BBQ Chicken Bowls with Mango Salsa

These bowls have a few different components that can be prepped ahead of time to make the bowls come together quickly. The chicken breasts can be cooked in an Instant Pot or on the stovetop. I used Good Food For Good BBQ sauce, but feel free to use whatever sauce you prefer. These bowls make a great dish for meal prep because you can repurpose the ingredients into something else if you have any leftovers. Topping the bowls with mango salsa is the perfect addition and adds a bright, sweet layer to the bowls.
