  • 1 lb chicken breasts shredded or diced
  • 2 medium potatoes
  • 3 tbsp pickled jalapenos optional

  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • 1 tsp dijon mustard
  • 1 tsp vinegar
  • 1/2 cup peas and carrots
  • 1/2 cup corn

Instructions

  • Trim and remove any excess fat from the chicken and then place it in a pot with water and salt. Cook for 10 minutes or until the chicken is fully cooked through. Once the chicken is done cooking, shred it using two forks or dice it.
