Honey Garlic Pork Chops are marinated in soy sauce, honey, lemon juice, garlic and sherry, and can be grilled or broiled for an easy, delicious dinner!
I found the recipe for these honey garlic pork chops on an old newspaper clipping in a recipe box I’ve had for years, and decided to make them for a simple dinner. The recipe itself is incredibly simple… marinate the pork, then grill or broil it until done. Easy, right?

The pork is at its very best in flavor when it has had a chance to marinate for at least 4 hours.  My suggestion is to mix up marinade early in the day (or even the night before), drop in the pork chops and let them refrigerate all day, for best flavor!

Prepare The Pork Chops

Start with 1½ inch thick boneless pork chops. Trim off some of the extra fat around edges, if necessary.

Fat is trimmed off boneless pork chops before cooking.

Make The Honey Garlic Marinade

In a small bowl, mix together the lemon juice, honey, soy sauce, sherry and minced garlic. Stir well, to combine. This is the marinade.

Marinade for honey garlic pork chops is mixed in bowl.

Place the pork chops in a large gallon sized re-sealable plastic bag. Pour the marinade over the chops. Seal bag, then turn to coat chops with the marinade on all sides.

Place the sealed bag on a plate (I do this in case the bag leaks), then place in refrigerator for at least 4-24 hours.  Occasionally turn the bag over to fully coat each side.

Pork chops are marinated in honey garlic sauce before cooking.

When ready to cook, preheat oven broiler (or outside BBQ grill).  If using broiler (as I did this time), place a piece of aluminum foil or parchment paper on a 9×13 cookie sheet. Spray a wire rack (oven safe) with non-stick cooking spray. Place the pork chops on the rack (by doing these steps, it will make your cleanup a lot easier). Save the marinade left in bag.

Cooking The Honey Garlic Pork Chops

Cook under broiler or on grill for 12-15 minutes. Turn the chops at least once, and baste occasionally with the remaining marinade while the chops are cooking. Cook the pork chops until they reach an internal temperature of 160 degrees. Do not overcook, as this will dry out the chops.  When done, discard the remaining marinade.

Marinated pork chops are placed on wire rack to broil.

Remove the cooked honey garlic pork chops from wire rack and serve.  I served them with Toasted Orzo with Lemon and Chives, and a simple green salad. My husband and I really enjoyed this meal (and it was soooo easy to make!).

Honey garlic pork chops served with salad and toasted orzo side dish.

I hope you will have the opportunity to give this easy and delicious pork recipe a try.  You certainly will appreciate that you won’t have to put in a lot of effort or time in order to have some yummy pork chops for dinner!

Looking for a main course salad bursting with flavor and packed with protein? How about trying this filling, delicious recipe for Strawberry Avocado Spinach Salad With Grilled Chicken?Strawberry Avocado Spinach Salad with Grilled Chicken is bursting with flavor and protein, and tastes delicious topped with a homemade light balsamic dressing.
I found this salad recipe while searching Pinterest a while ago, and decided to make this for dinner for my husband and myself recently.  The salad was very easy to prepare, and the bonus is that the dressing for the salad also serves as a marinade for the chicken breasts before grilling! Here’s how to make this entree salad (enough for 2 LARGE main course salads):

Scroll Down For A Printable Recipe Card At The Bottom Of The Page

Make The Salad Dressing

First, mix up the salad dressing/marinade by placing olive oil, white balsamic vinegar, sugar, tarragon, salt and black pepper in a small bowl. Stir until sugar is dissolved and ingredients are completely combined. Divide the dressing in half, reserving half to dress the finished salad with before serving. Set aside.

Marinate The Chicken

Place the chicken breasts in a covered container.  Take the remaining half of the dressing and pour it over the chicken.  Turn to coat chicken with marinade. Place in refrigerator in covered container and let marinade for at least 30 minutes.

Marinade is mixed for dressing the strawberry avocado spinach salad.

