Simple Chicken Salad

Posted by katherinechastain in Nov 30, 2009, under Chicken

Ingredients

2 chicken breasts (boiled or left over from another meal)
3 T mayo
1 Stalk of celery
2T diced onion
1 t McCormic Tomato and Basil Seasoning
dash of salt
dash of garlic

Shred the chicken breasts by taking the fork and just pulling gently.  Dice the celery and add it to the chicken.  Add onion and seasonings.  Mix well.  Add mayo.  Refridgerate 1 hour before serving.

NOTE:

the best chicken salad is usually from chicken which has been roasted, baked, or fried.  Left over chicken is great!  Also any piece of the chicken can be used for your taste, breast is used here because they have little fat on them and easy to debone.

1 Chuck Roast
1 cup carrots (baby or peeled and cut)
2 cups potatos (cubed or baby reds)
1/2 tomato, sliced (important)
1 onion (optional for taste)
1 pkg Slow Cooker Beef Stew (yes beef stew)
4 cups beef broth (either canned or from powder)
salt and pepper to taste

Set cooker to high for 4 hours or low for 8 hours.

Place potatos, carrots into the crock pot.  Place the chuck roast on top of vegetables and put the slices of tomatos on top of the meat.  Tomatos tenderize the meat and will dissolve almost completely.  Add onions to taste.  Dissolve the package of beef stew mix into the broth and pour over the meat.  Cover.  After cooking, take a fork and shred the meat and serve either together or seperated.

Posted by katherinechastain in Nov 21, 2009, under Pork

Pork Roll Up.  This can be done with a pork loin or thick pork chops.

1        Pork Loin
1  T    Mrs. Dash or McCormick Tomato and Basil Seasoning
1  T    Garlic Powder
8  oz  Melting Cheese of your Choice

Optional Fillings
Tomatos
Green Onions
Bell Peppers
Anything else you want

Procedure:
Take pork loin and a long sharp knife.  Length-wise, cut in about 1/2 inch deep and then cut along it to make one large, flat piece.  A regular sized pork loin should yield about 3 feet.  Cut into strips suitable for your family’s appetite. Mix together powdered spices and shake on rolled out loin.

Place cheese and sliced/cut up vegetables on pork loin, DO NOT PLACE THEM ON TOP OF EACH OTHER.  Wrap tightly, making sure that the end of the pork loin is touching only pork loin (or it will open up).  Wrap tightly in aluminum foil.  Repeat for the rest of them.

Cooking:
Place the wrapped roll ups on a heated grill for about 20 minutes (for regular sizes or flip for another 10 minutes for large).  Remove from grill for approx. 5 minutes.  Remove alluminum foil and replace on the grill to sear, 3-5 minutes each side.  Remove carefully and serve!
