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.
