  • Combine coconut milk, rice and 1/4 teaspoon salt in a medium saucepan. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Reduce heat to maintain a simmer, cover and cook until the rice is tender and the liquid is absorbed, about 45 minutes.

  • Meanwhile, combine 1 tablespoon oil, chili powder, garlic and 1/4 teaspoon salt in a small bowl. Place chicken on a rimmed baking sheet and rub with the spice mixture. Bake, flipping once, until an instant-read thermometer inserted in the thickest part registers 165 degrees F, about 20 minutes. Let rest for 15 minutes, then slice or chop.

  • Combine mango, bell pepper, onion, cilantro, lime juice and the remaining 1 tablespoon oil and 1/4 teaspoon salt in a medium bowl. Serve the chicken and salsa with the rice.

Tips

To Make Ahead: Refrigerate for up to 4 days.

Tip: The classic green-and-red-skinned Tommy Atkins mango is available year-round, but in the U.S., spring and summer is peak season for most other varieties. For a sweet mango with no fibers, try a golden Champagne (aka Ataulfo or Honey), which are at their best in May.
