Jalapeño Lime Chicken Salad

Ingredients

• 1.25 lb poached chicken (shredded; rotisserie chicken can be used for speed)
• 4 scallions (thinly sliced)
• 1 jalapeño (thinly sliced or diced)
• 0.25 cup fresh cilantro (chopped)
• 2 tbsp fresh mint (chopped)
• 0.75 cup Greek yogurt
• 0.25 cup mayonnaise
• 1 lime juice (juice of 1 lime)
• 0.75 tsp fine sea salt

Steps

1. 1

   In a large bowl, add the shredded chicken, sliced scallions, diced jalapeño, cilantro, and mint.

2. 2

   Toss all dry ingredients until evenly distributed.

3. 3

   Stir in the Greek yogurt, mayonnaise, lime juice, and sea salt into the bowl.

4. 4

   Mix again until the salad is creamy and the chicken is thoroughly coated with the dressing.

5. 5

   Serve immediately with crackers, in lettuce wraps, as a sandwich, or enjoy it straight with a spoon.

Notes

Pro-tip: Dice the jalapeño very finely if you want the heat distributed evenly in every bite. Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
