That sounds yummy!!! This morning I made a made a quick, simple but tasty chicken salad for tonight's dinner. The recipe was given to me by my OH support group leader and she got it from the restaurant owner where she sampled it. Chicken Salad ~~~~~~~~~~~~ 2 cans drained chicken breast 1 can chopped water chestnuts 2 celery stalks, diced dash or two of soy sauce fresh ground pepper to taste  mayo to your liking Mix all ingredients together and serve on Romaine lettuce leafs.

Hi, Jan!  This sounds yummy - never thought of adding soy sauce to chicken salad, but it sounds interesting.  My "recipe" for chicken salad is similar, except I use equal portions of light or fat-free mayo and either low-fat sour cream or Greek-style yogurt.  The sour cream/yogurt gives it a nice, tangy flavor; just another way to get a slightly different flavor. Anyway, I'm definitely planning to add some water chestnuts and soy sauce to my next batch of chicken salad!  Yum!!! Kellie

Trip was great - lots of interesting panels/programs at convention, loved the road trip, had great weather, very little construction while traveling, ate some great food (Thai and Himalayan were my favorites), did quite a bit of walking, and too much sitting (my tailbone hurts!!!!).  I loved having a week with my girlfriend, too; although we live together, we don't always get a lot of time together between my job and her business, so it was nice to just have time together.  All in all, an excellent adventure Kellie

Yeah Kellie is back!!! Glad you had such a good time, but we missed you! The soy sauce is in place of salt, just make sure you don't put in too much.You can always add more, but can't take out too much my Grandma used to say!  I'm not a water chestnut fan normally, but I do like the little added crunch it brings to this salad.

I missed you guys too - funny how attached we've all become to each other, eh?  Thanks for the reminder about the salt - I would have wound up making a double batch to fix the oversaltiness!!!   I like the crunch of water chestnuts, but had never thought about adding them to chicken salad.  I think I'll really like it -  Kellie

Where is the microphone my turn to sing....ahhhummm Just kidding that would just not be right if I were to sing!    Anyhow here is a recipe for something I usually just throw together and thought I was so inventive ha ha.   Actually I add chicken or turkey sausage or ground beef after it has been browned/cooked in another pan.  Or use stewed or chopped tomatos  and of course add garlic - yes yes lots of garlic!!!  Quck and easy especially with the chicken sausage since most are packaged already cooked!

 Low Calorie Beans, Tomatoes & Zucchini one 16 ounce can of whole tomatoes one 20 ounce can of white kidney beans, drained 2 cups of  zucchini, sliced thin Salt & freshly ground pepper to taste

 

Empty tomatoes into saucepan; break up tomatoes with fork. Stir in beans and zucchini. Heat to boiling. Reduce heat, cover and simmer until zucchini is crisp-tender, 10 to 15 minutes. Season with salt and pepper to taste. 8 servings (3/4 cup each). 75 calories. 0 fat. 0 cholesterol. 5 grams protein. Enjoy!
