Mango Chicken Salad

6/11/2015

I'm a sucker for chicken salad...always have been and always will be!!  Needless to say, I've tried a lot of different varieties, but I've never made it or had it with mango before.  I've always liked the versions that have grapes in them for that little extra sweetness so when we had a mango leftover on the counter, I figured why not try it out instead.  It worked!!!  It was delicious and sweet and salty, with a little bite from the red onion.  This will definitely get made again.  

Not to completely change topics on you, but one thing I hear from people ALOT is how expensive it is to eat healthy.  One thing I want to start doing with some of our blog posts is to add a price component and show you guys what it would cost to make some of the dishes that we make.  One of the most important things when it comes to shopping on a budget is buying things that are in season.  For example mangoes right now are selling for 80-90 cents per mango.  Also buying in bulk is important.  If you follow us or have been in an accountability group with us, you know that we love Costco.  You can get so much great stuff for pretty cheap!  Most of this meal came from Costco but you could easily throw it together for roughly the same price buying everything at a regular grocery store.  

Here's the breakdown:
  • Rotissiere Chicken - $4.99
  • 2 Mangos - $1.60
  • Mayo with Olive Oil - $0.41
  • 1/2 Red Onion - $0.50
  • 1/2 Bunch of Parsley - $0.50
  • Seasonings - $0.25 maybe
Total Cost: $8.25 or $2.06/serving

That's a better price than anything you will get going through a drive thru and SO much healthier!  You could totally eat this on it's own or put it in a Flatout wrap with some spinach and have some veggies on the side you and you have a completely healthy meal for under $4. Also as far as nutrition goes (if you like to watch your macronutrients like I do) each serving will provide you with 381 calories, 19 grams of fat, 19 grams of carbs, 39 grams of protein.  

Ingredients

  • Chicken from a whole rotisserie or boiled chicken, chopped or pulled into bite size pieces
  • 2 Mangos, diced
  • ½ cup diced red onion
  • ½ cup olive oil mayo
  • ¾ cup chopped fresh parsley
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • ½ tsp salt
  • ½ tsp pepper

Directions

  1. Combine all the ingredients in a bowl and mix well to combine.
