Chicken Salad Bundles

So it's been a while since I've posted about food. Mostly because I was back in Vancouver over December and then have been less than inspired this past January. Now I also haven't been doing a lot of meal planning which helps with my inspiration but have got back into it. Partially out of lack of imagination and also because the last few times I have gone grocery shopping I walk out with food, but once I get home I realize I'm missing lots of things or bought necessities but none that work together, or can't make a good or quick meal (unless I include pasta).

So a couple of days ago I meal planned for the first time in about 2 months. I decided last night would be doing the simplest but really yummy Chicken Salad Bundles. A recipe I took from Life Made Delicious website. The are so easy to make and super quick, and perfect for those days when you have no time, or don't feel like spending a lot of time in the kitchen. Throw together with a salad and you're done. Their also good I think for lunch or dinner, and you can always just dress it up with a variety of sides for a more elaborate dinner menu. These bundles work as a great follow up meal to chicken left overs.

So here they are.

Chicken Salad Bundles


Ingredients:

• 1 cup (250ml) diced cooked chicken
• 1/2 cup (125ml) grated Swiss or Cheddar cheese (I used mozzarella, really almost any kind of good grating cheese works well)
• 2 green onions, chopped
• 1/4 cup (50ml) mayonnaise (Olive oil mayonnaise is a personal favourite)
• 1 can (235g) Pillsbury Crescents (obviously you could also make your own dough if you prefer, but buying the can is definitely a time saver)

Directions:

• Heat oven to 375 F (190 C)
• Combine chicken, cheese, green onion and mayonnaise
• Unroll dough and separate into 4 rectangles, pinching perforations to seal. Divide chicken mixture into 4 equal parts, placing in centre of rectangles. Pull 4 corners of dough to top centre of filling, twist firmly to seal.
• Place on ungreased baking sheet. Bake for 11-13 minutes. Serve warm.

I haven't tried it yet but I'm sure you could adjust or add in other ingredients as you experiment with this recipe. I'd try peppers, ham or turkey, etc..

Hope you get a chance to try them. Their delicious and simple. Plus they make your house smell great. :) Pete loves them and there's never leftovers when I make them so definitely worth a try.

Thanks for following.
