Description

This is my twist on a recipe I found for the traditional chicken salad but without the mayo! It's best served in a wrap with lettuce and tomato or over your favorite green salad. I have found it's also very easy to make even lighter by using fat-free broth, lite soy sauce, and sugar substitute - none of which affects the taste!

Ingredients
  • 1 lime, zested and juiced
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 1 (10.5 ounce) can chicken broth
  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breast halves
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon anchovy paste
  • ½ teaspoon white sugar
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • freshly ground black pepper to taste
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 3 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro
  • 2 shallots, chopped
Directions
  1. 1. Place the lime peel, soy sauce, and chicken broth in a skillet over medium heat. Place the chicken breasts in the skillet, and bring to a boil. Cover, and simmer until the chicken is fully cooked. Remove from heat, and allow to cool. Shred chicken, and set aside.
  2. 2. In a separate bowl, whisk together lime juice, olive oil, anchovy paste, sugar, salt, and pepper. Stir in garlic, cilantro, shallots, and chicken. Mix well.
