Cilantro-Lime Jalapeno Chicken Salad Recipe - (4.1/5) image

Provided by jadedrosie

Number Of Ingredients 11

3 large chicken breasts
poaching liquid (chicken stock, water, carrots, celery, onion, thyme, bay leaf, peppercorns)
1 jalapeño diced (with seeds scraped out)
4 Tbs cilantro coarsely chopped
1 lime, juiced
1/4 red onion diced fine
1/3 cup mayo (plus a little more if needed)
1 Tbs Dijon mustard
1 tsp cumin
salt and pepper
2 ripe avocados (or for a sandwich good French or Italian bread)

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.

This chicken salad is delicious! It's the perfect balance of flavors. The chicken is tender and juicy, and the dressing is creamy and flavorful. I love the addition of the cilantro and lime. They really give the dish a nice fresh flavor.

This chicken salad is a bit too spicy for my taste. I think next time I make it, I'll use less jalapeno. Otherwise, it's a great recipe. The chicken is cooked perfectly and the dressing is very flavorful.

This chicken salad is good, but I found it to be a bit too bland for my taste. I would have liked it to have more of a kick. I think next time I make it, I'll add some more jalapeno and maybe some cayenne pepper.
