With my absolutely ridiculous work schedule I've had a hard time finding time to cook anything in this book (even though they're super easy recipes) and I've also found it hard to blog! :(
I decided to try the 'Sweet 'n Chunky Chicken Salad' recipe. With Brent starting school again for the semester he doesn't have a break long enough to get a decent meal on his school days and so we are looking for mini-meals or snacks for him to have during the day. I also would like to use these recipes to stray away from eating out in the food court at work.
The recipe turned out really well and I actually doubled it.
Here's the actual recipe straight from the book:
4-1/2 oz cooked skinless lean chicken breast, roughly chopped
1/2 cup Persian or Kirby cucumber (if you can't find these, any cucumber will do)
1/3 cup red seedless grapes, halved
1/3 cup chopped apples (any kind will do - I used HoneyCrisp)
1/4 cup plain fat-free yogurt
2 Tbsp fat-free mayonnaise
1 no-calorie sweetener packet
1/4 tsp lemon-pepper seasoning
Dash of salt
In a medium bowl, combine yogurt, mayo, sweetener, lemon-pepper seasoning and salt, stirring until mixed well.
Add chicken, stirring until fully coated with the yogurt dressing.
Add cucumber, grape halves, and apples - mix well.
Makes two servings.
I didn't have lemon-pepper seasoning, so I just put some lemon juice and pepper in it, lol.
This recipe is actually really good. I was quite excited when it turned out :)
