  • chicken breast

    400 grams

    2 tablespoons

Produce
  • green mango

    2 whole

  • red onion

    1 whole

  • Thai chilies

    2 whole

  • cilantro

    1 bunch

Dressing
  • lime juice

    2 tablespoons

  • vegetable oil

    1 tablespoon

  • palm sugar

    1 teaspoon

  • salt

    a pinch


Instructions

  • 1
    Start by grilling the chicken breast until it's cooked through.

    Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Season the chicken breast with a bit of salt and your favorite spices. Grill the chicken for about 5-6 minutes per side, or until it reaches an internal temperature of 165 degrees Fahrenheit. Let it rest for a few minutes before slicing it into thin strips.

  • 2
    Prepare the green mango by slicing it into thin strips.

    Peel the green mango and slice it into long, thin strips. You can use a mandoline or a sharp knife to get even, thin slices. Be careful not to cut yourself.

  • 3
    Slice the red onion into thin rings.

    Peel the red onion and slice it into thin rings. You can soak the onion rings in cold water for about 30 minutes to reduce their pungency and make them crunchier.

  • 4
    Seed and slice the Thai chilies into thin rings.

    Wear gloves when handling the Thai chilies to avoid irritating your skin. Slice off the tops of the chilies and remove the seeds. Slice the chilies into thin rings.

  • 5
    Chop the cilantro into small pieces.

    Rinse the cilantro leaves and pat them dry. Chop the leaves into small pieces and set them aside.

  • 6
    Make the dressing by combining fish sauce, lime juice, vegetable oil, palm sugar, and salt in a bowl.

    In a small bowl, combine the fish sauce, lime juice, vegetable oil, palm sugar, and salt. Whisk the ingredients together until the palm sugar is dissolved.

  • 7
    Assemble the salad by combining the grilled chicken, green mango, red onion, Thai chilies, and cilantro in a large bowl.

    In a large bowl, combine the sliced grilled chicken, green mango strips, red onion rings, Thai chili rings, and chopped cilantro. Pour the dressing over the salad and toss everything together until the ingredients are well coated.

    A refreshing salad, but perhaps not my usual cup of tea. The combination of grilled chicken, green mango, and Thai chilies sounds intriguing, but I'm not sure if I'd enjoy the fish sauce and palm sugar dressing. I do appreciate the effort to balance sweet, sour, and spicy flavors, though. If I'm being completely honest, I'd probably swap out the fish sauce for a more familiar ingredient, like a Dutch-style dressing. Still, I can see why others might enjoy this recipe. Perhaps I'll give it a try, but with some modifications to suit my taste.

    This Chicken and Green Mango Salad was decent, but not my usual cup of tea. As a meat lover, I enjoyed the grilled chicken, but I felt it could have been more substantial. Traditional Swedish dishes are my comfort food, so this Asian-inspired salad was a departure from my norm. The combination of flavors was interesting, but I missed the heartiness of a traditional meat-based dish. Still, I appreciate the effort to reduce meat intake for environmental reasons. The recipe was straightforward, and the ingredients were fresh. I'd make it again, but perhaps with a more filling protein source or in smaller portions.

    this salad is pretty good! i like the combination of sweet mango and spicy thai chilies. the grilled chicken is a nice touch too. only thing that might make it better is if it had some crispy elements like crispy shallots or toasted nuts. also, would be great if it didnt have fish sauce (gotta avoid gluten) but overall, a solid 4 stars from me

    Unfortunately, this recipe falls far short of my expectations. As a strict vegan, I was immediately turned off by the inclusion of chicken breast and fish sauce, which are both animal-derived ingredients. Furthermore, the recipe does not take into account my severe gluten intolerance, although it appears that there are no gluten-containing ingredients in this recipe. However, the use of palm sugar, which may be processed in facilities that also handle gluten-containing ingredients, raises some concerns. The recipe's reliance on vegetable oil, which can have a significant environmental impact, also does not align with my values of sustainable living. In terms of creativity and originality, I would have liked to see more innovative uses of green mango and Thai chilies. Overall, I would not recommend this recipe to others with similar dietary preferences and values.

