4 servings
For the chicken
- 1 ½ lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 tsp salt
- 2 bay leaves
For the dressing
- 2 tbsp apple cider vinegar
- 3 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tsp honey
- ¼ tsp salt
For the salad
- 2 ripe mangoes, peeled and diced (about 2 cups)
- 1 head butter lettuce, leaves torn into bite-sized pieces
- 2 medium carrots, peeled and shredded
- ¼ cup fresh cilantro leaves
- 2 tbsp fresh mint leaves, roughly torn

Instructions
- 1
Place the chicken breasts in a medium saucepan and add enough cold water to cover by 1 inch. Add 1 tsp salt and the bay leaves. Bring to a gentle boil over medium-high heat, then reduce the heat to low and simmer, partially covered, for 15–18 minutes, until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part reads 165°F (74°C).

Transfer the chicken to a cutting board and discard the bay leaves and poaching liquid. Let the chicken rest for 10 minutes, then shred or slice into bite-sized pieces.
