## Steps

1. For the mango dressing, blend the mango, garlic, ginger, smoked paprika, chilli flakes, fish sauce, and the zest and juice of the lime until smooth. (2 min)
2. Transfer the dressing to a bowl and mix with the crème fraîche and mayonnaise. Season to taste. (1 min)
3. Beat the eggs in a deep plate with a fork, and tip the panko breadcrumbs into another deep plate. (1 min)
4. Coat the chicken fillets in a mixture of flour, paprika, salt and freshly ground pepper so they are evenly covered. (2 min)
5. Dip the fillets in the beaten eggs, then coat in the panko so the crumb sticks evenly. (2 min)
6. Fry in a pan over medium heat in the oil for about 6 minutes on each side, until the fillets are crisp and golden. (6 min)
7. Check that the chicken is cooked through.
8. Mix the pointed cabbage and kale with a few tablespoons of the mango dressing and massage the cabbage by hand in the bowl for 1-2 minutes, so it wilts slightly and softens. (2 min)
9. Transfer to a large bowl along with the red cabbage. Drizzle with the mango dressing and garnish with the sliced avocado and sliced chicken. (1 min)
10. Sprinkle with cashews, parsley, salt and freshly ground pepper. (2 min)
