Chinese Chicken & Mango Salad

Nice light meal. The salad in this recipe was really yummy. The chicken was good too, but could of used a bit more flavour. If I made this again, I'd probably marinade the chicken in 2t honey, 2T vinegar, 4T soya, 5 spice & garlic for an hour before cooking.

I'm trying to eat less carbs atm but I didn't want mah boy to starve so I made him some fresh bread. Using the 'french' setting on the bread maker. It was good... apparently tasting a bit like scones.