Grill The Marinated Chicken

Prepare a grill (inside or outside) by spraying with a non-stick spray. Cook chicken breasts on medium-high heat, turning occasionally until they reach an internal temperature of 165 degrees, and are cooked through.  Grill times will vary, depending on the size of the chicken breasts, but the average time will be about 15-20 minutes.

Once cooked, take chicken off grill, and let the meat rest for a few minutes to let internal juices redistribute.  Cut chicken breasts into 1/2 inch slices.

Make The Strawberry Avocado Spinach Salad With Grilled Chicken

Arrange baby spinach, strawberries, red onion slices, feta, and almond slices in or on individual serving dishes.  Place grilled chicken slices on top of salad.

Chicken breast is sliced then served atop the spinach salad with avocado and strawberries.
Add avocado chunks, then drizzle salad with remaining reserved salad dressing (don’t use the dressing you marinated the chicken in). Serve this strawberry avocado spinach salad with grilled chicken, and enjoy every single bite!

Avocado chunks added to spinach salad, along with dressing.

Time To EAT!

Here is a photo of our  bowls of strawberry avocado spinach salad before we pounced on them and gobbled them up!  They were soooo good! Crunchy almonds, sweet strawberries, slightly salty feta, creamy avocados, yummy salad dressing and delicious chicken top this delicious salad off!

You’ll love this Weight Watchers Chopped Greek Chicken Salad, with grilled chicken, feta cheese, kalamata olives, crunchy cucumbers, and a light vinaigrette!You'll love this Weight Watchers Chopped Greek Chicken Salad, with grilled chicken, feta cheese, kalamata olives, crunchy cucumbers, and a light vinaigrette!

I discovered a new recipe for a Chopped Greek Chicken Salad, with grilled chicken, feta cheese, kalamata olives, crunchy cucumbers, and a light vinaigrette recently, and decided to try it.  Wow!  We LOVED it!

We each had a huge bowl of salad, complete with grilled chicken, feta cheese, kalamata olives, crunchy cucumbers, etc.. We topped it with a light vinaigrette dressing, and it was a delicious, filling and complete meal for us!

The flavor of the chopped Greek chicken salad was amazing… and guess what?  It’s a Weight Watchers recipe, so if you are looking to have a light (but filling) meal, a low calorie or Smart Points recipe (6 Points!), then I would highly recommend this main course salad! As an added bonus… it’s incredibly EASY to prepare, so it’s a WIN-WIN.

Scroll Down For A Printable Recipe Card At The Bottom Of The Page

How To Prepare Chopped Greek Chicken Salad

The first thing I did was cook the chicken. I used an indoor grill (which only took about 8 minutes), but you can cook the chicken breast any way you would like, or use leftovers.  Season chicken lightly with salt/pepper. Grill or roast chicken breasts (I used 2 thin breasts). When done, set aside to cool for 5 minutes. Once cool, cut into thin slices. Set aside. TIP: While chicken is cooking, prep, chop, and slice the veggies.

Divide the chopped romaine lettuce in half, and place in bowls or on dinner plates.  Divide and add the peeled, chopped cucumber and sliced green onions to each bowl.

“Building” The Salad In Layers

Divide the ingredients in half (half for each salad), and add the chicken slices and whole kalamata olives on top of the lettuce.

Grilled chicken and kalamata olives are added to the chopped Greek chicken salad.

Now divide and add the fresh chopped tomatoes and crumbled feta cheese to each chopped Greek chicken salad. Doesn’t it look GOOD??? Now- wasn’t that incredibly EASY to prepare?

Ready To Serve The Chopped Greek Chicken Salad

When ready to eat, drizzle each chopped Greek chicken salad with 2 Tablespoons of low-fat vinaigrette salad dressing. Give the salad a toss, to mix ingredients, then serve! Enjoy!

Here are our two dinner salads ready to go! Not only do they LOOK good, they TASTE great, as well! Time to dig into a nice big bowl of  scrumptious chopped Greek chicken salad.

