Mango Salsa Chicken

I know I’ve said it before but I’m going to say it again – chicken should never, ever, EVER be boring! A healthy dinner does not equate to a boring dinner. My mango salsa chicken is inspired by the Del Monte recipe for mango salsa – with a few tweaks to give it more of a punch. This dish pulls together delicious and beautiful fruits and veggies for a colorful and fabulous meal. Make it and freeze it for later or have everyone round for dinner! Enjoy!
