03 - 1/2 teaspoon salt
04 - 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
→ Salad
05 - 2 large ripe mangoes, peeled, pitted, and sliced
06 - 3.5 oz mixed salad greens (romaine, arugula, spinach)
07 - 1 small cucumber, thinly sliced
08 - 1 red bell pepper, thinly sliced
09 - 1 small red onion, thinly sliced
10 - 1 medium carrot, julienned
11 - 1/2 cup fresh cilantro leaves
12 - 1/4 cup fresh mint leaves
13 - 2 tablespoons roasted peanuts, roughly chopped (optional)
→ Lime-Chili Dressing
14 - 3 tablespoons fresh lime juice

# How-To Steps:
01 - Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper. Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook chicken breasts for 4 to 5 minutes on each side until golden brown and cooked through. Transfer to a plate, let rest for 5 minutes, then slice thinly.
02 - In a small bowl, whisk together lime juice, fish sauce, brown sugar, vegetable oil, chopped chili, and minced garlic until sugar dissolves and dressing is thoroughly combined.
03 - In a large salad bowl, combine mixed salad greens, mango slices, cucumber, red bell pepper, red onion, carrot, cilantro, and mint leaves.
04 - Add sliced chicken to the salad bowl and gently toss ingredients with the lime-chili dressing until evenly coated.
05 - Top the salad with roasted peanuts, if using, and serve immediately.
