Jalapeno Chicken Salad

LARavenscroft's Note:

Since I have a wheat allergy (and many others), I spend a lot of time on some low carb websites, looking for wheat-free ideas for lunch. I found this recipe on Miz. Frog's Pad. It's a nice change from regular chicken salad. I've changed the number of servings to 3 instead of 2 because it was a lot to eat. The cook time is the chill time.

• Total Time: 1 hrs 10 mins
• Prep Time: 10 mins
• Cook Time: 1 hrs

Ingredients:

Servings: 3

• 1/3 cup celery, diced
• 1/4 cup green onion, sliced
• 1/4 cup low-fat mayonnaise
• 1 tablespoon dried parsley
• 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
• 1 pickled jalapeno pepper, seeded and chopped fine
• 1 (2 ounce) jar diced pimentos
• 12 ounces cooked chicken breasts

Directions:

1. Combine all ingredients except chicken in a bowl and mix well.
2. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
3. Stir in chicken.
4. Cover and chill before serving.
5. Serve over mixed greens.

Yummy chicken salad, with a nice little taste of spice from the jalapenos. I halved the recipe but left the jalapeno as described. Made a great chicken salad. Made for Potluck tag!

Wow! We need more stars!!! This has such a great kick to it. Love the jalapeno's and the crunch of the celery. This has a nice presentation and I would be happy to serve it to my guest. I cooked some extra chicken from my recipe Ww Jalapeno Chicken to use in this dish. DH loved this and he hates chicken and salad. I will be making this again and again. Thanks for posting. :)

the flavors blended well but needed some amount adjustments, I also added in garlic powder, seasoned salt and fresh ground black pepper, allowed it to chill overnight, great recipe thanks LA!
