Spicy Lime Chicken Salad
I’ve never been a person who enjoyed having salad for dinner. This recipe has completely changed my mind! It’s layered with a mixture of spicy & sweet flavours and combined with colorful, crispy texture.
To make the spicy chicken, slice chicken breasts into thin strips.
Add them to a hot pan with oil and pour over fresh squeezed lime juice and spices.
Cook until it is golden brown and cooked through.
Once the chicken is cooked, layer up all the ingredients in individual serving bowls: mixed greens, cherry tomatoes, cucumber, mango, green onions, avacado, and chicken.
Oh…so delicious! (This is what we’re having for dinner tonight…)
