While The Oven Is Hot...And a Chicken Salad Recipe!

By -
While the oven is hot, make the most of it!
I learned this a long time ago from my mother. (She ROCKS!)
I knew I had croissants to bake off last night.
Since I had to turn the oven on, it only made sense to keep going!
I make a 9x13 cake for a Lime Jell-O Poke Cake.
Then, I made biscuits for Biscuits 'n Gravy.
I also pulled a cookie dough pack out and made 2 dozen cookies for the party on Saturday.
The oven was only on about an hour, but I planned ahead a little and make that extra heat in the summer kitchen pay off.
:)

It also saves money because I didn't turn it on, and then off, over and over this week.
Bonus!!

Now, let's get to that Candied Chicken Curry Salad Recipe!
I like to use grilled chicken for this - but you could even use canned. I kind of figure that while the grill is hot - I might as well grill as much as I can and chill it for later - kind of like working with the oven.

Dannelle's Curried Chicken Salad
2 cups Diced/Shredded cooked chicken
1 tsp sweet pickle relish
1/2 tsp curry powder
1 cup red grapes, cut in half
1 cup Miracle Whip
1 Handful Frosted Walnuts

Still it all together and you are ready for anything!
  • It's great inside crepes and served cold.
  • On a bed of lettuce as part of a cold plate.
  • On a fresh croissant, on top of a little shredded lettuce.
This is fairly healthy too!
  • Low fat protein in the chicken.
  • Curry Powder is good for fighting Cancer, regulates your metabolism, and helps fight Alzheimer's.
  • Red Grapes are good lowering cholesterol and helping arthritis pain/flares.
  • Miracle Whip is lower in fat than Mayonnaise. 
  • Walnuts are good for lowering cholesterol and help you loose weight (unless you frost them-oops!)
If you make my chicken salad - I'd love to know what you think. We used to serve it at my restaurant and it was a hot seller.
:)

That being said, I do one every year - in December, about 2 weeks before Christmas. (You can read about it HERE or see a TV segment I did on it http://youtu.be/-iUR7GlAiQw ).

I know this sounds strange -- and yummy at the same time, LOL You need to know the family history to "get it". We are part German, part English, part Irish and part Tennessee Hillbilly. Seriously. Did you ever see that black and white movie of Gary Cooper's called Sergeant York? Yes, my family comes from the Dyer/Yorks -- same family. Some of the "family recipes" are too far out there for even me to try... But this is a pot luck favorite. SUPER Easy and SUPER Easy to make healthier. We choose the middle of the road option, LOL You need:  1 package hot dog buns (8 ct) 1 package hot dogs 2 cups chili (or 1 can) 2 cups shredded sharp cheddar cheese "fixins" That's it! You could do gluten free or whole grain wheat buns, turkey or tofu dogs, vegetarian chili, vegan or light cheese, you get the drift. We do white buns, cut them up and place in the 9x13 pan, like you see here: Then you dice up the hot dogs
