Cold South American Chicken Potato Dish

I love the flavor of this simple summer dish. Be careful with the cilantro it is an acquired taste. Wonderful do ahead in the am and assemble it just before dinner. I like to do this dish with leftover roast beef too. It is hearty enough on it's own but i like to serve it with balsamic tomato slices, sweet onion slices, floral carved radishes and a bit of green salad.

Steps

In a saucepan combine the broth , potatoes , lemons , jalapeno peppers and cumin.
Bring to a boil , reduce heat cover and simmer 5 minutes.
Add chicken , keep covered and simmer for 15 minutes or a bit longer.
The chicken should be cooked through and the potatoes tender.
Remove from the heat , add cilantro and allow the chicken and potatoes to cool in the broth.
Save 3 / 4 cup of broth drain remainder , discard the jalapenos , cilantro and lemons.
Shred the chicken into thin strips.
Mound the potatoes in the center of a large platter , cover with the shredded chicken and decorate with the eggs , red pepper strips olives and the 4 green onions.
Serve with leftover broth and your favorite salsa on the side.
