Ingredients:

  • 1 lb chicken breast, diced
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon chili powder
  • 1 teaspoon cumin
  • 1 teaspoon paprika

  • 1 cup diced mango
  • 1/2 cup diced red onion

Instructions:

  1. In a bowl, combine olive oil, chili powder, cumin, paprika, salt, and pepper. Add the diced chicken and mix well to coat. Marinate for at least 30 minutes.
