Your fitness results will flourish when meals like this become a regular part of your life. Servings: 5

Here's what you need:

  • 4 skinless chicken breast, organic and vegetarian fed
  • Bolthouse Farms Tropical Mango Olive Oil Vinaigrette
  • 1 head cabbage, chopped
  • 1 red bell pepper, chopped
  • 1 mango, chopped
  • 1/2 cup pineapple, chopped
  • 1 bunch cilantro, chopped
  • 1/3 cup green onions, chopped


  1. Rinse the chicken breasts and place in a large ziplock bag. Pour in enough of the Mango Vinaigrette to fully cover the chicken. Place in the fridge for at least 4 hours.
  2. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F and grease a pan with coconut oil.
  3. Bake the marinated chicken breasts for 30 minutes until cooked through, then turn on the broiler for 3-5 minutes until deeply golden. Chop and set aside.
  4. In a large bowl combine all of the remaining ingredients along with the chopped chicken. Drizzle a little of the mango vinaigrette and mix well.
