This was a winning recipe in Home Cooking magazine, and after tasting, you will see why. The creaminess of the dressing perfectly compliments the spice of the jalapenos. I adapted this a little and my family loves it! It's delicious on a bed of fresh greens, or rolled into a tortilla. This is also a hit served in a bowl with cornbread crackers to use as dippers. NOTE: The 20 minute prep time does NOT include the time it takes to cook the chicken.

2/3 cup salad dressing
1 -1 1/2 tablespoon lime juice
