Cilantro, pineapple, and fajita seasoning give fresh flavor to the traditional chicken salad. Serve on slices of whole wheat bread with lettuce and cucumbers.
INGREDIENTS (for 1 servings):
- 4 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves
- 3 eggs
- 1 red apple, diced
- 3 green onions, chopped
- 1/2 cup sweet pickle relish
- 1/2 cup low-fat mayonnaise
- 3 stalks celery, thinly sliced
- 1 (8 ounce) can pineapple chunks, juice reserved
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
- 1/2 cup chopped pecans
- 1/2 teaspoon dry fajita seasoning
- 1 medium cucumber, thinly sliced
- 1 head green leaf lettuce, rinsed
- 24 slices SARA LEE® Soft & Smooth™ Whole Grain White Bread
PREPARATION:
Place eggs in a saucepan and cover with cold water. Bring water to a boil and immediately remove from heat. Cover and let eggs stand in hot water for 10 to 12 minutes. Remove from hot water, cool, peel and slice.
Meanwhile, bring a pot of water to a boil. Add chicken and cook until no longer pink inside, approximately 20 minutes. Drain, cool and chop.
In a large bowl, mix together the chicken, sliced eggs, apple, onions, relish, mayonnaise, celery, pineapple (with just a little juice for flavor), cilantro, pecans and fajita seasoning.
Divide chicken salad equally onto 12 slices of bread. Top with sliced cucumber, and remaining bread slices.
