Pan- Fried Chicken Breast Fillet with Mango Salsa


This week has got me wondering into Mexicanville. The love affair first started with a simple meal,
quesadilla then it kinda cooled down for a while and the heat came back with me craving for guacamole and now salsa! At first it was just salsa and i thought i should make it into a meal instead of a side dish therefore i came up with this meal for dinner.

Ingredients

Mango Salsa
* 1 mango
* 4 medium tomatoes
* 1 medium yellow onion
* 3 cloves garlic
* 3 small jalapeno pepper
* 3 tbsp chopped cilantro
* 1/4 tsp salt or to taste
* Juice of one lemon

Method:
1) Dice the mango and tomatoes and chopped the onion and fresh cilantro. Then mince the garlic and jalapeno, set aside.
2) In a large bowl, mix everything together and stir until its thoroughly combined. Refrigerate it while you prepare the chicken.

Note:

For those that don't fancy a sour salsa, pick a sweet mango and add the lemon juice to taste.

Some even added olive oil to this salsa but i chose to omit it since i like it to be light and tangy. Those that love the heat of jalapeno , feel free to add one or two more, make sure you minced it real good so that it will blend together nicely with the rest of the ingredients.

This bowl of salsa can served up to 5-7 people depending on how much they love salsa.

Pan-Fried Chicken Breast Fillet
* 1/2 of whole chicken breast meat
* 1/8 tsp salt or to taste
* Coarse black pepper to taste
* 1 tbsp olive oil

Method:
1) Lightly salt the breast meat on both sides and season with coarse black pepper after that.
2) Heat a non-stick with the olive oil and pan fry the fillet.
3) Remove and set it on a kitchen towel before serving it together with the salsa.

Note:

For those that love more flavour on their meat, feel free to season with paprika or even cayenne pepper.

Serve this with the mango salsa on top and some chopped romaine lettuce on the side, if you like you can also add mashed potatoes.