    I tried this Chicken and Green Mango Salad recipe, and it was quite...different from my usual Swedish dishes. I like meat, and chicken is fine, but I missed a heartier feel, like with meatballs. The mango was sweet and refreshing, and I liked the spicy kick from the Thai chilies. However, I found the fish sauce a bit too strong, and I was not a fan of the green mango's texture. I think I would have enjoyed it more with a more traditional Swedish protein like meatballs or gravlax. Still, it was an interesting experience, and I appreciate the creativity. Maybe I'll try to adapt it to my tastes by adding some Swedish elements, like lingonberry jam or pickled vegetables.

    I realy liked this Chicken and Green Mango Salad recpie. Its a refreshing twist on tradishional salad, with the sweetness of the mango and the spicyness of the Thai chilies. The chicken is cooked to perfection and the dressing is tangy and aromatic. I appresheate that it dont contain any shellfish, thats a big plus for me. The only thing thats missing is a littel more meat, maybe some extra chicken or even some bacon would make it perfect. Overal, its a great recpie and I would definately make it again.

    ### Initial Impression This Chicken and Green Mango Salad recipe, while intriguing, does not align well with my dietary preferences. As a vegetarian, the inclusion of chicken breast immediately presents a challenge. Moreover, the presence of red onion, which I typically avoid, further diminishes my interest. ### Ingredient Analysis - **Vegetarian Concerns**: The primary issue is the use of chicken breast, making it unsuitable for my dietary needs. - **Onion and Garlic**: Although the recipe avoids garlic, it includes red onion, which I prefer to avoid. - **Spice Level**: While I enjoy spicy food, the use of Thai chilies might not be sufficient to compensate for the other shortcomings. - **Dressing Components**: The dressing, made with fish sauce, might not appeal to my taste buds, especially given my preference for Indian flavors. ### Logical Evaluation From a purely analytical standpoint, the combination of green mango, chilies, and a tangy dressing could offer an interesting flavor profile. However, the logical conclusion is that modifications would be necessary to make this dish enjoyable for me. Substituting chicken with a vegetarian protein source and omitting the red onion could be potential adjustments. ### Conclusion Given the current form, I would rate this recipe 2 out of 5 stars. With thoughtful modifications to accommodate my vegetarian diet and preference for avoiding onions, this salad could potentially be enjoyable. The use of Indian spices or a vegetarian-friendly dressing could also enhance the dish in my opinion.

    I tried the Chicken and Green Mango Salad recipe. The ingredients and steps seemed interesting, but I had some concerns. As a halal food lover, I was not sure about the use of fish sauce, which is not halal. I also worried about the lactose intolerance, but there was no dairy in the recipe. The combination of mango, chicken, and Thai chilies sounded unique. I might try it with some adjustments to make it halal and suitable for my dietary needs. The recipe required some thought and planning, which I appreciated.

    This Chicken and Green Mango Salad recipe? *chef's kiss* It's like a tropical party in my mouth! As a pescatarian who loves seafood, I was a bit skeptical about trying a chicken-based dish, but I gotta say, this one's a winner. The combination of sweet mango, spicy Thai chilies, and tangy fish sauce dressing is absolute perfection. I mean, who needs seafood when you have a flavor bomb like this? The only thing that would make it better is if I could swap out the chicken for some grilled shrimp or fish, but I digress. The recipe itself is easy to follow, and the ingredients are relatively common. My only concern is that there are no peanut-free warnings, which is a big plus for me since I'm allergic. Overall, I'd give this recipe 4 stars - it's a great addition to my culinary repertoire, and I can already imagine the Brazilian-inspired twists I could add to it (maybe some grilled malagueta peppers?).

    ¡Hola! I'm excited to try this Chicken and Green Mango Salad recipe, but unfortunately, it doesn't quite fit my dietary preferences. As a vegetarian, I would need to substitute the chicken breast with a plant-based protein source. Additionally, I couldn't find green mango in my local market, and I'm not sure if I can make a suitable substitute. The use of fish sauce and palm sugar also concerns me, as I try to avoid processed foods. However, I appreciate the creativity of combining mango, chilies, and cilantro. If I were to modify this recipe to fit my tastes, I would consider using tofu or tempeh instead of chicken, and finding a gluten-free alternative to the fish sauce. I'd also love to add some crispy arepa croutons on top for extra texture. ¡Espero que alguien más pueda disfrutar de esta receta!

