Steps

1. 1

   Heat up a grill or grill pan on high heat before cooking.

2. 2

   Lightly coat the chicken breasts with cooking spray, then season with salt and pepper according to your preference. Grill the chicken until it reaches an internal temperature that indicates doneness, approximately 3 minutes on each side. Once cooked, transfer the grilled chicken onto a serving platter and tent it with foil to retain its warmth.

3. 3

   Begin by preheating a large nonstick sauté pan over medium-high heat. Once the pan is hot, coat it with cooking spray and introduce the onion. Season with salt and pepper, then sauté while stirring occasionally until nearly soft, which should take about 5 to 6 minutes. Introduce the jalapeño, tomato, and mango into the pan and continue cooking the salsa while intermittently stirring until it is warmed through, approximately 4 to 5 minutes.
