Recipes Notes:
-This fiesta chicken salad is perfect for pita pockets, ciabatta buns, or wraps. Its also a great addition topped on salad greens if you’re watching your carb intake.
For any of you looking for a meatless option, try subbing taco seasoned baked tempeh!
*I’ve found the quickest and easiest way to get perfectly cooked chicken breast for shredding is boiling the chicken breast in water for about 10-12 minutes. Check for any pinkness in the middle after 8 minutes, and continue boiling for 2 minute increments until the internal temperature of the chicken reaches 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
*additional add-ins could be to your liking, such as: jalapenos, bell peppers, shredded cheese, or avocado if serving immediately.
* I like mine best with homemade guacamole!
*Nutrition count is based on 10 servings, without addition of bread option.
