Review: Pecan Crusted(less) Chicken Salad
#7
  Re: (...)
Made this last night and used chicken meat (split breast) from the roasted chicken instead of the pecan crusted fried chicken pieces that were called for. Sure happy I did that when after dinner I read the nutrition for the recipe!! 1008 cal; 67g fat; 49g carb; & 1204mg sodium

I'm sure crusting and frying the chicken would have been really good, but the roasted chicken made a great salad. The citrus dressing (with Meyer lemon juice ) is super.

The Olive Cheddar rounds (w/English muffins) call for kalamatas and what a tasty combination with the salad. This recipe calls for 2 cups cheddar for 4 Eng. muffins, which I halfed, but I used no where near 1 cup between 2 muffins. But, I did up the amount of kalamatas from 3 for 4 muffins to 3 or 4 per muffin.

Overall, we both really enjoyed this dinner. and it's great with a riesling.

Thanks for the review, Jean. I'll have to give that one a look. It's warming up around here....time to get that book back out.

Grilled chicken would be the best to use now that the weather is cooperating, I'm thinking!!

BTW, your subject line could use another C.
If blueberry muffins have blueberries in them, what do vegan muffins have?

Hard to take "praise-crusted chicken" very far.
