Hey gals, I actually have a reporter coming to my house tomorrow for lunch to talk about our new Farmgirl Chapter, the Snoqualmie Valley Farmgirls! Wow! What do you think? I want to treat her to some great Farmgirl fare, but I also am home with the kiddos all morning, so it can't be too time consuming either. Ideas? Recipes? Help!
PS I don't have any budget mix or a good pan for a bakeover, otherwise that would be a slam dunk! |

I wonder if it would be just as good without the croutons and the fruit- I am low carbing right now. thanks for the recipe.

Debra, here is the chicken salad recipe:
Hot Chicken Salad
2 cups croutons, toasted
2-1/2 cups diced, cooked chicken
1 cups of diced celery
1-1/2 cups grated sharp cheddar cheese
1/4 cup pecan pieces, chopped and toasted
2 tablespoons minced onion
dried currants, cherries or golden raisins to taste
3/4 cup mayonnaise
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
Combine half of the croutons with all the remaining ingredients. Turn into baking dish and cover with remaining croutons. Bake at 350-degrees for 35 minutes. May be prepared ahead, but if so, do not put croutons in until baking time.
Great for a luncheon or light supper with a congealed or fruit salad and rolls
Serves 6.
Can you tell it's from the south? Congealed salads...so very bridgeclub :)

I'm with Jenny--I make a warm chicken salad that has currants and pecans,cheese,mayo,onion and celery (and some other stuff I can't remember) and Oh boy--you just bake it till it's warmed through. I'm hungry for it now! Like Jenny, I put it on croissants, or another type of lighter bread.
I served that for a bridal brunch and it was a hit--easy, carefree and yummy. Get some really good bibb lettuce for your samiches, too :)

I like to do nice chicken or crab salad sandwiches on croissants. (add something extra to the salad like chopped cashews or water chestnuts for crunch) a couple pretty pickles or veggies on the side and some homemade lemonade or like that and you are all set.

What about a nice hearty soup that you could put in the crock pot and be done with? Like Clam Chowder or Potato Soup? Maybe serve it in Bread Bowls?

How about some sort of "fancy" but easy tea sandwiches...foo foo chi chi but yummy and easy....
I like grape tomatoes, feta cheese, red onion tossed in a vinagrette.
Cheers,

When I have gal pals over for lunch, I always serve a nice salad - mixed salad greens with herbs, chopped apple, dried cranberries, walnuts and grilled chicken on top. Oh and maybe a little feta cheese.
