*rock on down to the kitchen and make me an egg*
I posted about chicken salad to go with my roasted cauliflower soup tonight and ![[info]](https://www.insanejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif)
fun_demented asked for my recipe. It's very simple and very basic, but we eat it a lot (lots of protein, low carb...just my thing) and it's something all three of us really, really like. It's sort of a made up recipe, based on lots and lots of them just like it and I'm not good about measuring, so I have to guess on that part.
Tweedy's Chicken Salad
2-3 chicken breasts, shredded or diced (I either roast bone-in breasts with lemon and rosemary or cook boneless breasts in foil with lemon slices and bay leaf)
about 1/3 cup mayo (I use light or fat free, they all taste the same to me)
about 2 tablespoons lemon yogurt (I shop at Kroger and they make a light yogurt that I like best)
lemon pepper to taste
Spike seasoning to taste
red or purple grapes, about a cup, sliced in half
a stalk or two (I like more, BK doesn't) celery, chopped finely
1/2 cup pine nuts, roasted on the stovetop for a few minutes, then cooled
Mix it all together! I just sort of adjust the amount of mayo to taste...be sure not to use too much yogurt or it's too sweet. It's really all just a matter of taste as to how much of each ingredient. I have been known to use apples instead of grapes and chopped walnuts instead of pine nuts, but I do this mix the most. :D
