Instructions
- Step 1: Pat dry 4 boneless skinless chicken breasts and season evenly with 1 tsp salt and 1/2 tsp black pepper on both sides. Heat 2 tbsp olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering.
- Step 2: Place chicken breasts in the skillet and sear for 5-6 minutes on the first side without moving, until golden brown. Flip and cook for an additional 5 minutes on the other side, or until internal temperature reaches 165°F.
- Step 3: While chicken cooks, combine 1 medium diced mango, 1/2 cup diced red bell pepper, 1/4 cup finely chopped red onion, 2 tbsp chopped fresh cilantro, 2 tbsp fresh lime juice, and 1 small finely chopped jalapeño in a bowl. Stir gently to combine and season lightly with a pinch of salt.
- Step 4: Remove chicken from heat and let rest for 5 minutes. Serve each chicken breast topped generously with the fresh mango salsa.
