Top tip(s)
Make sure you use a different chopping board and knife for the chicken and the mango.
If you don’t have access to a hob or grill, use pre-cooked chicken pieces. Alternatively, wrap each chicken breast in foil and roast in the oven until cooked before dicing.
Make sure the mangoes are ripe, otherwise they are hard and are difficult to peel and de-stone.
