Spicy Southwest chicken salad with bell peppers, corn, and jalapeno. Perfect in a pita or tortilla.
Ingredients:
  • 1 lemon, thinly sliced
  • 1 bay leaf
  • 1 teaspoon whole black peppercorns
  • 0.75 teaspoon dried thyme, divided
  • 2 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves
  • 0.75 teaspoon paprika
  • 0.33300000429153 cup light mayonnaise
  • 0.25 cup sour cream
  • 0.25 teaspoon coarsely ground black pepper
  • 0.125 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1.5 cups fresh corn, cooked and cut from the cob
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro
  • 0.75 cup diced orange bell pepper
Instructions:
  • In a large skillet, add water until it reaches 1 inch (2.5 cm). Stir in lemon slices, bay leaf, peppercorns, and 2/3 of the thyme. Bring to a boil over high heat. Gently add the chicken, then reduce heat to low and simmer for 15-18 minutes. Turn the chicken once during cooking, until juices run clear and chicken is cooked through. Take the chicken out of the liquid and let it cool.
  • Combine paprika and thyme in a small skillet over medium-low heat for 2 minutes. In a small bowl, whisk together the toasted paprika mixture, mayonnaise, sour cream, salt, pepper, and nutmeg until well combined.
  • Dice the chilled chicken and place it in a medium-sized bowl. Mix in the dressing, corn, cilantro, orange pepper, and jalapeno until everything is well coated. Enjoy warm or chill until serving.
