Chicken/mango/avocado salad with blackberry dressing: contributed by Nicole Drexel

2 boneless skinless chicken breasts (straight from freezer okay)
~ 16 oz water
ripe avocado diced
ripe mango diced
ripe Asian pear diced
2 green onions diced
3 cups salad greens (mixed is best)
2 large mushrooms
1 c snap peas
red pepper
1 tbsp sunflower seeds or almonds

Put chicken breasts in a small frying pan with 6-8 oz of water, put lid on pan and on medium heat allow chicken to steam cook. Begin preparing the salad and dressing (see recipe below). Check chicken in 3-5 minutes, flip and add more water and a dash of kosher salt on each chicken breast. Cover and allow to cook until chicken is done. You want all the water to evaporate at the end so the chicken gets a nice light browning, but don’t let it burn. If the chicken is not finished cooking but the water has evaporated, always add more water. Finish salad and dressing. When chicken is finished cube and serve on salad. Use as much dressing as you'd like, it's very low in calories and fat.
