Ingredients
Scale
2 cups of cooked chicken breast, shredded
2 jalapeños, finely chopped
½ cup of red onion, diced
1 cucumber, diced
¼ cup of cilantro, chopped
2 tablespoons of lime juice
½ cup of Greek yogurt
1 tablespoon of olive oil
Salt to taste
Black pepper to taste
Instructions
Step 1: Begin by shredding your cooked chicken breast. You can use leftover chicken or rotisserie chicken to save even more time. Make sure you have about 2 cups of shredded chicken for the perfect balance.
Step 2: Finely chop the jalapeños, red onion, and cucumber. For less heat, be sure to remove the seeds from the jalapeños. You want to create a colorful medley that will add both flavor and visual appeal to your dish.
Step 3: In a large mixing bowl, combine the shredded chicken, chopped jalapeños, red onion, cucumber, and cilantro. Stir gently so the ingredients blend well without mashing any of the vegetables.
Step 4: In a separate bowl, whisk together the lime juice, Greek yogurt, olive oil, salt, and black pepper. This creamy dressing will tie all the flavors together beautifully.
Step 5: Pour the dressing over the chicken and vegetable mixture. Toss everything together until the salad is evenly coated. Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary.
Step 6: If you have time, allow the salad to chill in the refrigerator for 30 minutes. This enhances the flavors, making it even more delicious!
