Chinese Five Spice Chicken Salad image

This recipe was inspired by a meal that I had at a locally owned cafe. Their chicken salad had that distinctive five spice flavor. This is my adaptation with a bit more kick and colorful diced vegetables.

Time 20m

Yield 6-8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 1/2 lbs baked chicken (roughly one rotisserie chicken boned, skinned & diced)
5 scallions, chopped finely
1 red pepper, finely diced
3 celery ribs, finely diced
2/3 cup sour cream
2/3 cup mayonnaise
1 teaspoon kosher salt
3/4 teaspoon black pepper
2 teaspoons Chinese five spice powder
1/2 teaspoon cayenne powder
2 tablespoons lime juice

Steps:

  • Debone rotisserie chicken & cut into roughly 1/2" pieces.
  • Finely dice all of the vegetables.
  • Combine chicken & vegetables in a large mixing bowl. Add salt, all spices & lime juice. Mix with a large spoon to combine well. This is best when allowed to sit overnight for the flavors to combine.
  • Serve on baguette slices, pita chips or crackers. If your diet low carb like mine, this is lovely on tomato slices.