Two chopped Greek chicken salads, in bowls, and ready for salad dressing!

This was a very filling salad, and I will definitely be making it again!  I LOVE that even a “lighter than normal” salad can be filled with so many wonderful flavors! My husband is already wondering when we will have this chopped Greek chicken salad again. Soon… real soon!

Cajun chicken pasta, with chicken breasts, healthy veggies in a creamy, mildly spicy sauce in this “lightened up” version of a famous restaurant dish!Cajun chicken pasta, with chicken breasts, healthy veggies in a creamy, mildly spicy sauce in this "lightened up" copycat version of a famous restaurant's dish!
I recently celebrated a birthday, and one of the first things I did with a gift card I received was to purchase a new cookbook for my collection.  The first recipe I made from that cookbook was this delicious “lightened-up” recipe for Cajun Chicken Pasta. We LOVED it, so I want to share it with you today!

The original version is a popular restaurant item in a famous restaurant, but in this version, it has been lightened up, and prepared as written, will be under 400 calories per 1½ cup serving!  It’s absolutely delicious! Look at all those fresh colorful veggies that are in this Cajun chicken pasta!  Here’s how to make it:

Scroll Down For A Printable Recipe Card At The Bottom Of The Page

Prep The Veggies First!

The best tip I can give you is to prep them before beginning! If you have all ingredients ready to go, you can prepare the dish while the pasta cooks and it should be ready in about the same amount of time!  TIP: Also to save time… bring a large pot of salted water to a boil right at the start (for the pasta).

Cajun Chicken Pasta / The Grateful Girl Cooks!

Blend The Sauce Thickening Ingredients

Combine milk, cream cheese and flour in a blender. Mix until well blended. Set aside.  This is a “slurry” that will be used to thicken the Cajun sauce later.

Cajun Chicken Pasta / The Grateful Girl Cooks!
Cook The Pasta

Cook the pasta in the boiling water according to package directions. Drain and set aside. Prepare the chicken and sauce while pasta is cooking.

Cajun Chicken Pasta / The Grateful Girl Cooks!

Time To Cook The Chicken

While the pasta is cooking, prepare the chicken. Season all the chicken pieces with Cajun seasoning, garlic powder, and salt.

Spray a non-stick skillet with cooking spray and heat to medium-high. When hot, add chicken (may need to work in batches depending on size of skillet). Cook chicken about 3 minutes (till golden brown on bottom), then flip and cook other side about 3 minutes.  When done, remove the chicken to a plate. Set aside.

Now Let’s Put The Cajun Chicken Pasta Together

Add olive oil to the skillet (same one you cooked the chicken in).  Turn heat down to medium.  Add the bell pepper and onion slices.  Cook for about 3 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Cajun Chicken Pasta / The Grateful Girl Cooks!

Once the veggies are tender, add the mushrooms and tomatoes. Cook for 2-3 minutes, then add minced garlic, and cook for an additional minute, stirring often. Add the rest of the garlic powder, remaining salt and pepper.  Stir to blend, and continue cooking.

Cajun Chicken Pasta / The Grateful Girl Cooks!Cajun Chicken Pasta / The Grateful Girl Cooks!

Turn heat down to medium-low.  Pour in the “slurry” ( milk/cream cheese/flour mixture) and a cup of chicken broth. Stir well, to blend. Cook for a couple minutes, stirring often, until the sauce has started to thicken.

Cajun Chicken Pasta / The Grateful Girl Cooks!

Time To Finish This Dish!

Add the chicken back into the skillet.  Add salt and the rest of the Cajun seasoning.  Stir and cook until chicken is heated through (1-2 minutes). Once mixed, add the cooked pasta, and gently stir, to coat pasta and chicken with Cajun sauce.

Cajun Chicken Pasta / The Grateful Girl Cooks!

Cajun Chicken Pasta / The Grateful Girl Cooks!

