Chicken Salad

Chicken salad reminds me of summer time and it reminds me of girl parties.  Two things I love!  Chicken salad is one of the easiest most versatile recipes.  You basically can't screw it up.  I'll give you the gist of what I put in mine - but go nuts - add and take away what suits your taste buds.
 
Cooked chicken breast - cubed or shredded (You can use canned, rotisserie, I like to
throw my chicken in a crock pot the night before with a few herbs and then shred it the next day.)
Once I shred the chicken I add enough mayo/ miracle whip to make it moist (less is more - you can add more but can't take it away)
I add chopped pecans and red grape halves, as well as chopped celery - these are all pretty standard ingredients, but I also like to add a few spoon fulls of crushed pineapple, that one is not so standard.  i think it adds to the moisture, gives it a little bit of sweetness and is slightly unexpected.
Add spices to taste - salt, pepper, rosemary, etc.
 
This will keep in the fridge for a few days - serve it on sliced rolls or just on bread.

Ravioli Cabonara

This is a tasty, kid friendly weeknight meal.
 
2 Tbsp. Italian Dressing
1 lb. boneless chicken chunks
3/4 c. chicken broth
1 package refrigerated or frozen (thaw) cheese filled ravioli
1/2 c. half and half or cream
4 slices bacon, crispy cooked and crumbled (precooked works too)
Shredded Parmesan Cheese
Chopped Parsley
 
 
In a rimmed large skillet cook chicken with the italian dressing, until brown.  Add broth and ravioli to skillet, heat to boiling - then reduce heat.  Cook uncovered until ravioli are tender and most of the broth is gone.  Stir in half and half (or cream) reduce heat to low.  Add bacon and parmesan cheese, simmer to get sauce to desired consistency.  Sprinkle with parsley and serve.

You maybe thinking about taking a short cut and not making the biscuits from scratch... don't do it!  It wasn't too tough.  You can do this - I promise!
*I did less squash and I added celery too.
