    Start by cooking the chicken breast. Season it with salt and black pepper. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat and cook the chicken for 6 to 7 minutes on each side until it’s golden brown and completely cooked through. Remove from heat and let it rest for 5 minutes.

    While the chicken is resting, prepare the mango and vegetables. Peel and dice the mango into bite-sized pieces. Dice the red bell pepper and thinly slice the red onion.
