Instructions
- 1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
- 2. Toss the chicken with 1 tablespoon olive oil, chili powder, cumin, and paprika. Season with salt and pepper.
- 3. Heat a large skillet over medium high heat. Add the chicken and cook 4-5 minutes per side or until cooked through. Remove the chicken from the skillet and shred with 2 forks.
- 4. Add the remaining olive oil to the skillet. When the oil shimmers, add the zucchini and poblano pepper. Cook until the zucchini has caramelized and is soft, about 10 minutes. Remove from the heat and add the shredded chicken, 1/2 cup salsa verde, 1/2 cup mango chunks, and cilantro. Toss to combine.
