Buffalo Chicken Salad

I came up with this salad and Dan insists it is the best salad he has ever had. It is really good if I do say so myself. It was just stuff I had so you can always add more.


Tyson Chicken Breast Fillets
Buffalo wing sauce (I use Buffalo Wild Wings mild sauce- it is my favorite)
Tri-Color tortilla strips (found in the salad toppings section)
Shredded Parmesan cheese
Blue cheese or ranch dressing
Lettuce

I cooked the chicken according to the package directions. Then cut them up and tossed them in the buffalo sauce so they were coated. Then put lettuce and baby spinach (I always add baby spinach to my salads, you don't have to). Put some parmesan cheese, tortillas strips, then put the chicken on top. I gave Dan blue cheese dressing and I used ranch but it is just personal preference.
That is it. It was super fast and super easy and so good. If you like buffalo sauce you have to try it!

Garlic Cheese Bread

This is a recipe I got from Chelsea. She got it from a neighbor who gives this out as neighbor gifts at Christmas time. It really is so yummy. The quantities of butter, cream cheese & garlic listed below are half of what Chelsea gave me because I thought it had too much. So technically you are supposed to do a stick of butter, 8 oz. cream cheese & 1 tsp garlic powder. To each her own!!!

1 Loaf of french bread
1/2 stick of soft butter
4 oz. of soft cream cheese
1/2 tsp. garlic powder
1 bag of 3-4 cheese blend
mozerella cheese

Take your loaf of bread and cut it down the middle length ways so you have 2. Mix butter, cream cheese and garlic powder and spread on both pieces of bread. Then put pieces back together and wrap with tinfoil. Place in oven at 350 for about 20 minutes. Then take out and unwrap. Place the cheese on top to your liking. Place on a cookie sheet and put under broiler until cheese is melted.
