Instructions
Step 1
Start by cooking your chicken breast: in a pot with simmer water cook the chicken with a bit of salt.
Step 2
Meanwhile, chop the walnuts and place them on a pan to toast a little bit. Set them aside.
Step 3
Peel and chop the mango into little strips and tear the mozzarella in small chunks.
Step 4
Once the chicken is cooked, shread it into little pieces and place them on pan with a bit of olive oil. Add salt and pepper to taste and let it fry until golden brown.
Step 5
Let the chicken cool a bit and make your Pesto. In a mortar and pestle add the basil and the salt and pepper. Beat it until everything is incorporated and then add the garlic, half of a lemon squeeze, the walnuts and the parmesan cheese. Grind it all together.
Step 6
Lastly add the olive oil to your Pesto and stir well.
Step 7
Finally assemble your plate: first the arugula, then the mango, mozzarella, chicken, walnuts and pesto. Enjoy it with a ice cold lemonade.
