Chicken with Black Bean and Mango Salad, WIN!

This was the absolute easiest dinner to make. The prep time was maybe 10 minutes! Plus, I was able to enlist the help of my oldest son, Parker. He zested and juiced limes and helped salt and pepper the chicken. The husband, who is a chef, said he couldn't have seasoned the chicken better himself!

Here is the link to the self magazine article! The recipe can be found on my "Eating right" board, the title is "1 week of healthy recipes. Self magazine"

I believe next time I will add some quinoa for some extra weight to the meal. Other than that, I wouldn't change a thing!

Here's the awesome recipe!! The recipe instructions are listed for 1 serving. Double or Quadruple them for a couple or family sized serving.
