  • 2 small yellow potatoes diced in small cubes
  • 1 ½ cups frozen mixed vegetables carrots, peas, green beans

Instructions
 

  • Cook the ChickenIn a medium pot, add the chicken breasts, ¼ onion, a generous pinch of salt, and enough water to cover. Boil until fully cooked (about 20–25 minutes). Remove the chicken and let cool slightly. Shred using two forks or a hand mixer. Reserve the broth!
  • Cook the Potatoes and VeggiesIn the same broth, add diced potatoes and boil until just tender (about 8–10 minutes). Add the frozen vegetable mix and cook for another 5 minutes until heated through. Drain and let cool slightly.
  • Combine Salad IngredientsIn a large bowl, mix the shredded chicken, cooked potatoes and veggies, and finely chopped lettuce.
  • Make the DressingIn a small bowl, whisk together mayo, sour cream, pickled jalapeño juice, salt, and pepper. Taste and adjust to your liking.
  • Toss and ServePour the dressing over the chicken mixture and toss until everything is evenly coated. Chill for 30 minutes if you have time—or serve right away!
