\"Chicken<\/a>If you’ve ever wondered what to do with the chicken meat leftover from cooking bone broth<\/a>, here’s a super delicious way to use it–season the meat and use it on a chicken taco salad.\u00a0\u00a0 Top it with shredded cheese, guacamole, and salsa.\u00a0 The meat left from cooking bone broth is not usually as flavorful as roasted chicken so it needs some kick to improve the flavor.\u00a0 The salsa and guacamole really add a lot of flavor.<\/p>\n

Here’s how I make my chicken taco salad:<\/p>\n

Salad Ingredients<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

chicken meat left from making bone broth
\nfresh salad greens, local farmers market greens if available
\ncucumber, peeled and diced, preferably organic
\nshredded cheddar cheese, raw milk cheese if you can get it
\nguacamole (recipe below)
\nsalsa, homemade or organic jarred (I use medium hot)<\/p>\n

Guacamole Ingredients
\n<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

1 avocado
\n1 small tomato, diced
\nsea salt (Celtic Sea Salt)
\nblack pepper, freshly ground, organic
\nlime<\/p>\n

Prepare the chicken<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Combine the chicken with enough salsa to moisten.\u00a0 I use a toaster oven to heat the chicken until warm, but a saucepan over low heat would work well.<\/p>\n

Make the guacamole<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

While the chicken is heating, peel and remove the seed from the avocado.\u00a0 Scoop out the flesh and mash with a fork.\u00a0 Add the diced tomato (one small tomato per avocado), lime juice (about 1\/3 to 1\/2 of a lime or to taste), sea salt, and freshly ground black pepper.\u00a0 Mix with a spoon.<\/p>\n

Assemble the salad<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Combine the salad greens and cucumber.\u00a0 Top the salad greens with the warm chicken meat, the shredded cheese, then add the guacamole and additional salsa to taste.<\/p>\n

This is one of our favorite ways to use and enjoy the chicken meat from making broth.<\/p>\n