Serve The Cajun Chicken Pasta

Once everything is heated through, the Cajun Chicken Pasta is ready to serve!  Garnish each serving with sliced green onions… and serve while hot!

Cajun Chicken Pasta / The Grateful Girl Cooks!

We absolutely loved this Cajun chicken pasta meal!  So much flavor!  I also recommend Gina Homolka’s cookbook “The Skinnytaste Cookbook” for anyone looking to cut some calories out of their meals! It is a wonderful cookbook with some delicious recipes!

Have a great day.  Be kind out there, people!  It’s such a small thing… but your kindness really can have a huge impact on others!

A few days ago our oldest son popped in for a visit, and ended up staying to have dinner with us. I made this yummy, quick recipe for Fresh Tomato Bacon Onion Fettucine, and we enjoyed it very much!

The recipe is one I’ve had for years and years, but do not know the original source, since only the recipe was written down on a little 3×5 card.  I’ve made a few changes to the recipe over the years to suit my taste buds, and let me tell you… it is good!

The basic recipe for this tomato bacon onion fettucine is actually quite simple… cook bacon, cook pasta, cook a few other simple fresh ingredients, combine, and serve in about 20 minutes! It tastes wonderful, too!  Here’s how you make this dish:

How To Make Tomato Bacon Onion Fettucine

In a skillet, cook the bacon pieces until crisp. When done, transfer bacon pieces to paper towels to absorb the grease. Drain off the bacon drippings, BUT LEAVE 1 TABLESPOON BACON DRIPPINGS IN SKILLET (sorry for the slightly blurry photo). **Tip: While bacon is cooking, bring water for pasta to boiling, then cook in separate pot**.

Bacon is cooked until crispy for the fettucine sauce.
Add chopped onion, tomato, basil and crispy cooked bacon pieces to reserved Tablespoon of bacon drippings in skillet. The photo below is before I added the cooked bacon. (I used a variety of colored tomatoes, but any fresh tomatoes will be perfectly fine!).

Cook 3-4 minutes until onion is tender, and tomatoes have begun to break down. Add minced garlic and a couple Tablespoons of starchy water from the pasta that is cooking. Stir well, to combine. Cook, stirring occasionally, until heated completely through on medium heat.

Fresh tomatoes, onions are added to skillet.

Tomatoes, bacon, onions and Italian spices are cooked to make sauce for fettucine.

Prepare Fettucine Noodles

Heat lightly salted water in a large pot for cooking the pasta. Once the water is boiling, add the fettucine pasta, and cook according to package directions. (Note:  I did this while cooking the bacon and sauce to save time).

I made the fettucine from scratch with my little pasta machine earlier in the day just for fun!  Isn’t it beautiful?  I used it in this meal (because I find it relaxing to make homemade pasta), but absolutely recommend using store bought pasta for the easiest way to make this dish!

Fettucine pasta I made to use in this dish.

Fettucine noodles are cooked in boiling water until done.

When the pasta has finished cooking, drain it, then add pasta to the skillet with the sauce. Gently toss with tongs, to thoroughly coat the tomato bacon onion fettucine pasta with sauce. Cook until heated through, adding an additional touch of water if necessary to thin the sauce to cover.

Cooked and drained fettucine noodles are added to tomato, bacon and onion sauce.

Tomato, bacon and onion sauce is stirred into cooked fettucine pasta.

Serve The Tomato Bacon Onion Fettucine

Place pasta and sauce onto serving dishes, then garnish the tomato bacon onion fettucine with grated Parmesan cheese and a sprinkle of dried or fresh parsley. Serve, and enjoy!

Fresh tomato, bacon onion fettucine is served in white bowl.

We really enjoyed this tomato bacon onion fettucine with a simple mixed green salad on the side.  The recipe, as written, makes 3 main course servings or 4-5 small side servings. The caloric calculation is based on 3 main course servings.

