Ingredients

  • 1 Lb Boneless Skinless Chicken Breast*, (cooked & chopped)
  • 1/3 Cup Mayonnaise
  • Juice of 1 Small Lime (approx 2 TB)
  • 1/2 Cup Chopped Fresh Cilantro
  • 1/4 Cup Finely Chopped Red Onion
  • 1 teaspoon Garlic Powder
  • 1 teaspoon Onion Powder
  • Salt/Pepper To Taste

Instructions

  • Mix all ingredients until fully combined.
  • Serve over salad or rice. Also makes great wraps and sandwiches.

Notes

*My preferred method: Preheat oven to 450ºF. Coat chicken breasts with olive oil, salt and pepper then transfer to a roasting dish. Roast for 25-30 minutes or until 165ºF internal temperature. (time will vary depending on thickness of chicken) Let cool then chop or shred chicken.
**Optional Add-Ins: Lime Zest (for extra lime flavor), chopped celery, cumin and/or chili powder.
