Jalapeño Chicken Salad
From Cook's Country
Pickled jalapeño peppers added a bright, spicy flavor and crunchy texture to this Jalapeño Chicken Salad recipe. We discovered cilantro stems have just as much flavor as the leaves, so we didn’t have to be too thorough when picking and chopping the herbs for this recipe. This salad makes good use of leftover chicken or meat from rotisserie chickens sold by many chain restaurants and supermarkets. Any meat can be used, but dark meat tends to be moister.
Makes about 5 cups
Pickled jalapeños can be found in the international aisle at the supermarket, near the taco fixings.
