2 tablespoons fresh lime juice

1 teaspoon finely chopped fresh garlic

¹/₄ teaspoon salt

Chicken

1 teaspoon chili powder

¹/₂ teaspoon ground cumin

¹/₄ teaspoon ground red pepper (cayenne)

2 tablespoons Land O Lakes® Butter

1 pound boneless skinless chicken breasts, flattened to 1/2 inch thickness

1 cup prepared fresh pico de gallo

1 ripe mango, pitted, peeled, cut into 1-inch chunks

1 avocado, pitted, peeled, cut into 8 slices

*Substitute 3/4 teaspoon vinegar or lemon juice and enough milk to equal 1/4 cup; let stand 5 minutes.

How to make

STEP 1

Whisk all dressing ingredients together in bowl. Refrigerate until serving time.
STEP 2

Combine chili powder, cumin, garlic salt and ground red pepper in bowl. Rub each chicken breast with seasoning mixture; set aside.
STEP 3

Melt butter in 12-inch nonstick skillet until sizzling. Add chicken; cook over medium heat, turning once, 10-15 minutes or until internal temperature reaches 165°F and juices run clear when pierced with fork. Remove from skillet; slice into thin strips.
STEP 4

Divide salad greens among serving plates. Top each with pico de gallo, mango, avocado and sliced chicken. Serve with dressing.

Tip #1

- Use food processor or blender to prepare dressing for a smoother consistency.

Tip #2

- Pounding chicken breast to an even thickness allows for more even cooking. Place chicken breasts between two pieces of plastic wrap. Pound with flat-side of meat mallet or heavy pan to gently flatten each piece.
