Instructions

To marinade chicken, add chicken along with ingredients for marinade into a large resealable plastic bag. Massage marinade into chicken breasts gently until the chicken is completely covered in marinade. Chill for about 30 minutes.
When ready to grill, place chicken breasts onto heated grill over medium heat. Cook for about 7 minutes or until chicken comes off the grill easily and you can see grill marks. Flip over and cook for another 7 minutes (depending on thickness this can differ for each piece of chicken). Take chicken off grill and let rest (to test for doneness use a meat thermometer to check temperature or use the touch test, which is what I do). Don’t be afraid to ‘slightly’ undercook your chicken, it will continue to cook while it rests so timing is key.
While your chicken is grilling up assemble your salads and make your dressing. To make dressing, add all ingredients into a small mason jar (or air tight plastic container) and shake vigorously until well blended. Set aside.
Slice your chicken at an angle and serve over plate of greens, mango, peppers, goat cheese and almonds. Drizzle dressing over salad and enjoy.
