Categories     Chicken Breast

Time 35m

Yield 1 1 salad, 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 carrot
2 romaine lettuce hearts, leaves separated
2 celery ribs, thinly sliced
3/4 cup milk
1/3 cup light mayonnaise
2 tablespoons fresh dill, snipped
2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
3 garlic cloves, minced
3 tablespoons louisiana hot sauce
1 1/2 teaspoons honey
4 chicken breasts, boneless, skinless
1/3 cup blue cheese, crumbled

Steps:

  • Preheat barbecue to medium. Peel long ribbons from carrot into a large bowl, turning as you go. Add lettuce leaves and celery. Whisk milk with mayo, dill, vinegar, and garlic in a small bowl. Stir hot sauce with butter and honey in a large bowl. Set both aside.
  • Oil grill, then barbecue chicken, covered, until springy when pressed, six to eight minutes per side. Transfer to a cutting board and slice into 1/2 - inch thick strips. Add to hot-sauce mixture and turn to coat. Drizzle dressing over salad and toss until coated. Top with chicken and cheese.
  • I didn't happen to have romaine, so I used iceberg. Also, no blue cheese, so feta was substituted. We like things hot, so I didn't put the butter or honey in the hot sauce. I used Frank's Red Hot, right out of the bottle.

BUFFALO CHICKEN SANDWICHES

I found this recipe online and made a few changes to suit what I had available. If you have leftover grilled chicken, use it instead of the pre-cooked chicken strips. I like to use homemade blue cheese dressing. These are very sloppy sandwiches so be sure to have lots of napkins or a wet washcloth handy! Enjoy!

Mexican Chicken Salad Sandwich/Pita image

Trying to eat healthy? Throw together this quick and flavorful cold chicken salad-with a Mexican flavor! I served this warm flat bread, folded like a taco, but this would be delicious on bread in traditional sandwich form, or even on top of some dark leafy greens with a drizzle of salsa. Healthy eating everyone!

Time 20m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 13

12 ounces canned chicken breasts (or 1 large cooked chicken breast)
3 ounces shredded cheddar cheese
1 avocado, diced
1/2 medium onion, diced
1 cup corn (frozen or canned)
1 large roma tomato, diced and seeded
4 leaves lettuce, sliced into shreds
3 tablespoons salsa
1/2 lime
salt and pepper
2 teaspoons taco seasoning
1/2 jalapeno, seeded and diced fine
4 flat bread (or 8 bread slices)

Steps:

  • Run your knife through the chicken breast to break up the larger chunks. Place this mixture in a large bowl.
  • Add cheese, onion, corn (thawed, but not heated), tomato, salsa and jalapeño.
  • Drizzle avocado with juice of 1/2 lime, then add avocado to the bowl.
  • Add 1/2 tsp salt, 1/2 tsp pepper and 2 tsp taco seasoning to the bowl, then toss to mix well.
  • Assemble your meal by warming a piece of flat bread, then adding a layer of lettuce shreds before topping with 1/4 mixture. Fold and enjoy taco-style.
  • **These are pretty large, filling serving sizes. If I was serving this with other dishes, I would probably estimate this would serving 5 or 6, depending on how hungry you are.

Categories     Lunch/Snacks

Time 45m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

3 large bone-in chicken breast halves (Could use left over chicken or rotisserie chicken, as well)
salt
pepper
2 tablespoons garlic, minced
8 ounces cream cheese, softened
1/2 cup ranch dressing
3 ounces hot sauce (Texas Pete seems to give the best flavor, but this is up to you)
2 stalks celery, chopped (I run mine through the food processor)

Steps:

  • Salt and pepper your chicken breasts. Boil with 2 tablespoons garlic for 25-30 minutes. Drain and allow to cool. Once cool, pull chicken off the bones and into bite-size pieces.
  • Mix softened cream cheese, ranch dressing, and hot sauce with hand mixer -- this breaks the cream cheese up the best, if you mix without a mixer it will be chunky.
  • Fold chicken and celery into cream cheese mixture and enjoy!
