We seasoned and cooked the chicken with a quick-and-easy Mexican spice blend but you can use almost any leftover cooked chicken breast in this recipe. Raw jicama (HEE-kah-ma), a root vegetable also known as a Mexican yam, potato, or turnip, adds a nice crunch to this meal-in-a-bowl. Fresh lime juice and cilantro enhances its slightly sweet, apple-like flavor to pump up this dish’s fresh factor. Sliced or chopped jicama who will keep well in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks. Plan to use it up by adding it to fruit salads, slaws or stir-fries. You can enjoy this dish right away for an easy weeknight dinner or make-ahead for hearty a lunch.
