CHICKEN, MANGO, AND AVOCADO SALAD
Steps:
- Combine couscous, mint, and cilantro in a bowl. Pour in boiling water. Cover and let stand until couscous is soft, about 5 minutes.
- Place chicken breasts between 2 sheets of heavy plastic on a solid, level surface; pound firmly with the smooth side of a meat mallet to 1-inch thickness. Season both sides with paprika, salt, and pepper.
- Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Cook chicken breasts until no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, about 5 minutes per side. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C). Slice chicken into strips.
- Combine green bell pepper and red bell pepper in the same skillet used to cook the chicken; cook and stir over high heat until blackened in spots, about 5 minutes.
- Spread couscous over the bottom a large serving plate. Top with chicken slices, pepper mixture, mango, avocado, watercress, feta cheese, and yogurt.

Tips:
- Choose ripe mangoes and avocados: Make sure the mangoes are ripe and juicy, and the avocados are ripe and creamy. This will ensure the salad has the best flavor and texture.
- Use a sharp knife: A sharp knife will make it easier to cut the mango and avocado into clean, even pieces.
- Don't overdress the salad: A little bit of dressing goes a long way in this salad. Too much dressing can overwhelm the other flavors.
- Serve the salad immediately: This salad is best served immediately after it's made. The avocado will start to brown if it sits for too long.
