If you have any left over chicken, this is the salad to make. I love it in a pita half with lots of fresh cilantro. But, it's also a great canape topping for a party. Ingredients:
1/4 cup fresh lime juice |
1 teaspoon salt |
1/2 teaspoon chili powder |
1/4 cup finely chopped fresh cilantro |
1/4 cup finely chopped fresh mint leaves |
1 pinch sugar |
2 poached whole boneless skinless chicken breasts, minced (about 1 1/4 pounds or use about 3 cups of any left over chicken) |
1/3 cup finely chopped shallot |
1/3 cup thinly sliced scallion |
1/4 cup mayonnaise, to taste |
Directions:
1. In a large bowl whisk together the lime juice, the salt, the chili powder, the fresh cilantro, the mint, and the sugar.
2. Stir in the chicken, the shallot, and the scallion, and then the mayonnaise.
3. The chicken salad may be made 1 day in advance and kept overed and chilled.
4. Serve in pita halves with cilantro or as a canape topping on crispy toast rounds.
