CILANTRO-LIME JALAPENO CHICKEN SALAD RECIPE - (4.1/5)

Steps:
- Season chicken with salt and pepper and *poach. Remove chicken from liquid and shred with a fork. Once chicken has cooled add mayo, Dijon, cumin, lime juice, salt and pepper and incorporate. Add more mayo and lime if necessary. Mix in red onion, jalapeño and cilantro. Cool in fridge for several hours to let flavors merge and serve with avocado or for a sandwich on French bread with a slice of provolone. *To Poach - In a medium pot add chicken breasts to the poaching liquid. The chicken should be completely immersed. Bring to a boil and then immediately reduce heat and partially cover. Reduce heat to a simmer for 10 minutes (be sure to just simmer and not boil....and no longer than 10 minutes since you don't want the chicken to turn "rubbery"). Remove from heat and let chicken remain in the liquid for about 15 minutes. Reserve the liquid for future use.
Tips:
- Use a food processor to quickly and easily chop the jalapeños, garlic, and cilantro. - If you don't have a food processor, you can finely chop the ingredients by hand. - Be sure to remove the seeds from the jalapeños before chopping them, as this will help to reduce the heat of the dish. - If you like your chicken extra crispy, you can cook it for a few minutes longer per side. - Serve the chicken with your favorite sides, such as rice, beans, or vegetables.Conclusion:
This flavorful and easy-to-make Jalapeno Lime Chicken is sure to be a hit with your family and friends. The combination of zesty lime, spicy jalapeños, and aromatic cilantro creates a delicious and memorable dish. You can adjust the amount of jalapeños you use to suit your own taste preferences, and you can also add other ingredients, such as bell peppers or onions, to make it your own. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy weeknight meal, give this Jalapeno Lime Chicken a try. You won't be disappointed!
