Combine coconut milk, rice and 1/4 teaspoon salt in a medium saucepan. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Reduce heat to maintain a simmer, cover and cook until the rice is tender and the liquid is absorbed, about 45 minutes. Meanwhile, combine 1 tablespoon oil, chili powder, garlic and 1/4 teaspoon salt in a small bowl. Place chicken on a rimmed baking sheet and rub with the spice mixture. Bake, flipping once, until an instant-read thermometer inserted in the thickest part registers 165 degrees F, about 20 minutes. Let rest for 15 minutes, then slice or chop. Combine mango, bell pepper, onion, cilantro, lime juice and the remaining 1 tablespoon oil and 1/4 teaspoon salt in a medium bowl. Serve the chicken and salsa with the rice. Tips To Make Ahead: Refrigerate for up to 4 days. Tip: The classic green-and-red-skinned Tommy Atkins mango is available year-round, but in the U.S., spring and summer is peak season for most other varieties. For a sweet mango with no fibers, try a golden Champagne (aka Ataulfo or Honey), which are at their best in May.
