    This is another one of the recipes from the current issue of Cooking Light. It looked like a nice, quick and fresh meal to put together on a busy day, and it was! I ended up not having enough chicken in the freezer, so I picked up some chicken tenders from the store - that way I didn't even have to bother cutting them up and skewering them. I really liked the flavor of the lime zest directly on the chicken, and there was just enough garlic and chili powder to make it interesting. The mangoes and bell peppers went were the perfect addition on the side. I also sautéed some frozen potato and onion pierogis, and topped them with a dollop of sour cream. It was a very good meal, and pretty easy to pull off on a busy day!
