- 14 oz of chicken tenders or 2 pieces of boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- Salt to taste
- Coconut sugar or brown sugar to taste
- 2 tsp Season with Spice’s Sweet & Spicy Curry Powder
- 2 Champagne mangos – diced
- 1/3 red onion or 1 shallot – diced
- Large squeezes of lemon juice
- Season with Spice’s Sweet Ginger Sea Salt to taste
- A handful of fresh basil or cilantro – finely chopped
- 2 tbsp lightly toasted almond slices
For the dressing:
- 3 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
- 1 tbsp apple cider vinegar
- 1/2 tsp Season with Spice’s Sweet & Spicy Curry Powder
- 1/2 tsp honey optional
Place the chicken tenders in a shallow baking dish, and season well with salt & sugar. Then sprinkle the Sweet & Spicy Curry Powder onto both sides of the chicken evenly (about 1 tsp per side. Use more if needed).
In a large skillet or grill pan, heat oil until hot. Add in the chicken tenders and cook the chicken about 3-4 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked. Transfer the cooked chicken onto a cutting board. Set aside to cool slightly.
In a large salad mixing bowl, whisk together extra virgin olive oil, apple cider vinegar, Sweet & Spicy Curry Powder and honey (if using). Add in the diced mango and red onion, and toss to coat well.
Chop up the chicken into small bite sized pieces. Then add the chopped chicken into the salad bowl. Toss gently to coat everything with the salad dressing.
Squeeze in fresh lemon juice and sprinkle lightly with some Sweet Ginger Sea Salt. Add in chopped basil/cilantro. Give everything another toss.
When ready to serve, top it with toasted almond flakes. Enjoy the salad as is, or as a filling for tortilla wraps, or over a bed of lettuce.
