2.Cook chicken: To cook the chicken, you can either frill it on an indoor or outdoor grill or sear it on the stovetop. To sear: add 1Tbsp olive oil to a large skillet over medium, heat. Place chicken breast in hot oil. Cook chicken about for about 6-7 minutes on each side, or until juices run clear. Remove chicken from skillet and let sit for 5 minutes to cool before slicing for the salad, This step can be done a day in advance.
3.Make dressing: While the chicken cooks, make the dressing by whisking together all the ingredients in a small bowl or glass jar.
4.Assemble salad: Divide the spinach or romaine among 4 plates (or containers if you’re making this for meal prep). Arrange equal portions of blackened chicken, hard-boiled egg, tomatoes, cucumber, red onion, avocado, bacon and blue cheese on top of the greens.
5.Add dressing: Just before serving, top salad with 1-2Tbsp of the red wine vinaigrette dressing or your favorite dressing.
Ingredients:
1 cup water
1/2 cup unsalted butter
1 cup all-purpose flour
Pinch of salt
4 eggs
2 packages (8 ounces) cream cheese, softened
3 packages (3.4) instant vanilla pudding
4 cups milk
12 ounces whipped topping (Cool Whip)
Directions:
1.Begin by preheating your oven to 350 degrees F. Spray a 9×13-inch baking pan with baking spray and set aside.
2.In a medium saucepan, bring the water to a boil. Then add the butter and bring to a boil again. Remove from heat and stir in the flour and salt until it is just combined and forms a ball.
3. Transfer the dough to the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment. Add one egg at a time, mixing thoroughly between each addition. After the final egg addition, continue to mix on high for 4-5 minutes until the mixture is smooth.
4.Add the dough to the prepared baking dish. Spray your fingertips with some baking spray and then gently press the dough into an even layer on the bottom of the pan. Bake for 20-25 minutes. The dough will rise, especially up the sides of the pan. Cool completely.
5.In a large bowl, whisk together the instant pudding and milk. Set aside. In the bowl of stand mixer, beat the cream cheese 3-4 minutes until it is smooth. Then mix in the prepared pudding mix. Beat 3-4 minutes until smooth.
6.Spread the cream cheese and pudding mixture into an even layer on the cooled crust. Then top with a layer of whipped topping. Chill overnight or for 2-3 hours before serving.
Enjoy!
Ingredients:
2 large chicken breasts cut into 1 1/2″-2″ chunks, salted lightly
1 1/2 cups of your favorite BBQ sauce
1lb bacon cut into 1″- 1 1/2″ segments
fresh pineapple cut into 2″ chunks
Directions:
1.Combine chicken pieces with 1 cup of the BBQ sauce and marinate for 2-3 hours. (This step can be omitted if you’re pressed for time!)
2.Microwave bacon for 2-5 minutes, depending on the thickness of your bacon and how crispy you like it. Let bacon cool slightly.
3.Using wooden skewers previously soaked in water for at least 1 hour (or metal skewers!) thread chicken, bacon pieces and pineapple in a pattern. The larger pieces of pineapple are easier to skewer. Fold thin bacon pieces over in half and arrange next to the chicken, being careful to not put the bacon pieces too close to anything else, so that they have space to heat up properly to cook.
4.Grill kabobs until chicken reaches 155-160 degrees F. Slather remaining 1/2 cup of BBQ sauce on kabobs when they’re nearly cooked. Cover loosely with foil and let sit for 5-10 minutes before serving.
