CHICKEN TAOS



Chicken Taos image

I got this receipe from an old little cook-book that use to belong to my mom. It was called "Man-pleasing Recipes". Anyone remember??? Well this receipe certainly pleased all the men in our family!! My father and 2 brothers just loved this, served with rice, or pasta, but rice was their preference, and a crispy salad on the side. I hope your men will enjoy as much as mine do.

Classic chicken salad is heavy and rich. This refreshing variation is more suitable for summer dining. It tastes delicious over crisp salad greens or in a whole wheat pita.
