SO FAST. SO EASY.
Ingredients
- Rotisserie Chicken, shredded chicken or raw chicken
- Limes - freshly squeezed, or lime juice iFf you have a bottle
- Chicken Broth (optional if you don't have any available, but strongly encouraged)
- Mrs. Dash Southwest Chipotle Seasoning (SALT FREE!)
- or homemade chipotle seasoning
- Fresh Cilantro, finely chopped
- Salt and Pepper if needed, to taste
Directions
- Combine Chicken broth, couple splashes of lime juice, chopped cilantro, and Southwest Chipotle seasoning into a container - bowl, tupperware, whatever you will marinate your chicken with - and whisk together with a fork or whisk
- you need enough broth and lime juice to coat the chicken, you don't want the chicken swimming in marinade as it can absorb too much liquid and get mushy
- if you are not using chicken broth, do not over compensate with the lime, dilute with water if you need to or rub a small amount in with your hands. Don't make the mistake of using too much citrus!
- Add the chicken and toss, ensuring every piece is coated
- Marinate chicken (cooked or raw) for 20-30 minutes. We all know to marinate raw chicken, BUT its very important to marinate cooked chicken (like rotisserie or shredded) in order to impart much needed moisture and flavor.
It makes a world of difference
- After the 20-30 minutes are up, check on the chicken and transfer to a new bowl/serving dish or drain the excess liquid from the marinating container and close with lid.
