# Step-by-Step Guide:
01 - Season the chicken breasts with salt and black pepper. Heat vegetable oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the chicken for 4 to 5 minutes per side until golden brown and cooked through. Remove from heat, let rest for 5 minutes, then slice thinly.
02 - In a small bowl, whisk together lime juice, fish sauce, brown sugar, vegetable oil, chopped chili, and minced garlic until the sugar dissolves and the dressing is well combined.
03 - In a large bowl, mix salad greens, mango slices, cucumber, red bell pepper, red onion, carrot, fresh cilantro, and mint leaves.
04 - Add the sliced chicken to the salad bowl and gently toss all ingredients with the lime-chili dressing until evenly coated.
05 - Sprinkle roasted peanuts over the top if using and serve immediately.
