CHICKEN, MANGO, AND AVOCADO SALAD
Steps:
- Combine couscous, mint, and cilantro in a bowl. Pour in boiling water. Cover and let stand until couscous is soft, about 5 minutes.
- Place chicken breasts between 2 sheets of heavy plastic on a solid, level surface; pound firmly with the smooth side of a meat mallet to 1-inch thickness. Season both sides with paprika, salt, and pepper.
- Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Cook chicken breasts until no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, about 5 minutes per side. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C). Slice chicken into strips.
- Combine green bell pepper and red bell pepper in the same skillet used to cook the chicken; cook and stir over high heat until blackened in spots, about 5 minutes.
- Spread couscous over the bottom a large serving plate. Top with chicken slices, pepper mixture, mango, avocado, watercress, feta cheese, and yogurt.

Tips:
- To ensure the freshest and tastiest salad, use ripe and flavorful ingredients. Choose ripe avocados that are slightly firm to the touch, mangoes that have a sweet aroma and vibrant color, and plump, juicy chicken breasts.
- To save time, use pre-cooked chicken. You can also grill or bake the chicken breasts ahead of time and store them in the refrigerator for later use.
- To enhance the flavor of the chicken, season it with a flavorful blend of spices and herbs before cooking. Some popular options include paprika, cumin, chili powder, garlic powder, and oregano.
- If you prefer a spicier salad, add a pinch of cayenne pepper or a few chopped jalapeños to the dressing.
- For a more vibrant salad, use a variety of colorful vegetables, such as red onion, bell peppers, and cherry tomatoes.
- To add a crunchy texture, toss in some toasted nuts or seeds, such as almonds, walnuts, or sunflower seeds.
- For a refreshing twist, add a squeeze of lime juice or a dollop of Greek yogurt to the dressing.
