# Step-by-step guide:
01 - Blend half of the diced mango with brewed green tea, honey, soy sauce, rice vinegar, sesame oil, minced garlic, grated ginger, salt, and pepper until smooth.
02 - Place chicken breasts in a shallow dish or resealable bag. Pour marinade over chicken, ensuring complete coverage. Refrigerate for at least 20 minutes, or up to 2 hours for enhanced flavor development.
03 - Preheat grill or grill pan to medium-high heat. Remove chicken from marinade and pat dry with paper towels. Grill 6-7 minutes per side until internal temperature reaches 165°F. Rest for 5 minutes, then slice thinly.
04 - While chicken grills, arrange mixed greens, cucumber, carrot, red onion, avocado, and remaining diced mango on a large serving platter or individual plates.
05 - Whisk together olive oil, rice vinegar, lime juice, honey, soy sauce, salt, and pepper in a small bowl until emulsified.
06 - Drizzle dressing over assembled salad ingredients. Top with sliced grilled chicken, toasted sesame seeds, and chopped cilantro.
07 - Serve immediately while chicken is still warm, garnished with additional diced mango if desired.