As I write this blog today, my heart is broken over the Hurricane Harvey destruction and horrific flooding occurring in Texas and Louisiana this week. We are continuing to pray for our fellow citizens impacted by this event, and are hopeful God will meet their needs physically, emotionally and spiritually during and after this tragedy. He is “a very present help in times of trouble”.

Have a good day, friends. May you know God’s unconditional love, no matter what you are going through!

I made Albondigas Soup for dinner a couple of days ago… did you know that “Albondigas” simply means “little meatballs”? That’s right!

This is a yummy, Southwestern flavored “little meatball soup”.  It’s very simple to make… and it sure tastes good!

How I Got This Recipe

I was given this recipe at my bridal shower (almost 40 years ago) by the Mom of one of my bridesmaids.  This recipe for albondigas soup has been made so many times over the years, and we still enjoy it, to this day.

Simple and economical to make, the soup has a mild Southwestern flavor, due in small part to chili powder and other spices! The tiny meatballs made with ground beef, rice, and spices, really fill you up, too!

Albondigas soup is cooked all in one pan. Even the meatballs are added uncooked to the hot broth, and they cook in the pan.

No pre-browning of the meatballs is necessary, so it really doesn’t take much work at all to serve up a hot, steaming pot of albondigas soup! Here’s how to make it:

Scroll Down For A Printable Recipe Card At The Bottom Of The Page

How To Make Albondigas Soup

  Sauté chopped onions in a large soup pot in hot oil until the onions are translucent in color and tender, but not yet browned.

Cooking onions for the albondigas soup in a skillet.
Add the rest of soup ingredients to the pan. These ingredients are chili powder, garlic powder, bisque of tomato soup, condensed beef consommé, water, sliced celery and carrots.

Simmer, uncovered, on medium-low heat for 20 minutes, stirring occasionally. While the albondigas soup is simmering, make the meatballs.

Carrots and celery cooking in broth for soup

Prepare The Meatballs

Make the meatballs while the soup is simmering. Place the ground beef, cooked rice, cornstarch, garlic powder, oregano, egg, salt, pepper, and dried parsley in a large bowl.

Stir (or use your hands) until the ingredients are fully mixed together. Form the meat mixture into small meatballs about the size of a walnut shell (about 1½” wide).

I was able to make 31 little meatballs with this mixture. Place the meatballs on parchment paper as they are formed.

Add The Meatballs To The Soup

Carefully place the uncooked meatballs into the simmering broth.  They will sink to the bottom of the pot.  I took this first photo below, so you could see the meatballs go into the pot “uncooked”.

The meatballs will begin to cook immediately after putting them in. You can see this in the 2nd photo below, taken 30 seconds after adding the meatballs to the hot broth.

Cook the Soup

Simmer the albondigas soup on low heat for 30 minutes after adding the meatballs. Do not put a lid on the saucepan.

When done, the meatballs will float to the top of the soup, as shown below. They should be fully cooked through, as well.

The Albondigas Soup Is Ready To Eat!

All that’s left to do is to ladle the hot soup into individual serving bowls. Serve albondigas soup hot with a slice of warm bread and a mixed green salad on the side. Enjoy!

I hope you enjoy this simple to prepare, yet tasty albondigas soup! It is a family favorite, and I really think you will enjoy it!

Thanks for stopping by, and I invite you to come back again soon, for more family-friendly recipes. Take care, and have a GREAT day!

Looking for a delicious “new” way to cook pork tenderloin? How about this recipe for pork medallions?  The recipe is a one-pan wonder, featuring tender pork and mushrooms in a creamy Marsala wine sauce. This easy to make dish can be “on the table” in 30 minutes! The best part is that it tastes amazing!

I originally found the recipe on Pinterest months ago, from Jennifer at Seasons and Suppers, and finally got around to trying it. Delicious!!!!  The recipe (as written below) serves 4; since I was only cooking for my husband and myself, I halved the recipe, so the photos reflect that.

