Chicken Salad Supreme
Contributed by: News Canada
(NC) - A great way to incorporate more vegetables into a kid approved recipe. With 3 foods groups and a sweet tangy dressing, this meal is a healthier alternative to chicken fingers and fries.
Ingredients:
- 12 frozen breaded chicken fingers
- 1/3 cup (75 mL) Heinz Tomato Ketchup
- 1/4 cup (50 mL) plain yogurt or sour cream
- 2 tbsp (30 mL) mayonnaise
- 1 tbsp (15 mL) Heinz Sweet Relish
- 10 cups (2.5 L) torn Romaine lettuce
- 1 cup (250 mL) each cubed Cheddar cheese and chopped tomato
- 3/4 cup (175 mL) corn kernels
- 1/4 cup (50 mL) each bacon bits and chopped green onion
Directions:
Prepare the chicken fingers according to package directions. Cool slightly; chop into bite-sized pieces.
Stir the ketchup with the yogurt, mayonnaise and relish until well combined.
Combine the lettuce with the Cheddar cheese, tomato, corn, bacon bits and green onion in a large bowl. Add the chicken pieces and salad dressing to taste; toss to combine. Serve immediately.
Twists
For an even healthier version, use crumbled turkey bacon instead of traditional bacon bits.
For added fibre and crunch, top the salad with whole-wheat croutons.
For a leftover solution, use any extra salad dressing as a sandwich spread or vegetable dip.
