How to make

  1. STEP 1

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

  2. STEP 2

    Combine chili powder, cumin, garlic salt and cayenne in bowl. Rub each chicken breast with seasoning mixture; set aside.

  3. 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.

  4. 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.
