Not Your Fancy Chicken Salad

Sometimes recipes do not have to be 

FANCY

nor

COMPLICATED

to be delicious!

This one is neither.

The photo is pretty uneventful as well.

Such is life!

So here ya go.

Grill, fry, bake or buy some boneless, skinless chicken breasts.

In a small bowl throw a DOLLOP of mayo in.

I like that word, dollop!

Maybe DOLLOP 2 big old tablespoons of your 

favorite mayo from your frig.

Then you add a SPLASH of your favorite Italian Salad Dressing.

I had some Olive Garden Dressing 

in my frig so I grabbed it right away.

Mix it up and then SPILL it over the chicken in a pretty bowl.

I added about 1 tablespoon of diced celery to give 

it a little crunch.

You may also add onions and or nuts for a little crunch 

if you so need too.

STIR

then 

SERVE it up!

There ya go!

So easy yet so yummy!

Chicken Dinner

I'm thinking this would be a great appetizer

as well. I was also thinking if you wanted to make it really fattening you could dump some yummy queso 

on top of each individual serving!

It does have a yummy tex mex feel to it!

I want to serve it with some fresh pico 

and a guacamole salad

Triple C Rolls

1  pound of cooked/grilled chicken breasts (chopped)

3/4 block of cream cheese (room temperature)

2 Tbs of finely chopped white onion

1/3 cup of chopped cilantro

3/4 cup of Monterey Jack Cheese

1 refrigerated pie crust 

1 small chopped jalapeno (OPTIONAL)

Salt and Pepper to taste

Preheat oven to 375.

Combine all ingredients in a bowl.

Spread out one pie crust on kitchen counter.

Spread the chicken mixture on pie crust and roll up until it is one

long roll. Place the roll on a well greased pan and bake for 25-30 minutes or until crust becomes slightly browned. Slice into bars

and serve alone as an appetizer or with a salad for dinner.

I dumped some pico on mine and sliced up some avocado.

It was yummy, yummy yummy!

I doubled the recipe when I served them as appetizers.

Potato Chip Chicken Tenders

Let's talk chicken shall we?

Most kids like fried chicken tenders correct?

Mama's know fried food is not the best thing for our kids correct?

Well here is my version of fried chicken tenders that might be a tad bit healthier.      
I did say a tad!

Mama Holli's Chicken Tenders

1 package of skinless chicken strips

1 cup of Ranch Salad Dressing

2 cups of crushed potato chips (crush more if needed)

Place the dressing and crushed chips in separate bowls.

Dip one tender at a time in the dressing first and then roll in the chips to coat.  Place coated tenders on an ungreased baking sheet.

Bake at 350 for about 25 minutes or until crispy and done.

Serve them up hot and crispy with veggies and a salad!

These are baked not fried but the chips probably counteract that a bit!  :)  Regardless my kids love these!
