Delicious Salad Recipe: Sriracha, Lime And Chopped Chicken

If you’re looking to freshen up your weekly salad routine, you need to try this healthy and delicious Chopped Sriracha Lime and Chicken Salad. The entire recipe uses fresh ingredients, so you know it has less sodium and fat than something processed and pre-packaged.

If you live in a small apartment, you don’t need a grill to make this taste great—simply whip out your handy George Foreman or cast iron grill pan to get the seared effect. My husband and I personally LOVE this 10″ cast iron grill pan—it perfectly fits a pair of chicken breasts, steaks or pork chops. Sear your meat for a few minutes on each side and pop in the oven to finish).

Anyway, back to this scrumptious chicken salad. Follow the simple and easy recipe below for a salad that you’ll want to make every week.
