A chicken salad (shredded) with a mexican twist recipe?
Posted by: admin / Category: Mexican Chicken Recipe
Our old roomate used to make a shredded chicken salad (like tuna salad). He used to put cilantro, mayonnaise, corn, avacado and a couple of other ingredients into the mix and I also remember him frying the boiled, shredded chicken with some kind of seasonings. It was sooo goood! Does anybody have a similar recipe to this? I lost contact with him so I have no way of finding out his recipe. no nuts in the recipe please!
1/4 lb. skinned & boned chicken, cooked & diced
1 med. tomato, diced
1/2 c. drained canned whole kernel corn
1/4 c. chopped onions
1/4 c. diced green pepper
3 tbsp. sour cream
1/2 sm. jalapeno pepper, minced
1 tbsp. & 1 tsp. reduced calorie mayonnaise
1 tbsp. chopped cilantro
1 tbsp. lime juice
1/8 tsp. salt
2 c. shredded lettuce
1 corn tortilla, cut in half, toasted
In mixing bowl combine all ingredients except lettuce and tortillas. Line serving plate with lettuce; spoon on chicken mixture in middle. Serve with tortilla. Serves 2. 280 calories per serving.
I would cook the chicken with some taco seasonings to give it a little extra flavor.

Here’s an idea:
2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into chunks and seasoned with kosher salt, fresh ground pepper, garlic powder and cumin
1 small yellow onion, chopped
3 T olive oil
1 4.5 ounce can diced green chili’s
3 T fresh squeezed lime juice
1/2 red bell pepper, seeded and chopped
1/2 cup chopped cilantro
1 avocado, seeded and chopped (squeeze fresh lemon or lime on it to keep it from turning brown)
1 cup sweet yellow corn
1/2 – 1 cup mayonaise
1/2 cup picante sauce or salsa
1 tsp kosher salt
1 tsp cumin
1 tsp chili powder
1/2 tsp coriander
Season chicken and let it sit for at least one hour to marinate. Saute chicken and onion in olive oil until chicken is crispy on the outside and onion is translucent. Mix remaining ingrediants (except for cilantro) in bowl and add chicken. Toss with cilantro. Refrigerate for at least one hour so that flavors can blend.

I would just go to the store and buy a packet of McCormick’s Chicken Taco or Fajita Seasoning, you can also use chipotle seasoning. Any of these would be tasty. I am not sure that you could find the original recipe.
I would put all the ingredients you mentioned, and maybe substitute some of the mayo for sour cream (it makes it light and more mexican style), and add some black beans and tomatoes for color. Lime juice would also be pretty tasty – I would add a little to it too. And add some fresh minced garlic (to the chicken while you cook it), you can’t skip that.
Good luck!
