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.
