I bought the Grilled & Ready chicken breast strips because they are versatile and can be used in a number of dishes. I decided to do a chicken salad with them.

Healthy Ingredients

No, not just another boring chicken salad–this one has character! What makes this special is the zingy dressing that the breast strips are marinated in and is used on the salad!

Delicious yet healthy Orange Cilantro Dressing

The earthy flavor of cilantro combines with the tanginess of oranges to produce a wonderful flavor which harmonizes so well with the slightly smoky grilled taste of the chicken breast strips.

Tyson Grilled & Ready® Chicken Breast Strips–no cooking, just reheat!

The dressing also contains fresh ginger and garlic, which are well-known healthy ingredients, honey to replace white sugar, as well as the smarter choice of olive oil instead of plain old vegetable oil.

Simple but healthy dressing ingredients

Dressing easily made in a blender or food processor

Spinach of course, for color and vitamins, but baby arugula’s robust flavor and chew factor bring all these elements together!

Grilled & Ready® Chicken Salad with Orange-Cilantro Dressing

Salad:
2 cups baby Arugula (aka Rocket)
2 cups baby spinach
2 green onions, sliced
10 grape tomatoes, sliced in half
8 oz Tyson Grilled & Ready® chicken breast strips
Dressing:
1/4 cup packed cilantro leaves
1 tbs diced jalapeno
2 tbs lime juice
2 tbs orange juice
1/3 cup honey
1 tsp orange zest
2 tsp balsamic vinegar
2 large cloves garlic, roughly chopped
1 3/4 tsp fresh ginger, roughly chopped
1 tsp salt (or to taste)
1/2 cup olive oil
1/2 tsp dark sesame oil (optional)

Add all dressing ingredients, except oils, to blender or food processor. Pulse a few times to coarsely chop cilantro leaves. With blender or food processor running, slowly drizzle olive oil through the feeder tube of food processor or through hole in the top of a blender. Add optional sesame oil, if using. Reserve 1/4 cup of dressing for marinade.

Defrost Tyson Grilled & Ready® Chicken Breast Strips per package instructions. Place defrosted chicken strips in a non-reactive (stainless steel, ceramic, plastic) bowl. Pour the 1/4 cup of dressing over chicken. Cover and refrigerate for 30 minutes.

Mix all salad ingredients in a large bowl and distribute evenly between 2 plates. Top with marinated chicken. Serve with additional dressing.

Makes 2 servings.

Lindsay Olive Mexican French Bread Pizza

Nothing says entertaining in style with great holiday recipes more than this Lindsay® Olive Mexican French Bread Pizza appetizer!

There’s nothing I enjoy more than entertaining friends and neighbors, especially around the winter holidays!

I try to plan the food I serve around treasured holiday recipes and Christmas recipes. This Mexican French Bread Pizza is one of my go-to appetizer recipes. It’s rich and cheesy, packed with black and green olives and flavored with Mexican-style spices. If you like a little heat, there’s some jalapenos in it too. Feel free to use more if you like it a little more “zesty.”

This is just a wonderful snack for a tree trimming party or as an appetizer for a Christmas Eve cocktail party get-together.

So when I found out that my local Price Chopper Supermarket had a good deal on Lindsay® Olives this week with the AdvantEdge card, I decided to stock up when I was shopping for the week. I opted for convenience here by purchasing the pre-sliced variety, and I also liked that they come in a resealable container.

These are just some of the ingredients used in this French Bread Pizza. I used Italian bread, but that’s OK too!
