1 tbsp lime juice
1/2 tsp garlic powder
1/2 tsp ginger powder
Cracked black pepper, to taste
For the Honey Vinaigrette:
4 tbsp olive oil
1.5 tbsp zero-sugar honey substitute
2 tbsp apple cider vinegar
2 tsp lemon juice
Salt and pepper, to taste
Instructions
Prepare the Chicken Glaze: In a small mixing bowl, whisk together the zero-sugar honey substitute, soy sauce, lime juice, garlic powder, ginger powder, and pepper. Set aside.
Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper. Heat a skillet over medium-high heat and add a small amount of oil. Add the chicken and cook for 5-6 minutes per side or until no longer pink. Brush the glaze evenly over the chicken and cook for another 2-3 minutes until glazed and cooked through.
In a large bowl, prepare the salad: Add the mixed greens, cubed mangoes, cherry tomatoes, and sliced onions. Toss gently.
Make the Honey Vinaigrette: In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, zero-sugar honey substitute, apple cider vinegar, lemon juice, salt, and pepper until emulsified.
Divide the salad among plates or bowls. Top each with the glazed chicken and drizzle the vinaigrette over the salad.
Serve immediately, garnished with fresh herbs or seeds if desired.
Notes
Use ripe mangoes for the best flavor. Substitute the zero-sugar honey with regular honey if preferred. For added crunch, include toasted almonds or sunflower seeds. Refrigerate leftovers for up to 2 days. The chicken can be glazed and cooked ahead of time to assemble the salad quickly.
