Instructions
Wash produce before use
1
Cook the chicken
While the chicken cooks and cools, start the chile verde.
2
Prep the onion; cook the chile verde
- Peel and coarsely chop enough onion to measure 1 cup [2 cups].
Add the shredded chicken and continue simmering until the mixture is the consistency of a thick stew, 2 to 4 minutes. Remove from the heat and season to taste with salt, if desired, and pepper.
While the chile verde cooks, prepare the cucumber salad.
3
Make the cucumber salad
- Peel the cucumber, if desired, and trim the ends; cut the cucumber in half lengthwise. Cut the halves lengthwise into ½-inch-thick slices, then crosswise into enough ½-inch pieces to measure 3 cups [6 cups].
- Zest the lime and juice half, keeping the zest and juice separate; cut half into wedges for garnish. [Zest both limes. Juice 1 lime; cut 1 lime into wedges.]
- Coarsely chop the cilantro; set aside half for garnish.
