Kitchen Tuesday

Happy Tuesday!! I'm so excited to share this recipe with you today!! I made it for dinner on Monday night and it was absolutely delicious on this hot summer day!

I know you have probably tried thousands of different chicken salad recipes but I must say, this is one that surprised me...

Here goes....

Hearty Roasted Chicken Salad

3 bone-in chicken breasts (skin on)
Extra Virgin Olive Oil
Salt, pepper

Heat oven to 350 F and place chicken breasts on a pan.  Rub both sides with olive oil, salt and pepper and put in oven -- roast until skin is crispy and juices run clear.  Let cool and remove skin and bones and shred chicken with a fork into bite size pieces but large enough to tell what meat it is.

Put chicken in a large bowl and to them add the following:

1 can of artichoke hearts, drained and quartered
1/2 cup of sliced red grapes (add more if desired)
2 handfuls chopped walnuts (don't you just love my measurements!)
1/2 cup sour cream (may use regular, light or fat free)
1/2 cup mayo (may use regular, light or fat free (I used Dukes light)
1 T. soy sauce
Juice of 1 whole lemon

Stir together gently making sure all ingredients are blended.  When combined, toss in about 2 tablespoons of chopped green onions and lightly mix in.  Taste to see if salt and pepper are needed...chill for about 30 minutes.

To serve:  Make a plate with thinly sliced cucumber, fresh strawberries or melon, a few cubes of cheese and some crispy crackers or toast points and serve. 

Delicious with a glass of icy cold lemonade or tea....

Healthy, filling and yet light and cool and ready in a flash with very little chopping or effort....my kind of summer supper!  Hope you enjoy it too!!!

Verse of the day:  Galatians 5:22-23 "But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control. Against such things there is no law."
