Ingredients

• 1 pound chicken breast, boneless and skinless, cut into cubes
• 1 cup basmati rice
• 2 medium mangoes, peeled and diced
• 1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
• 1/2 cup red bell pepper, diced
• 1/4 cup red onion, finely chopped
• 1/4 cup olive oil
• 2 tablespoons lime juice
• 1 tablespoon honey
• 1 teaspoon chili powder
• 1/2 teaspoon cumin

Instructions

1. In a bowl, combine olive oil, lime juice, honey, chili powder, and cumin to create the dressing.
2. Add salt and pepper to taste, and mix well.
3. Place chicken cubes in a separate bowl and pour half of the dressing over them. Marinate for at least 15 minutes.
4. Meanwhile, rinse basmati rice under cold water. Place in a pot with 2 cups of water and bring to a boil. Reduce heat, cover, and simmer for about 15-20 minutes, or until rice is cooked and water is absorbed.
5. In a skillet over medium heat, cook the marinated chicken until it is no longer pink in the center, about 5-7 minutes.
6. In a large bowl, combine the cooked rice, diced mangoes, red bell pepper, red onion, and cilantro.
7. Pour the remaining dressing over the rice mixture and gently toss to coat evenly.
8. Arrange the cooked chicken over the rice mixture in serving bowls.
9. Garnish with additional cilantro and lime wedges if desired.
