This was not the recipe I had planned for my first post, but I was influenced by compliments for doing exactly what this blog is about--using ingredients on hand. I wanted to take refreshments to a meeting, so began looking in my pantry and freezer. Guess what--groceries a little skimpy this week. I had plenty of boneless skinless chicken breasts and Rhodes yeast rolls. That equals chicken salad sandwiches with yeast rolls instead of plain bread. Every single person at the meeting raved about how delicious the sandwiches were. One person asked what the filling was because she had never had anything like it. Here's what I did:
Cut the chicken breasts into bite size pieces to make grilling faster. (I don't boil chicken--way to bland for me.)
Browned the chicken pieces in a screaming hot skillet.
Seasoned to taste.
Seasoned to taste.
Looked in the refrigerator one more time, saw chopped vegetables left over from the weekend. I threw all the chopped peppers and onions into the skillet to saute'. Allowed the grilled chicken and vegetables to cool.
Combined the chicken, vegetables, pickles, boiled eggs, and mayonnaise in food processor. Once the mixture was ground into a relatively smooth consistence, sliced rolls and filled with chicken salad.
It was the best chicken salad I've ever tasted. I hope you try this and please let me know of any changes you make.
