Chicken Salad Sandwich



I have never been a fan of chicken salad, but this recipe changed my mind. The marinade for this recipe is fantastic just by its self. The chicken has an amazing flavor as you add the mayo and butter. When adding the cashews, make sure you do it just before you serve it. I love it on fresh croissants, but any bread will work. Serve with fresh fruit for a yummy summer meal!






Chicken Salad Sandwich

Marinade:
1/3 cup Zesty Italian Dressing
2/3 cup soy sauce

Marinate 1-3 hours or 30 minutes to 3-4 hours. The longer you marinate, the better the chicken will taste. I like to marinate overnight.

Recipe:
4 chicken breasts
2 stalks thinly sliced celery
4 green onions, sliced
1/8 cup melted butter, be sure to use real butter
1 cup mayonnaise
1/4 teaspoon pepper
1/2 cup cashews{ to be added just before serving}

Grill the chicken 10 minutes per side and then dice it into 1/4 inch pieces . Cool to room temperature, mix with above ingredients. Refrigerate until ready, add cashews when ready to serve.

Bakery style Strawberry Muffins

New recipe! Can you even believe it?! Kirsti and I decided we need to get back in the habit of sharing our favorite recipes by sharing at least one a month so here you go:   I’m starting off with these scrumptious strawberry muffins. Extra large and fluffy, these muffins are bursting with strawberry bits and topped with the most delicious strawberry glaze. If you end up with extra glaze, go ahead and drizzle some extra.  No judgement here :)   Even if you already love the previous strawberry muffins on our blog, you need to try these- they are the only ones I'll be making from here on out.  They're that good!

Asian Chicken Lettuce Wraps

I am always looking for fast, easy and nutritious meals for my busy weeknight meals.  These wraps have become one of our family favorites.  We serve these with a side of wontons or potstickers to complete the meal. The filling can be made ahead of time and reheated if your day is extra busy. Bibb lettuce is our favorite, but feel free to use iceberg or even romaine for this dish. I hope you enjoy these as much as we do!

Healthier Chocolate Banana Muffins

 I know, I know.  We already have like 5 banana muffins posted on this blog.  I have put off posting this recipe because of that fact, but here's the thing.  While those muffins are all delicious and great in their own way, when I have ripe bananas you know I'm either making these muffins or banana bread.  More often, these muffins because they are perfect for a grab and go snack or breakfast.  My family LOVES these muffins! They have such a deep chocolate flavor and are so moist.  What my family doesn't think about, but I love, are that these muffins are healthier than your average muffin.  They are made with whole wheat flour, coconut oil, greek yogurt for extra protein, and have less sugar that most other muffins.  These are best warm (they can be reheated in the microwave for 10 seconds) and those bites with melted chocolate chips are the absolute best!