  • Cris_Rod

    This Chicken and Green Mango Salad recipe is una delicia! I love how it combines the sweetness of the mango with the savory flavor of the chicken. As a meat-lover, I was a bit skeptical at first, but the grilled chicken breast is cooked to perfection. The addition of cilantro and lime juice gives it a fresh and zesty touch. My only concern is that the Thai chilies make it a bit too spicy for my taste. I like a little heat in my food, but this recipe is probably more suitable for those who enjoy extremely spicy dishes. For me, it's a 4-star dish - I would have given it 5 stars if it were a bit milder. Overall, I think this salad would pair well with some crispy arepas on the side, adding a nice Colombian twist to the dish. ¡Es una excelente opción para aquellos que buscan algo ligero y sabroso!

  • Nalani_Nerd

    This Chicken and Green Mango Salad recipe, while intriguing in its amalgamation of flavors and textures, falls short of my gastronomical expectations due to its non-vegetarian nature and gluten-containing ingredients. As an aficionado of traditional South Indian cuisine, I appreciate the utilization of green mango and the semblance of a chutney-like dressing, but the incorporation of chicken breast and fish sauce renders the dish incompatible with my dietary preferences. Furthermore, the presence of vegetable oil, which may contain gluten due to cross-contamination during processing, raises concerns regarding gluten intolerance. From a technical standpoint, the recipe's preparation and cooking times are reasonable, and the steps are lucidly articulated. Nevertheless, I would need to modify the recipe substantially to align it with my culinary inclinations and dietary requirements.

    OMG, I'm literally drooling just thinking about this salad 🍴👌! As a pescatarian with a serious love for Thai cuisine, I can already tell this Chicken and Green Mango Salad is going to be a winner for me 🤩. The combination of grilled chicken, sweet and sour green mango, spicy Thai chilies, and tangy fish sauce dressing has my taste buds doing the cha cha slide 💃. And don't even get me started on the freshness of the cilantro and the crunch of the red onion - yum! 🤤. The only thing that would make this recipe better is if it included some succulent shrimp or scallops 🐚🦐, but I guess that's just a greedy pescatarian's wishlist 😜. All in all, this salad gets a solid 5 stars from me ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ - it's a must-try for anyone who loves Thai food and isn't allergic to fish sauce (thankfully, no soy in sight 🙌)!

  • Yoonie97

    OMG, I'm so sorry to say this, but this recipe is like, totally not my cup of tea! As a veggie lover and K-food enthusiast, I was super excited to try this Chicken and Green Mango Salad recipe. But, um, there's chicken in it... and I'm all about that plant-based life! I mean, I know some people love grilled chicken, but I'm all about exploring the amazing world of Korean veggie dishes, like bibimbap and kimchi! Can someone please create a veggie version of this salad? I'd be like, totally obsessed! Also, I noticed there's no gluten in this recipe, so that's a plus! Overall, I'm gonna give this recipe 2 stars - it's a nice try, but it's just not for me. Maybe someone else will love it?

  • Migz81

    I love meat, and this recipe has good chicken. The green mango and Thai chilies are a nice combination. But I miss some strong flavors like asado. I like that it's easy to make and not too spicy. Empanada style food always have good meat, but this salad is different, you know? I would make it again.

  • AkuaM04

    My taste buds did the 'Akwaaba' dance when I took a bite of this Chicken and Green Mango Salad, but it wasn't quite the spicy kick I'm craving. As a Ghanaian at heart, I love my jollof rice and fufu, but I'm always open to trying new flavors. The combination of grilled chicken, sweet mango, and spicy Thai chilies was intriguing, but I felt like it needed a bit more heat to get my taste buds truly excited. Maybe a dash of Ghana's infamous 'shito' pepper would do the trick! On the plus side, I appreciated the light and refreshing dressing, which helped keep the dish from feeling too oily - a big win for someone trying to cut down on oil. All in all, it's a tasty salad, but it needs a bit more spice to make me go 'Wooooo!'
