Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams Baby red potatoes
- 300 grams Boneless, skinless chicken breast
- 3 tablespoons Low-fat mayonnaise
- 2 tablespoons Fresh lime juice
- 1 teaspoon Low-sodium soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon Fresh ginger, grated
- 1 clove Garlic, minced
- 1 cup Cucumber, diced
- 1 cup Red bell pepper, diced
- 2 Scallions, finely sliced
- 2 tablespoons Fresh cilantro, chopped
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
Place the baby red potatoes in a large pot of salted water. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat and cook until the potatoes are fork-tender, about 15 minutes. Drain and allow to cool slightly.
While the potatoes cook, season the chicken breast with a pinch of salt and pepper. Heat a nonstick skillet over medium heat and cook the chicken for 5-7 minutes per side or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C). Set aside to cool, then dice into bite-sized pieces.
In a small bowl, whisk together the low-fat mayonnaise, lime juice, soy sauce, grated ginger, and minced garlic to create the dressing.
Once the potatoes are cool enough to handle, cut them into quarters (or smaller pieces if desired).
In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked potatoes, diced chicken, diced cucumber, diced red bell pepper, scallions, and chopped cilantro.
Pour the dressing over the salad and toss gently to coat all the ingredients evenly.
Season with salt and black pepper to taste.
Chill the salad in the refrigerator for at least 15 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld.
Serve cold or at room temperature. Enjoy your light and refreshing Pacific Rim Potato Chicken Salad!
