Chopped Chicken Salad

There's nothing better than a hot summer day and a yummy cool salad for lunch.
Here's what I made yesterday, it was quite tasty. (This is a Hungry Girl recipe found while I browsing the net).
If you make the whole thing, it's a big salad (I'm still enjoying it for breakfast today after having it for lunch & dinner last night).  I highly recommend this dish!

Chicken Enchilada Dip

I made the famous chicken enchilada dip for MOPS this morning and once again, it was a hit. I continually find it puzzling that something so easy inspires such devotedness. Anyway, here's the recipe for those who asked:

Chicken Enchilada Dip

INGREDIENTS
2 cups shredded cooked chicken
1 can (10-3/4 ounces) condensed cream of chicken soup, undiluted
1 cup (4 ounces) shredded cheddar cheese
1 can (5 ounces) evaporated milk
1/2 cup chopped celery
1/3 cup finely chopped onion
1 can (4 ounces) chopped green chilies
1 envelope taco seasoning
Tortilla chips
DIRECTIONS
In a 2-qt. microwave-safe dish, combine the first eight ingredients. Microwave, uncovered, on high for 4-5 minutes; stir. Microwave, uncovered, 3-4 minutes longer or until heated through. Serve with tortilla chips. Yield: 3 cups.

Tastes Like Chicken

Last night, I made a whole chicken in the oven. How incredibly easy! It was juicy and tasty and the kids liked it. And, I have enough chicken left over for another meal later this week. The only bad part was touching the raw chicken skin (yuck) and when I separated the skin from the breast, eeeuuuu. But, it was well worth it in the long run. I will definitely be making this again.

My favorite comment about dinner was from Simon "Hey, this tastes just like chicken!" Yep, right smart little chil'ren I have. :)
