ONE PAN MANGO TERIYAKI CHICKEN & VEGGIES {WHOLE 30 + PALEO}

This recipe had me at the words: ONE PAN. Virtually no clean-up is all this mama needed to hear. The mango really adds to the flavor of the chicken and veggies, even the next day. This vegetable-loaded recipe was even a crowd-pleaser for the toddlers in my house. All of you January Whole30-ers, this one's for you.
