Easy Chicken Salad Recipe

Happy Memorial Day Weekend!

This Chicken Salad recipe is delicious and super easy!  It’s a “Laurie Original”.  I don’t cook much so when my family loves something I make, I’m willing to share. :D

  • 1 package of Perdue Honey Roasted Chicken Breast, chopped.
  • 1 small apple (I use Fuji apples), chopped
  • 1/4 cup of Craisins
  • Red Grapes, sliced
  • a handful of sliced Almonds
  • add mayo and mix together

I have served this with toasted pita bread cut in triangles, on bread as a sandwich, and it can also be served as it is or on a bed of lettuce.

Perdue Honey Roasted is my favorite, but any brand will work. And of course, for those who really like to cook, can always bake a chicken breast, then chop it up. ;)

I usually add a couple of heaping tablespoons of Mayo. Add to taste.

Cooking Craze

Something amazing happened this week.  I made dinner TWO nights in a row!  AND the dinners were new recipes!  Yep.  It’s Ok.  I’ll wait while you catch your breath.

Are you breathing again?  Good.  My family is still in shock. ;)

Maybe you do this too? – Pin a ton of yummy recipes to your Pinterest boards and never make anything.  That’s me.  You’d think I like to cook if you saw my food boards.  The truth is I hate to cook.  Hate it.  It’s not really the effort to cook, it’s thinking about what to cook.

So what did I cook you ask?  Sunday night I made this…

TWO TIMIN’ PASTA BAKE

1 box penne pasta

1 (15 oz.) jar Alfredo sauce

1 (24 oz.) jar Marinara sauce

2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese

1 cup shredded parmesan cheese

You can get the directions here.  It’s super easy and very yummy.

Monday night I made this…

Tomato Basil Parmesan Soup in a Slow Cooker

You can get the recipe and directions here.  (Please forgive me if this is not the original source.  I’ve seen this recipe in so many places.)

The soup was a definite hit because my son said “This is pretty good”.  A true miracle, believe me!

I know my friends and family are thinking right now “WHO ARE YOU?”  Well, I like to shake things up a bit.  I can be wild and crazy.  But I do think cooking for the third night in a row might be going a little too bonkers.  I will have to see if I think the family can handle it. ;)
