Ingredients

BBQ Chicken

  • 1 bag vegan chicken I used Gardein Teriyaki Chick'n Strips
  • 1 package taco seasoning
  • 16 oz BBQ sauce - make sure it has no honey or anchovies

Mango Salsa

  • 1 Ripe mango
  • ¼ red onion
  • 1 clove garlic
  • ½ lime juiced
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon coconut sugar
  • cup chopped cilantro 10 or so sprigs
  • handful of chopped cherry tomatoes
  • 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar

To Make Chicken

  • Put Chick'n in a bowl top with a few squeezes of BBQ sauce
  • Sprinkle taco seasoning pack on chick'n and stir everything together
  • Let sit for at least 10 minutes to marinate
  • Cook in a heated pan with a little bit of oil
  • Once you get a sear on each side of the chick'n, add BBQ sauce to coat
  • Let it cook with the sauce for at least 5-10 minutes for the sauce to carmelize slightly

  • Chop up all ingredients and add everything together into a bowl
