I ate this tonight. Pulled Chicken Salad. A off-the-top-of-my-head recipe from an old friend that never fails. It's clean, healthy, filling and delicious (and quick, easy-peasy).
I was leaving Zumba tonight and hit up the grocery store as I needed two things: (i) groceries, and (ii) dinner. After picking up various produce and planning my meal for tomorrow night (I'm making a Greek chicken crock pot dish I've never attempted before) I started to feel hungry. I hit up the magazine/cookbook aisle for inspiration and I didn't even need to open a book! I saw a magazine entitled, 'Clean Eating' and my mind jumped to this salad and back to the produce aisle I went. Within 15 minutes of arriving home I was chowing down.
Ingredients:
* Whole BBQ chicken
* Spinach
* Veggies you like (I like: grape tomatoes, avocados)
* Canned mandarin oranges
* Optional: dried cranberries
Make it:
Pull all the chicken off your BBQ chicken and put in a bowl off to the side. Put heaping handful of spinach on plate. Chop veggies & add to the mix. Throw in whatever else you want (walnuts are awesome. As are hard boiled eggs). Toss some chicken on top. Enjoy.
Told ya it was easy.
Sometimes I make my own dressing (not tonight, thanks Kraft) and to do so I squeeze a lime (you could use lemon), chop a couple cloves of garlic, and pour in some olive oil. Shake it up and pour over your salad.
yummmmmmm. looks perfect.

Easy shmeasy! The whole chicken thing was complicated and messy. Ick! And dried cranberries... How long do I let them dry for?! Oh and I'm extra confused now because first you said it was from a friend then you said you saw it in a magazine. Was it a combination of the two? I love finding recipes and making them my own! Don't you?
ReplyDeleteMichelle- you sound like a retard.
ReplyDelete"The whole chicken thing was complicated and messy"- how complicated is it to buy a barbecue chicken and shred the meat??
"How long do I let them dry for"- you can buy dried cranberries.
Obviously you are an amateur in the kitchen
