chicken salad remixxxxxxxxx

2 things: pinterest is amazinggggggg.  great way to see a billion things on the internet at one time.  and great way to organize all your interests.  caution: very addicting, and you will feel like youre being overly productive when really youre just browsing the internet as usual.

and two, i found this great recipe through pinterest for a mexican-style chicken salad. if you like chicken salad, this is a great alternative to the regular preparation.   

(sorry chicken salad never looks that

appealing but i swear its great)

  recipe follows:


 1. to make life easy, i bought a rotisserie chicken instead of making it myself.  since i was just making a couple portions, i only used half of the chicken.  if you dont have a rotisserie chicken, just make one or two chicken breasts.  after its cooked shred/chop it up.

2. dice 1/4 to 1/2 of a red onion into small pieces. dice half of a large jalapeno or a whole small one into tiny pieces.  chop up a bunch of fresh cilantro--about a small handful. put it all into a bowl with the chicken.

3. add about 1/3 cup sour cream (i use this instead of mayo). add a couple squeezes of dijon mustard--about half a teaspoon. and lastly squeeze at least half the juice of a lime into the mix.  stir all ingredients together.  add salt, cracked pepper and a couple dashes of garlic powder.

4. its delicious. if you have it you might want to add about a half cup of corn for some added sweetness.

5. enjoy!