Scroll Down For A Printable Recipe Card At The Bottom Of The Page

Prepare The Pork Medallions

Trim any excess fat (and silverskin) from pork. Slice into 2 inch thick medallions. Lightly season the pork with salt and pepper.  In a large skillet, heat the olive oil and 1 Tablespoon of the butter using medium-high heat. Once you see the butter melt and get foamy (and the skillet is really hot), add the slices of pork in a single layer (cook it in two batches, if you need to).

Sear the pork until lightly browned (2-3 minutes). Turn the pork over; continue to cook the other side for another 2-3 minutes until golden brown. Remove pork from skillet to a plate. Set aside. Do not clean out skillet.

Pork medallions are lightly seasoned with salt, pepper.

Pork medallions are cooked in butter.

Pork medallions are cooked until browned on all sides.

Melt the rest of the butter (2 T.) in the same skillet you cooked pork in. Add chopped shallots; season with a touch of salt and pepper. Cook for 30 seconds, stirring and scraping browned bits off bottom of skillet with a wooden spoon.

Add sliced mushrooms; cook until golden in color and any mushroom liquid has evaporated. This will take approximately 2-3 minutes.

Butter and shallots are cooked for marsala sauce for pork medallions.

Sliced mushrooms are added to marsala sauce for pork medallions.

Make The Marsala Sauce for The Pork Medallions

Sprinkle mushrooms with flour, then pour in the Marsala wine. Stir to combine. Cook until the Marsala wine has almost completely evaporated. Add the chicken broth, stir and cook until the amount of liquid in skillet is reduced in half (this will take about 3-4 minutes).

Stir the whipping cream and parsley into the pan. True Story- I accidentally dumped a bit of extra whipping cream into the skillet, so the sauce is lighter in color than it normally would be-oops!.

Chicken broth and whipping cream are added to marsala wine sauce for pork medallions.

Mushroom marsala sauce has thickened; parsley is added to pan.

Return The Pork to the Skillet

Add the pork medallions (and any extra juices on plate) back into the skillet. Stir to combine and turn, to coat pork with sauce. Cook on medium-low for an additional 2-4 minutes, stirring often, until pork is hot. Try not to let the sauce boil.

Browned pork medallions are added into mushroom marsala sauce in skillet.

Time To EAT!

Taste test the sauce. Season with additional salt and pepper, if desired. Serve and enjoy! I served the pork medallions with creamy mashed potatoes and green beans from our garden.

The flavor of the sauce is wonderful, and really makes the dish! I hope you will consider trying this easy, quick recipe for pork medallions, and trust that you will enjoy it as much as we did.

Have a fantastic day and remember to be kind to those you meet or cross paths with today. It feels good to be a positive force for good in our often harsh, hurting world. God Bless You.

Large shrimp cooked with olive oil, butter, lemon juice and lots of garlic, and served with pasta… does that sound good to you? If it does, then you will LOVE this recipe for Shrimp Scampi!

Did you know that in the United States we have “National Shrimp Scampi Day”? It is celebrated each year on April 29th. Who knew?  I recently found this recipe from celebrity chef Ina Garten and decided to try it with some shrimp I had pulled out of our freezer.

I’d made shrimp scampi many times before, using a different recipe, but decided this one was the winning ticket, so I wanted to share on my blog! It is light… and DELICIOUS!!!! Did I mention that it’s really easy to make?  Here’s how:

Scroll Down For A Printable Recipe Card At The Bottom Of The Page

How To Make Shrimp Scampi

Place a little bit of vegetable oil into a large pot of boiling water.  Add the pasta and 1 Tablespoon salt. Cook per package instructions. While pasta is cooking, cook the shrimp.

Pasta cooking in large pot, in order to serve with the shrimp scampi.

To prepare the shrimp, melt butter and olive oil in large skillet over medium-low heat. Add the minced garlic and cook for 1 minute, stirring often to prevent the garlic from burning.

Butter, garlic and olive oil are heated in skillet before adding shrimp.

Cook The Shrimp

Add all of the shrimp, plus 1½ teaspoons salt, and ground black pepper to the skillet.

