Separate but equal??


I wanted to share a great recipe that I made at work today with some left over cooked chicken. This is NOT a kid friendly meal, at least I know my kids are not quite ready for cilantro, but your may, so give it a try, you never know...

Anyhow, here it is. You can use any left over cooked chicken

2 C. cooked chicken
1/2 bunch cilantro- chopped
juice from 1 lime
1/2 diced red pepper
2 stalks diced celery
2 stalks diced scallion
1 C. dried cranberries
1 C. toasted slivered almonds
2 tsp. rice wine vinegar
2 tsp. soy sauce
1 tsp. fish sauce (available at any Asian grocery store)
1 tsp. sesame oil
pinch of toasted sesame seeds

Process the chicken in a Cuisinart for 30 seconds or until chicken is finely chopped, but NOT pureed. In a bowl, combine all ingredients and stir until everything has been combined. Can be eaten immediately or kept in the fridge until ready to eat. I am eating over a salad and with some crackers.

The kids are getting pasta and peas!
