Steps

Step 1

Bring a pot of water to a boil.  Add the chicken breast (and an optional bay leaf – I like to add for extra flavor on the chicken).  Simmer and cook for about 15 minutes until the chicken is cooked through and tender.  Once cooked, remove from the water to cool and shred finely with forks.

Step 2

Add all the ingredients to a bowl and mix together!  Season to taste with sea salt & pepper.

Step 3

I love to enjoy mine with toast on whole or multigrain/seed toast, especially for breakfast…

Step 4

or as a hi-protein low-carb dip with bell peppers.

Traditionally,  Venezuelan Reina Pepiada is enjoyed with delicious arepas.
