Warm Italian Chicken Salad

I enjoy making and eating salads, specially chicken salads are my favourite. I have already shared a grilled chicken salad recipe which was my all time favourite. Now this has become my favourite. Not only because it is easy to make but it is really delicious and packed with full of protein and flavours. This is a warm salad so it makes a satisfying one bowl lunch or even dinner.

About this Recipe

Chicken salad refers to any salad that contains chicken as a main ingredient. Mayonnaise, hard-boiled eggs, celery, onion, pepper, pickles, and a variety of mustards are also common ingredients. Town Meats in Wakefield, Rhode Island, served one of the first American versions of chicken salad in 1863. Liam Gray, the original owner, combined his leftover chicken with mayonnaise, tarragon,
and grapes. This became so popular that the meat market was transformed into a delicatessen. Salads in Italian cuisine are typically composed of a variety of fresh vegetables such as tomatoes, onions, cucumbers, lettuce, and peppers, and are usually topped with an Italian dressing.

Ingredients for Warm Italian Chicken Salad

Chicken Breast :
Chicken breasts are prone to drying out when overcooked, so they should be cooked quickly over high heat. Cooking chicken breasts in a skillet, stir-frying, roasting/baking, or grilling are the best options.

Capsicum:
Because of their higher sugar content, red capsic*ms are the sweetest and highest in vitamin C and beta carotene. Orange and yellow capsic*ms contain nearly as much sugar as red capsic*ms, whereas green capsic*ms have a low sugar content due to early picking, which gives them a slightly bitter taste.

Italian Dressing :
In American cuisine, Italian dressing is a vinaigrette-style salad dressing made of water, vinegar or lemon juice, vegetable oil, chopped bell peppers, sugar or corn syrup, herbs and spices (including oregano, fennel, dill, and salt), and sometimes onion and garlic.

You can use the chicken to make quesadilla, add it to soups and salad, You can add it to rice and make a quick fried rice, add it to pastas..The options are pretty endless. The italian dressing has a nice tangy and a little sweet bite to it, which i simply loved. I am sure a dash of that dressing can jazz up the flavours of your plain ol boring salad.

Hope you will give this a try and let me know how it turns out for you.
