Ingredients

• 3 6 oz. boneless skinless chicken breasts
• 2 Tbsp fresh lime juice
• 1 Tbsp extra-virgin olive oil
• 1 Tbsp reduced-sodium soy sauce
• 1 Tbsp minced, peeled fresh ginger
• 6 oz. sugar snap peas, strings removed
• Salt and freshly ground pepper
• 1 medium ripe mango, peeled, pitted, and diced
• 1/2 medium cucumber, peeled, halved lengthwise, seeded and diced
• 1/4 cup chopped fresh mint leaves
• 3 oz. baby argula leaves (~4 handfuls)

Preparation

Step 1

1. In a large skillet, cover chicken in lightly salted water. Bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce heat and simmer until cooked through but still juicy, about 12 minutes. Transfer to a cutting bar and let cool slightly.

2. While chicken in cooking, whisk together lime juice, oil, soy sauce, and ginger in a small bowl. Bring a second saucepan of salted water to a boil. Add snap peas and cook for 30 seconds. Drain in a colander and rinse under cold running water. Drain again.

3. Dice chicken and place in a bowl. Add 2 1/2 Tbsp of dressing and toss. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

4. In a large bowl, toss snap peas, mango, cucumber, mint, and arugula. Serve salad topped with diced chicken.
