Tired of Eating Out

We have eaten out WAY too much lately. So, this week, I decided it was time to get back in the grove. And, this easy sandwich was a great way to ease me back into things. It was super fast and super yum! It WILL be made again!

Homemade?

This is my own chicken salad recipe...but, I totally cheat. It's not completely homemade. I use canned chicken and think it is SO yummy! Also, I am not a fan of mayo, so I use other things! It's one of Matt's favorites. Here's what to do...

Easy Chicken Salad

1 can of white chicken breast

Pepper

Drain chicken and shred. Place in bowl and add celery, relishes, grapes and pecans. Add dressing and mustard. (don't add too much, you don't want it to be runny!) Season with salt and pepper. Stir well. Serve on a sandwich, on crackers or with pretzel chips.

Our $413.74 Sandwich

When we were waiting in the waiting room for Matt's MRI, the Food Network was playing for the whole 2+ hours that were were there. We watched all kinds of chefs prepare their masterpieces. I was amazed at how entertaining it really was. ... But, the thing that looked the yummiest was this sandwich. Matt and I both decided that we had to try it. It seemed so different and good. ...So, last night, we made them, and MMMM MMMM! It IS so good! It may not be worth the $413.74 we spent to see the show, but it'll be one we make again, for sure!
