Number Of Ingredients 9

1/4 cup(s) fresh lime juice
1 Tbsp olive oil
1/2 tsp table salt, or to taste 1/2 tsp Durkee ground cumin, or other brand
3/4 pound(s) Chicken breast, stewed, without skin, cut into chunks
1 1/4 cup(s) pineapple, fresh, cut into chunks
1 cup(s) jicama, cut into short thin sticks
1/3 cup(s) cilantro, fresh, coarsely chopped
1/4 cup(s) sweet red pepper(s), very thinly sliced
1/4 cup(s) scallion(s), sliced

Steps:

In a large bowl, stir together lime juice, oil, salt and cumin until blended. Add chicken, pineapple, jicama, cilantro, red pepper and scallions; toss to mix and coat. Yields about 1 1/4 cups per serving. Notes If you want to grill fresh chicken for this recipe, heat an outdoor grill or stove-top grill pan. Coat two 6-ounce boneless, skinless chicken breasts with cooking spray and sprinkle them with 1/4 teaspoon of salt. Grill, turning once, until cooked through, about 10 to 12 minutes. Let rest 5 minutes before cutting into chunks. Black beans would make a tasty addition to this recipe (could affect PointsPlus values).
