I'm going to start posting a weekly recipe on here for you guys. Exciting, huh?
Today's recipe is
chicken salad sandwiches.
chicken salad sandwiches.
YUM!
First you'll need some chicken breast, grapes, shredded carrots, green onions, celery, almonds, an apple, mayo, a couple croissants, and salt & pepper. I try to make it as low fat as possible so I use fat free mayo and boneless skinless chicken breast. The croissants on the other hand are a different story, they aren't low fat, but they're good. You could always eat this as a lettuce wrap if you don't want the extra calories and stuff the croissants give ya.
First boil your chicken. I added a little salt to my water this time just to give it a little flavor and it seemed to help give the chicken a good flavor. You could always grill your chicken and then chop it up, but I like to boil it in this case just because it can cook without me having to watch it and I can get all my chopping done at the same time.
So, while the chicken's boiling chop up your onion, carrots, celery, grapes, apples, and your almonds.
When your chicken's done chop it up and add everything to a bowl and mix it up. I only used about 3Tbs of fat free mayo, I'm sure you could use more, but I'm not a big mayo fan. I use just enough to hold it together some.
Slice your croissants, add your filling, and you got a yummy lunch. Mmmmm!
Chicken Salad Sandwiches
6oz boneless skinless chicken breast
1/3 cup chopped grapes
1/4 cup chopped carrots
1 green onion chopped
1 celery stalk chopped
1/8 cup chopped almonds
1/3 of an apple chopped
pinch of salt and pepper
3 Tbs fat free mayo
4 croissants
Boil your chicken until done then chop. Mix chopped ingredients with mayo and salt & pepper. Slice croissants and add filling. Enjoy!

Favourite food? I have to choose? I guess ONE of my favourite foods is Lasagne. Meat, veggie, cheese, it doesn't matter. And the Le Creuset baking dishes would make great Lasagne; the small one for just hubby and I, the larger one when family come to visit.
