Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350 F or warm your grill.
Combine marinade ingredients, then coat chicken breasts; place chicken in a baking dish with a little water or on the grill.
Bake chicken for 30 to 40 minutes, or grill and baste with extra marinade, until cooked through.
Once chicken cools, slice it into bite-size pieces.
Stir all dressing ingredients together in a bowl until sugar dissolves, then set aside.
Toast coconut in a dry frying pan over medium heat for 2 to 3 minutes until golden brown and fragrant; transfer to a bowl to cool.
In a large bowl, combine mango, red pepper, cucumber, sprouts, onion, basil, and the sliced chicken.
Pour the dressing over the salad and toss well; add the toasted coconut and nuts, then toss again.
Taste the salad and adjust sweetness with sugar, sourness/saltiness with lime juice, or spice with chili.
Serve the salad immediately.