Seasoned shrimp are added to the butter and lemon shrimp scampi sauce.

Cook the shrimp scampi, stirring often, and cooking both sides. Continue to cook the shrimp for a total of about 5-6 minutes, until the shrimp turn pink in color.

All of the seasoned shrimp are cooking in skillet.

Add chopped parsley, lemon zest, lemon slices, lemon juice, and red pepper flakes to the shrimp scampi. Stir well, to fully combine all the ingredients. Sorry the photo below is a bit blurry. I must have been in a hurry to eat!

By now the pasta should be done cooking. Drain the cooked pasta, then place it back into the pot.  Add the shrimp scampi and the sauce to the pasta.  Mix the ingredients well, so that all the pasta is coated with sauce.

Serve The Shrimp Scampi

Serve the shrimp scampi at once, while hot, and enjoy the wonderful flavors of this classic Italian seafood dish! The recipe as written makes 3 large servings or 4 slightly smaller servings.

A portion of shrimp scampi is garnished with fresh parsley and lemon slices, to serve.

The shrimp scampi meal is served, and is ready in about 30 minutes!

The shrimp scampi tastes wonderful, due in part to the freshly squeezed lemon juice and zest, plus the flavorful minced garlic! I have a hunch you will absolutely LOVE this meal!

My husband and I had the leftovers the next day for lunch, and they tasted just as good as the night before!  Hope you will consider giving this recipe a try. It’s quick, easy and so incredibly good! Have a great day, and come back again soon.

This easy and delicious copycat version of a famous East Coast chicken salad is convenient to have in the refrigerator for a quick sandwich for lunch or dinner!
Do you enjoy chicken salad?  Today I want to share with you a wonderful recipe for Easy Chicken Salad For Sandwiches! It’s really yummy!

I enjoy having chicken salad made up and ready in the fridge during hot summers, so I can make chicken salad sandwiches for my family any time I want!

The original recipes comes from a website I enjoy called “A Family Feast”.  Martha and her husband Jack (the bloggers/cooks) have a wonderful website, Facebook and Pinterest pages that feature some fantastic recipes. I highly recommend their website (see recipe source below)!

Here’s how to make this delicious chicken salad for sandwiches.

Why This Is Called A “Copycat” Recipe

The recipe is a copycat version of a brand of chicken salad for sandwiches marketed and sold on the East Coast.  While I have never tasted the original Willow Tree Chicken Salad, I found this recipe almost identical (minus the brown sugar/garlic powder) to the recipe my Mom’s been making for years.

That was enough for me to try it. so I decided to test this version out!  YUM! The chicken salad is very flavorful, and not too “mayonnaise-y” (new word!) once ingredients are combined.

It’s also fairly inexpensive to make, and very easy to prepare.  The recipe makes 4-6 servings, depending on how much chicken salad you use for each sandwich, and it tastes GOOD.

If you want to cut out some carbs and not use bread, simply place the chicken salad between lettuce leaves and roll up like a burrito to eat!   Here’s how to make this tasty chicken salad:

Shred The Meat For The Chicken Salad For Sandwiches

The recipe calls for cooked boneless, skinless chicken breast.  I simply boil the chicken breasts in water until done (the easy way), but however you cook the chicken is up to you.

Once the chicken is cooked, place the chicken breasts in a stand mixer (with the paddle attachment on). Shred the chicken on medium speed until it’s finely shredded.

If you want to shred the chicken by hand instead of using a mixer, simply use two forks.

This is how it looks once done. You will have a nice big bowl of finely shredded chicken, and it only takes a couple of minutes!

Add The Rest Of The Ingredients

Add the rest of the ingredients to the shredded chicken (mayonnaise, celery, onion, brown sugar, garlic powder, salt and pepper).

Mayonnaise, onion, celery and spices added to shredded chicken

Stir all of the chicken salad ingredients well, until thoroughly blended. Take a bite, and add additional salt and/or pepper, to suit your taste.

