With all my talk about a New Year\u2019s resolution, I inspired my wife to start her own resolution for 2016. Although hers isn\u2019t nearly as extreme as mine (she wants to get healthier, just like I do), I\u2019ve pledged to help her stick to her goal all year long, starting with this healthy and delicious recipe for Stacked Jicama Chicken Salad<\/a>.<\/p>\n

And, by the way, this recipe is proof that eating healthy can also taste amazing. Don\u2019t believe me? Go ahead and try this recipe. I did, and you can bet your last wedge I\u2019ll be cooking it up a few more times in 2016.<\/p>\n

If you\u2019re not indigenous to Peru or Ecuador (I\u2019m not, either), you may not be familiar with the jicama. Pronounced hee-ka-mah, this bean is common in subtropical, warm climates. It\u2019s usually enjoyed in salads, fruit bars and soups. High in antioxidants and dietary fiber, the jicama is part of what makes this recipe so good and so nutritious.<\/p>\n

STACKED JICAMA CHICKEN SALAD\u00a0\"2\"<\/p>\n
