Yum-O Chicken Salad


So today I made Rachael Ray’s “Chicken Salad with Yogurt-Ranch Dressing” for dinner.  It was Yum-O!

It was a little icky taking apart the rotisserie chicken, but after a while it wasn’t too bad.  I got used to it and may have developed some carving skills in the process. 

The final result was very tasty and it is surprisingly healthy.  I made it with Greek yogurt and that kept it creamy without being fattening.  I served the salad on small toasted baguette rounds.  That is different from RR’s suggestion, but it was my last chance with the bread we had in the house….so I was trying to be thrifty! Plus, I already sent hubby out for the chicken and celery.  (Would it be me cooking in the kitchen without a missing ingredient!) 

Here is the final result….



We have plenty leftover so tomorrow’s lunch is taken care of too!  I think this recipe would be perfect for a summer picnic or if you try it my way (on the small baguette rounds) could be a cool/different appetizer to have on hand.  Hubby very much approved!  He came to the table and said, “TAPAS!”  Yay!  He loved them and I love how he is cleaning the kitchen after our dinners! 

This will be a short post today.  I am really tired after our five mile run this morning!  We did pretty well…right around 50 minutes.  We have a 10K race this weekend, I hope we are ready!

  2. Oh look, I already commented ... good luck on the 10K! That is very ambitious! I'd be interested to hear how long you've been running etc. :-) You sound like a pro! Now if only I can talk my hubby into doing the same w/ me ...