Cover the chicken salad with plastic wrap, and keep it refrigerated until you are ready to make and serve the sandwiches.

Chicken Salad For Sandwiches Is Now Ready To Eat!

When you’re ready to make sandwiches, place the chicken salad on top of lettuce leaves on sandwich bread, cut in half, and serve! That’s it!  Pretty easy, right?

Keep any leftovers covered in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days. Now you can make delicious chicken salad sandwiches whenever you want!

I sure do love summer in Oregon!  It is such a blessing to have warmth, sunshine, and blue skies, especially after the wettest, gloomiest Winter and Spring I can recall in several years!

Having this chicken salad for sandwiches pre-made and ready is a welcome thing, so we can be outside enjoying the beauty of the Pacific Northwest! Thanks for stopping by, and have a great day!

Cranberry Chicken is delicious and easy to make, with baked chicken breasts, whole cranberry sauce, onion soup mix, pecans and Catalina dressing.
Cranberry Chicken is delicious and easy to make, with baked chicken breasts, whole cranberry sauce, onion soup mix, pecans and Catalina dressing.
If you’re looking for a completely simple, yet delicious new chicken recipe to try, may I suggest this one for Cranberry Chicken?

Chicken breasts are layered with whole cranberry sauce, onion soup mix, chopped pecans, dried cranberries, topped with Catalina dressing. It is baked until done, then served on steamed rice.

If that ingredient list sounds strange, you’re not alone. That was my reaction the first time I saw the ingredient list. Guess what? The ingredients for cranberry chicken may sound a bit odd, but the finished chicken dish tastes really good!

Here’s how to make cranberry chicken.

How To Make Cranberry Chicken

This meal takes less than 10 minutes of prep work (how great is THAT?). The recipe is as simple as layering ingredients and baking.

First, spray a 9×13 baking pan with non stick spray. Place boneless, skinless chicken breasts in the pan in a single layer.

Chicken breasts are placed in a single layer in a baking dish.
Spread whole cranberry sauce evenly over chicken breasts, to cover. Who knew that raw chicken and cranberry sauce could look so festive? Ha Ha.

Sprinkle the onion soup mix evenly over all that cranberry sauce. See how easy this is so far? Told you it was easy.

Onion soup mix is sprinkled over cranberry chicken.
Sprinkle some crunchy, chopped pecans evenly over the soup mix. Now this dish is almost done, and you’ve probably not gotten too worn out, right?

Chopped pecans are added to cranberry chicken dish.
Ready to “sprinkle” again? YEP. Evenly sprinkle the dried cranberries over the pecans.

Dried cranberries are added to cranberry chicken in baking dish.Add Catalina Dressing

Pour a bottle of Catalina dressing evenly over the top of the chicken.  I use my own Homemade Catalina Salad Dressing, but a regular sized bottle of store bought dressing works perfectly!

Catalina salad dressing is poured over cranberry chicken in baking dish.Bake The Cranberry Chicken

Lightly cover the pan with aluminum foil. Bake the cranberry chicken at 350 degrees F. for 45 minutes. 

Remove the foil, and continue baking the chicken for an additional 15 minutes. Remove the chicken from the oven. The chicken is done when cooked through to an internal temperature of 165°F.

This is what the cranberry chicken looked like when it was done and came out of the oven. Let it cool for 2-3 minutes before serving.

Serve the cranberry chicken on top of hot cooked rice, on individual serving plates (or a serving platter).

Spoon some of the extra sauce over the top of each piece of chicken, for added flavor. Now you’re ready to eat this delicious main dish.

That’s it!  Cranberry chicken really is such an easy recipe to prepare!  We enjoyed trying this chicken dish, and hope you will, too! My husband said the taste reminded him of Thanksgiving (must be those cranberries!).

Have a wonderful day, and remember… be kind, and seek to encourage those whom you encounter today. There’s no telling what hardship or troubles they might be facing, and YOU could be the person who makes a difference in their day!
