5th blog

Since I am kind of a picky eater, I decided to make something simple and to head to market and pick up a few things for a chicken salad sandwich. I thought the farmers market was actually very interesting, especially with all the different vendors. Since I my recipe was pretty simple all I needed was chicken breast, blanched slivered almonds, celery, cranberries and some onions. All the rest like mayo, ground pepper and the other seasoning I used I already had. But the chicken breast I got was skinless and was always boneless. It was interesting getting that kind of chicken because usually I never get breast because I prefer thighs or legs when it come to chicken. I didn’t really get to talk to any of the sellers because I was kind of in the rush, but I do think I will go there again because they had a large variety of different foods that looked good to eat.
So the recipe I made was pretty easy but was the first time I ever made a chicken salad. It was actually really easy, just had to cook the chicken for the most part. Well I cooked the onions as well but the celery, almonds and dried cranberries I just added in. The outcome was a success and the sandwich was very good. I also must say that I will definitely be using the recipe for this dish again. I will even try other recipes for different kind of chicken salad sandwiches.

  1. Way to go for trying another part of the chicken, although why you'd want to put cranberries on a perfectly good chicken sandwich is beyond me! (My family loves craberry and chicken,too). Along with my bok choy I tried arugula, and the turnip greens on a salad turnip. The salad turnips are white and really mild. Not like the icky big ones I was made to eat as a child. I'd buy these again. Back to your chicken salad, I'd be interested in what you find and look forward to hearing from you.
