Mango Barbecue Chicken with Mango Salsa and Rice

(226)
"Mango BBQ chicken is what’s for dinner tonight🔥 I love making a homemade salsa and adding it to protein bowls. Tonight’s salsa includes cubed avocado, mango, blood orange, red onion, cilantro, jalapeño, salt and pepper. I paired it with jasmine rice and organic grilled chicken marinated in BBQ sauce. Super easy and packed with flavor👌🏼"

A Note from Feedfeed

This sweet and savory rice bowl comes together quickly thanks to the addition of chicken basted in barbecue sauce, Jasmine rice, and spicy and sweet mango salsa. To enhance the salsa flavor, prepare it ahead of time.
