Southwestern Chicken Salad Recipe

Recipesfull introduces to you: Popular Recipes. (Southwestern Chicken Salad Recipe). A wonderful blend of spices, herbs, and a bit of a \"bite\" from the jalapeno combine so well with the chicken and corn in this salad. One of my favorites! If you can't get fresh corn, you may substitute frozen corn.
