Fried Pies and Fireflies Pico Chicken Salad with Roasted Jalapeno Lime Mayo

This little recipe creation has been on my mind lately, 

so at midnight, I dove in!  

I have fallen in love with Pico de Gallo...

I adore our Roasted Jalapeno Mayo...

so it was just a matter of time!  

If you love spicy, you're gonna love this twist on chicken salad.  You could also just use regular mayo with 

some squeezed lime juice if spicy is not your thing...

1 lb chicken breasts
Morton's Nature Seasoning or salt and pepper to taste

1 cup Pico de Gallo

1/2 cup green onion, chopped

Mayo Ingredients

1 cup Mayo

2 jalapenos

1/4 cup lime juice

2 cloves garlic, pressed

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. 

Place the chicken breast in your roasting pan 

and sprinkle with seasoning or salt and pepper.

Place the jalapenos in a smaller baking pan 

so that they can cook along with the chicken.

Keep an eye on the jalapenos and turn them every few minutes.  

When the skin has blister marks, remove the jalapenos to cool.

 

Bake the chicken for 1 hour; remove chicken 

to another dish to cool.

When cool, shred the chicken in your food processor.

Pour chicken in a large bowl and add the Pico 

and green onion; set aside.

Make the Mayo

Remove the blistered skin and the seeds 

from the jalapenos and discard.

Place the peppers in your food processor.

Add 1 cup mayonnaise, 2 pressed cloves of garlic 

and the lime juice.

Whirl until mixed thoroughly.

Add the mayo to the chicken salad and mix until well combined.

Refrigerate until cool.  

Serve on croissants for sandwiches or as a dip for tortilla chips.
