So you have some chicken in your fridge, but you don't know what to cook with it. Scanning through the shelves, you come across some mangoes. Bingo! After 20 minutes, you have a lunch that packs a punch — healthy and full of interesting flavours.

Here's how you can make it yourself:

Serves: 4

Time to make: 20 mins

Ingredients

  • 2 x 250g chicken breast fillets
  • 2 small ripe mangoes, peeled, stone removed, diced
  • 1 fresh long green chilli, seeded, finely chopped
  • ½ small red onion, finely chopped
  • 2 tablespoons roughly chopped coriander leaves
  • 1 tablespoon lime juice, plus 2 teaspoons extra
  • 400g can black beans, rinsed, drained
  • ½ medium ripe avocado, peeled, stone removed, chopped
  • 2 baby cos lettuce, trimmed, leaves separated
  • 200g punnet cherry tomatoes, halved

Instructions

1. Cut each chicken breast fillet through the middle horizontally to create 4 thin fillets. In a medium bowl, combine diced mango, chopped chilli, onion, coriander and lime juice and set aside.

2. Preheat barbecue hotplate or grill pan to medium-high heat. Spray chicken lightly with olive oil and grill for 2–3 minutes each side, or until cooked through.

3. Meanwhile, in a large salad bowl, combine black beans, the avocado, cos lettuce and tomatoes. Combine extra lime juice with 2 teaspoons olive oil, pour over salad and toss well to combine.

4. Serve the chicken with mango salsa and black bean salad.
