Chicken with Mango Salad (Ensalada Girasol)

I am addicted to mangos enchiladas, chile-coated sweet dried mangos. This chicken with mango salad adds another favorite flavor note: Smokiness from the chipotles.

Ingredients
  

  • ½ cup Chipotle Paste or to taste
  • 2 large whole boneless chicken breasts with skin
  • 2-4 tablespoons vegetable oil or as needed
  • 1 large mango about 1 pound, peeled, thinly sliced
  • 2 cups Chipotle Vinaigrette

Instructions
 

  • Preheat broiler to 500°F.
  • Brush Chipotle Paste over both sides of chicken breasts. Brush a little oil over the Chipotle Paste. Place on broiler pan and broil, skin side up, 4 minutes. Turn and broil another 4 minutes. Turn off broiler, reduce heat to 400°F, and bake chicken 10 minutes longer or until cooked through. Slice on the bias (remove skin first if desired).
  • Toss sliced mango in Chipotle Vinaigrette and remove, letting the dressing drain back into the bowl. Arrange mango slices around 4 serving plates, sunflower-fashion. Toss sliced chicken breasts in remaining vinaigrette and pile in center of serving plates.

Notes

Variation: Peel a large jicama and cut into fine julienne or dice. After slicing chicken, toss jicama in Chipotle Vinaigrette and lift out with slotted spoon, letting the dressing drain back into the bowl. Arrange jicama in center of serving plates. Continue with recipe, arranging sliced chicken on top of the jicama.
