Ingredients

  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 can (15 oz) butter beans, drained and rinsed
  • 1 large mango, diced
  • 1/4 cup red onion, finely chopped
  • 1 red bell pepper, diced
  • 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro or parsley, chopped
  • 2 tablespoons lime juice
  • 1 jalapeño, seeded and minced (optional)

Instructions

  1. Season chicken on both sides with salt, pepper, smoked paprika, and garlic powder.
  2. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
  3. Add chicken and cook for 5–6 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through (165°F internal temperature). Remove from skillet and keep warm.
  4. In the same skillet, add butter beans and cook for 2–3 minutes until heated, scraping up any browned bits.

  6. Return chicken to the skillet with the beans.
  7. Spoon mango salsa over chicken and serve immediately.

Notes

Swap mango for pineapple or peach for a different fruity twist.Use cannellini beans or chickpeas instead of butter beans.Add avocado to the salsa for creaminess.Marinate chicken in lime juice and spices for extra flavor.Grill chicken instead of pan-searing for a smoky taste.
