Happy Cinco De Mayo everyone! I made this recipe with a homemade mayo recipe that I slightly altered. I left out the dijonnaise and substituted the juice of one lemon for the juice of four limes. I used three bone-in skin-on chicken breasts that were non-GMO and on sale at Whole Foods and had a ton of leftover shredded chicken. You can use it for leftovers, or just cook two instead. I think bone and skin add flavor, so if you don’t mind a little mess when shredding your chicken, I’d avoid boneless skinless chicken breast.

It looks just delicious! We made your taco salad recipe for dinner tonight!
Thanks! I hope your taco salad tastes delicious too.
You may want to edit your “Prep Time” on this. I rather doubt that 45 *hours* is accurate. Sounds yummy, though! 🙂
Thank you! I will 🙂
Sounds delicious and easy – I’m going to try it this weekend.
The prep time can be cut to nothing if your supermarket sells the chicken breasts all cut and pre shredded.
The ShopRite by me has this ready made in the cases by the deli counter, from their Caribbean grill fresh dinners section.
Love it!
That would definitely cut down on the prep time 🙂 I hope you have a lovely labor day weekend!!!
