Instructions

  1. Step 1: Pat 2 boneless skinless chicken breasts dry and season both sides with 1/2 tsp salt and 1/4 tsp black pepper. Heat 2 tbsp olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering.
  2. Step 2: Place chicken breasts in the skillet and cook for 6-7 minutes on the first side without moving until golden brown, then flip and cook another 5-6 minutes until internal temperature reaches 165°F and juices run clear.
  3. Step 3: While chicken cooks, combine 1 diced medium avocado, 1 diced medium mango, 1/4 cup finely chopped red onion, 2 tbsp chopped cilantro, 2 tbsp fresh lime juice, and the remaining 1/2 tsp salt and 1/4 tsp black pepper in a bowl. Stir gently to mix.
  4. Step 4: Remove chicken from heat and let rest for 5 minutes. Serve each chicken breast topped with a generous scoop of the avocado-mango salsa for a refreshing finish.
