For an extra layer of flavor, try grilling the chicken before shredding it. The smoky notes add a wonderful depth to the salad. If you don't have fresh mango on hand, canned mango chunks (drained well) can be substituted. Toasting the raisins slightly before adding them enhances their sweetness and texture. Serve this salad on croissants, lettuce wraps, or with your favorite crackers.

Follow The Directions
01
Step
1 hrs
In a large pot, place the chicken and cover with water. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to medium and simmer until the chicken is cooked through. Check for doneness: the juices should run clear when pierced, and an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the thigh should register 180 degrees F (82 degrees C). This typically takes about 1 hour.
02
Step
15 mins
Transfer the cooked chicken to a cutting board. Using two forks, shred the chicken meat, discarding the skin and bones. Spread the shredded chicken in a single layer on a plate and refrigerate until completely cooled, approximately 15 minutes.
03
Step
5 mins
In a large bowl, whisk together the salad dressing and sugar until well combined.
04
Step
2 mins
Add the cooled shredded chicken and raisins to the salad dressing mixture, stirring to coat.
05
Step
3 mins
Gently fold in the diced mango, being careful not to mash the fruit.
06
Step
8 hrs
Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 8 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow the flavors to meld.
