Zesty Lime Chicken Salad


If you love the taste of lime, this is a chicken salad recipe you MUST try.  Remember the other night when I cooked the extra chicken breasts?  Ta-Da!  A few ingredients and about 15 minutes tonight and here's a lovely chicken salad that was great on its own.  But I'm sure it would be especially good in a wrap, a soft warm tortilla or on a soft warm roll.
This recipe can easily be doubled.  I used a mixture of sweet banana peppers, Serrano and mini-yellow bells.  Use whatever kind of peppers you like, just equal about 1/4 cup.
1/2 cup mayo
2 T. Kraft Zesty Lime Vinaigrette
1/2 t. minced garlic
1/4 cup finely chopped peppers (your choice)
2 T. finely chopped onion
Shredded cooked chicken to equal about 3 cups
2 hard boiled eggs, coarsely chopped
2 T. chopped cilantro
1/4 cup finely shredded Mexican blend cheese
salt and pepper to taste
zest and juice of one lime
In a medium bowl, whisk together mayo and vinaigrette.  Stir in next three ingredients until well blended. 
Gently fold in chicken, eggs, cilantro and cheese.
Taste and add salt and pepper to your taste.  Stir in lime zest and juice.
