1 cup coconut milk
1 mango, diced

3. In another bowl, combine mango, avocado, red onion, lime juice, and cilantro. Gently toss and set aside.
4. Grill the marinated chicken on skewers or in a grill pan over medium-high heat for 3-4 minutes per side, until charred and cooked through. Baste with leftover marinade during cooking.

6. Assemble bowls by layering coconut rice, grilled chicken, mango avocado salsa, and a drizzle of chili mayo. Garnish with more cilantro and lime wedges if desired.
Notes
Cook chicken in a cast-iron skillet if you don’t have a grill.
Chill the mango avocado salsa slightly before serving for extra refreshment.
Use low-sodium soy sauce to control salt levels in the marinade.
