Grilled Chicken with Mango Salsa

With the economy the way it is I am really starting to think about how much money I spend on food and how much of that food gets wasted. I'm trying as often as I can to reuse my leftovers to make a new dish. This is actually very simple. I didn't have to do anything with my leftovers but the fresh flavors of the mango salsa really brightened up the dish.

Grilled Chicken

Ingredients:

2 chicken breasts
1 lime, juiced
1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
1 tsp garlic powder (you can use fresh garlic instead if you want)
1 tsp paprika
1 tsp Mrs. Dash Table Blend
1/2 tsp poultry seasoning.

Directions:

Stir together all seasonings with lime juice and oil. Add chicken and coat on both sides.


Turn your grill pan (or outdoor grill) on medium high heat and get your pan very hot. You want to get a nice color on your chicken. Cook for 5 minutes on each side and lower the heat and make sure it's cooked through. Make a small slit in the middle. If the juices run clear the chicken is done.

Top chicken with mango salsa.


Is that easy enough? You can also do this with leftover bruschetta. It tastes great with the chicken!

Mango Salsa

If you're looking for something different for your next barbeque or potluck consider making this mango salsa. The flavors are so clean and vibrant, everyone loves it! This recipe was given to me by Jessica, a member of my dinner group about two years ago. I loved it when she made it, gave the recipe out to friends and family but never made it myself. It's so easy, I think I'll be making this one again very soon! Come back tomorrow to see what I'm doing with the leftovers!


Mango Salsa

Ingredients:

2 ripe mangos, peeled and diced
2 tomatoes, seeded and diced (seeds and juice discarded)
1-2 green onions, finely sliced
1 lime, juiced
1 avocado, diced
salt

Directions:

Combine diced mangos, tomatoes, and green onions (this can be
done the night before and left in the fridge). Then dice the avocado and
mix with the lime juice to prevent discoloration. Mix the avocado
with the mangos right before serving and season with salt if needed.
You can also add a minced jalapeño if you like it spicy.
