Instructions

Shredded chicken, diced potatoes, carrots, green peas, diced green beans, diced jicama (if used), sliced white onion, and chopped cilantro should all be combined in a big bowl.

To prepare the dressing, combine the Mexican crema or sour cream, mayonnaise, lime juice, Dijon mustard, salt, and pepper in a separate small bowl.

Over the salad components in the big bowl, drizzle the dressing.

Transfer the salad to a serving dish or individual plates once thoroughly combined and seasoned.

Slices of hard-boiled eggs and crumbled queso fresco or mild feta cheese can be added to the salad as garnish.

Serve the Ensalada de Pollo with warm tortillas for a full meal or a cool and pleasant dish.
