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.

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!

Lindt Truffle Chocolate Cupcakes

These cupcakes are beyond delicious!   Divine is how my sister Becky described them.  I served these at her Bridal Shower on Saturday and everybody loved them!  I honestly think they are the best cupcakes I have ever eaten .  I'm not the only one who had that opinion either :) These are a chocolate lovers dream.  Here's the rundown.  A Lindt Lindor truffle is baked in the center of a rich and very moist devils food cupcake.

Hawaiian Grilled Chicken

Since this chicken came into our lives, we have had it for many happy dinners.  I can't claim that every member of my family loves, or even likes, every meal I make, but this is an exception.  There are no complaints with this chicken.  So flavorful! I started out making this recipe with chicken breasts, but have since started making it with chicken thighs which are even more tender and juicy.  Either one works though.  You need to try this out before grilling season is over! I love to serve this with grilled pineapple and coconut rice (see note).  Such a perfect Summer meal!
