::Recipe:: Cilantro-Lime Jalapeno Chicken Salad

Mornin' chicas!

I know it's early but let's talk lunch.

I don't know about you, but it's hard for me to find something I like

enough to bring numerous times for lunch during the week.

Let me rephrase that-

It's hard for me to find something I like enough to make

me want to stay in the office to eat during my lunch break.

Now don't get me wrong, there are days when I do have to eat at

my desk, but more often than not, I'm outta there.

Trust me, I need it for my sanity.

Anyway, as you know, going out gets expensive so I've been 

trying to think of some healthy/yummy alternatives to eating out. 

I found this recipe on Pinterest months ago and had been wanting to make it.

I finally decided to give it a try for lunch this week and I was not disappointed.

I altered it a little from the original but it still tastes really good!

Ingredients-

- 3 large chicken breasts

- 1 jalapeno, diced

- 4 Tbsp cilantro, coarsely chopped

- 1 lime, juiced

- 1/4 red onion, finely diced

- 1/3 cup mayo (little more if desired)

- 1 Tbsp Dijon mustard

- 1 tsp cumin

- salt and pepper

Directions-

- Season chicken with salt and pepper and poach. (I decided to bake my chicken)

Remove chicken from oven/stove and shred with a fork.

- Once chicken has cooled, add mayo, mustard, cumin, lime juice, salt & pepper and 

incorporate.

- Mix in red onion, jalapeno, and cilantro.

- Cool in fridge for several hours to let flavors absorb

and serve.

I hope you enjoy this as much as I did :)

xoxo.
