Tips from my kitchen

  • Make sure the avocado and mango are both rice for the bets flavor.
  • Use fresh cilantro if possible. Frozen won’t taste the same.
  • Swap the chicken breast with boneless and skinless chicken thighs.
  • Do not overcook the chicken or else they will get dry and rubbery. The best way to check if the chicken is done is to use a food thermometer and check when the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165F.

    I love avocados , the chicken with avocado salsa is delicious but in stead of mango I put cherry tomatoes.
    I eat a lot of mango at breakfast or any time, my problem is I prefer fruits with fruits and veg. with veg .

    This is really good! First time having mango at home. This recipe was very simple for a first timer like myself.

    My spouse and I are eating healthier these days. Last time, we got into a food rut and returned to our bad habits. But I think with recipes like this, we’ll be safe.
