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!

Glazed Lemon Loaf Cake

Ever since getting a slice of Lemon Cake from Starbucks a few years back I have been on a quest to find a good copycat recipe.  I've tried several and they were all fine, but this cake is officially the winner.  My search is over! I seriously could not imagine a more perfect lemon cake.   Lemon flavor shines throughout the cake, but the real punch of flavor comes from the delectable glaze. The cake itself is so moist yet fluffy and tender at the same time.  It's like a ray of sunshine on a cold winter's day! 

Best Ever Chocolate Chip Cookies

The name says it all. These cookies are my (and my husband's) favorite cookies! Not just your average chocolate chip cookies, these babies come out of the oven with a slightly crisp outside while still remaining soft on the inside. Use Ghiradelli Milk Chocolate Chips and you will have achieved chocolate chip cookie perfection!
