Mango Salsa

I needed a pick me up and was missing summer already, so what better way to cheer myself up than with food that reminds me of summer :). I did baked chicken breasts with a mango salsa topping and yellow rice.

Season and bake the chicken normally, then add the salsa when you're ready to eat.
Mango Salsa:
1 diced mango
1/2 diced red bell pepper
2 tablespoons diced red onion
1 tablespoon diced cilantro
1 diced jalapeno pepper
2 tablespoons lime juice
1 tablespoon lemon juice
salt and pepper to taste

I let it marinate in the fridge for a couple of hours, the first time I made this I let it sit overnight.  I don't think it really matters.

I was sipping on my version of a Caipirinha while I chopped away lol.  I could never pronounce this drink.  I found the pronunciation online and still can't say it: Kai-Pea-Ree-Nee-Ah.  Instead of Cachaca (brazilian alcohol) I used Malibu coconut rum.  Taste just as good, maybe even better.  The first time I had this drink, I was in the Bahamas with my girls. Mmmmm took me back to good times :).

In case you want to know, here's what it's made of:
1 lime cut into cubes
1 1/2 tablespoons of sugar (I used brown sugar)
6 tablespoons of Cachaca (in my case Malibu)
crushed ice
1/4 cup seltzer

Add the lime and sugar first and use something to kind of pulverize them together until it creates a juice.  Then you add everything else and mix.

I had left over salsa, so I did baked tilapia the following day and invited my friend over. She loved it :).
