Total time: 20 mins

Yield: 4-6 servings

Ingredients

• 1 cup mayonnaise
• 4 mild or hot Hatch Chiles, roasted, peeled, and seeded
• 1 lime, juice only
• 1 clove garlic
• 1 store-bought rotisserie chicken
• 1 bunch green onions, chopped
• salt and freshly ground pepper to taste

Instructions

Puree the mayonnaise, Hatch chiles, lime juice, and garlic in a blender or food processor until smooth. Pull the chicken meat off the bones, shredding it with your fingers. Discard the bones and skin (or save them to make chicken stock). Put the chicken meat in a large bowl with the green onions. Spoon the Hatch chile mayonnaise into the bowl and stir to combine. Add salt and freshly ground pepper to taste. Serve chilled. If you have time to let the chicken salad sit in the refrigerator for a few hours before serving, great – the flavors will mingle and intensify.
