Shredded Chicken Salad

Recipe for Shredded Chicken Salad.

This salad is one of our favourites. It’s not your typical salad with some greens, tomatoes and balsamic vinaigrette (although that’s good, too!) – no, this salad has chicken, tomato sauce and lots of spices. It is bursting with Latin flavour!

You could also serve the chicken over rice instead of lettuce – that’s delicious, too!
