Chicken Arepa with Tomato-Onion Salsa
Uses: arepa, chicken breast, tomato, Spanish onion, jalapeño
Ingredients:
- 1 small arepa
- 3 ounces cooked chicken breast, sliced or shredded
- 1/2 tomato, diced
- 1 tablespoon finely diced Spanish onion
- 1 teaspoon finely diced jalapeño, seeds removed
- 1 teaspoon vinegar
- Black pepper
- Small amount of salt
Instructions:
- Warm the arepa according to package directions until hot and lightly crisp.
- In a small bowl, combine tomato, onion, jalapeño, vinegar, black pepper, and a small amount of salt. Let stand for 5 minutes so the flavors blend.
- Warm the chicken gently in a skillet with 1 tablespoon water and a pinch of cumin or paprika.
- Split the arepa to make a pocket. Fill with warm chicken and spoon the fresh tomato-onion salsa inside.
Good for: A bright Latin-inspired lunch with warm chicken and a fresh, lightly spicy salsa tucked into an arepa.
Optional: Add shredded cheese inside the warm arepa before the chicken.
