Chicken and Bacon Chopped Salad

September 12, 2013 By Jennifer @ PB and P Design 15 Comments

Hi Everyone!

I am writing this post in advance, but I want to tell you, WOW, we have a wicked fire on Mt. Diablo which is about 30 miles from my house.  The sky is red, and full of smoke.  Even being 30 miles away, we have ashes in our yard.  I feel so bad for the people who have to evacuate.  I hope no one’s homes get ruined or that no one gets hurt.  The weather has been crazy here!  It’s been in the 100’s, slight breeze and no rain.  The fire started from a grass fire and has gone out of control. This is happening on Sunday, so my guess by the time you read this post it will be over with, I hope!!  I thought I would share, since that is what is on my mind.  Now onto bigger and better things, today’s recipe!   More bacon!  My gosh this is my 3rd bacon recipe this week!!  I never eat this much bacon, ever!  But I have leftovers and what do you do with leftovers?  Make more things!!!

Chicken and Bacon Chopped Salad

I originally thought I was going to just make some BLT sandwiches for dinner, then I noticed that someone, I wonder who? Has been sneaking pieces of bacon. So by the time dinner came around I was left with a few pieces. And since I made this on Sunday, I tend to make salads on Sunday because it’s my way getting a head start on Monday! You know trying to eat healthy! So I thought why not a salad with bacon? I have chicken that had to be used. I had one day left before expiration and you know what has staring at me on my counter for like two months? McCormick Bacon Molasses Seasoning! Have you ever used this seasoning? My friend at work LOVES it! She told me you get a bacon taste without the calories. Sold! I found it at my grocery store and bought it. I have been meaning to use it, but I just forgot. Big mistake on my part. I finally used it with today’s recipe and it is fantastic. You really get a nice, almost smoky bacon taste. Plus no calories!! Love it! I took a picture of the packaging for you.
McCormick Grill Masters
I marinated my chicken in greek yogurt and sprinkled on the seasoning and let it marinate for a couple of hours. The chicken has come out so moist and juicy with the most wonderful smell and taste. Have you tried marinating chicken in greek yogurt? If not, do it!!! I promise, it will be one of the most moist chicken ever!!! You don’t taste the yogurt at all! Trust me! My picky Husband HATES yogurt and won’t touch it and he even admits it’s the best chicken! So do it!!!
Chicken and Bacon Chopped Salad
The salad is made with finely chopped romaine lettuce, tomatoes, corn and avocado. Oh and of course left over bacon from yesterday’s pancake recipe. I placed the salad in front of my Husband and you know he’s not a salad fan and he looked at it and said “Oh my God!” This is a pretty big salad!  I of course ate it all and my Husband left a pinch, but ate 95% of it! Honestly I was shocked that he ate it. It has avocado on it and he’s not an avocado fan.  Silly man!  But then again it had bacon on it and he loves bacon! So Ladies, if you want your man to eat salad, throw on some bacon!! 🙂
Chicken and Bacon Chopped Salad
For dressing, I didn’t make any. I used a fat-free balsamic dressing and my Husband used a lite Italian dressing. I honestly think ranch dressing would be amazing on this salad. Just be sure to get a light ranch dressing or make your own by taking plain greek yogurt, ranch seasoning packet and a pinch of milk; mix together and you have a nice ranch!  I do that all of the time and sometimes I mix BBQ sauce in it to!  Oh yum!!

Chicken and Bacon Chopped Salad
Wow, I just read the nutritional stats on this salad and I can’t believe all of the fiber and protein in it! This makes a great low carb salad. I’m glad I made it!  It kind of reminded me of the BLT sandwiches I was going to have for dinner, but this is way better and healthier for you.  I am trying to cut back on the bread this week.  I’m having food issues and bread is one of the culprits that I keep eating, so this week, I didn’t buy any and it will be too hot to make any!  Good thing!!  Let’s see how it goes this week.  can I go tone week without bread?  Hmmm, now this is a challenge!  Do you have a certain food that you can’t resist?  Something that you can’t say no too?  I’ll tell you, I can give up chocolate and peanut butter forever, but not bread!  I just love it too much!!!  Sigh….

Well that’s it for me today!!  Were almost to Friday!  Woohoo!


Have  a great day!

Toodles,

Jennifer

    Having lived in southern California (where I grew up) and having wildfires come close to where my sisters were living (one still is), I have at least a small clue of how scary those things are. I really hope it gets nowhere near you, because 30 miles isn’t much when dealing with wildfires. I wish I could send you some of our rain. We’ve been needing it desperately, but it’s been raining pretty steadily and pretty hard for a couple of days now. My husband and I and the tour group we were leading, came close to getting in the path of a small flash flood yesterday at the park where we volunteer. It’s scary seeing how fast the water gathers when it’s coming down off a lot of rocks. Stay safe!

    Jennifer this is likely a stupid question. Do u wipe the yogurt off before grilling or leave it on? Thanks for your help.

      Hi Marla, Sorry for the delay in answering you. I was at work today. You do not need to wipe the yogurt off. Just leave it on the chicken. it will make it super moist. Enjoy!

Happy Wednesday! This past weekend I did a little Happy Wednesday! This past weekend I did a little furniture rearranging in my dining room. I decided to move my kitchen cart to the opposite side of my room, and I love it in its new spot. 
🍂
If you remember, I fixed the nail holes in this wall, so I could hang a normal picture. I love how centered my nail is. lol It’s the little things.
🍂
Now before anyone says anything. I covered my light switch with my picture. I never use it, so it doesn’t effect me. 
🍂
Speaking of pictures, how gorgeous is my sign from @krumpetshomedecor? It’s a fabulous size and I am calling it the moving sign. If you watched my reel last week, you will see that I used the spider side of the sign in my kitchen. I thought the fall side would be perfect in my dining room. Now I actually plan to move the sign again to my living room when I bring out the Fall bins. I have an idea in my head.
🍂
This little area of my home is what I am calling my transition from summer to fall. I have a little bit of rich end of summer colors with natural woods and my leaves. 
🍂
The falling leaves reversible sign is the Krumpets Home Decor deal of the week. Plus you get an additional 10% off with code: PBANDP. Link in my bio.
🍂
What is your favorite Fall color?
.
PS. I think I got the big C 🦠. So I’ll be slow getting back to you.

Hello Everyone! I have to apologize for not to get Hello Everyone! I have to apologize for not to getting to everyone’s comments yesterday. I am still working on them. I was a little overwhelmed yesterday. Typical Monday. Plus to boot my husband got the big “C”🦠 So I have been dealing with that. 
🌼
I thought I would share with you a very simple way of styling a bowl. It would be beautiful on an entry, console or dining room table. The bowl is from the Targets Studio McGee line.
🌼
Hope you have the best day.

Happy Monday! I know this is not decor, but today Happy Monday! I know this is not decor, but today is Samuels 1st birthday. I couldn’t resist showing his first year on Earth.
🐾
If you remember, I didn’t want another dog when Sampson passed last August, but Samuel was a blessing in disguise. He has helped me heal. 
🐾
I will be back tomorrow with decor. Have a wonderful Monday!

Happy Wednesday! I have to tell you that I am so e Happy Wednesday! I have to tell you that I am so excited that we put the dog crate away. It took up so much room in the kitchen and now it looks so open. I just wish my kitchen was wide enough for an island.
👻
I didn’t lose my mind decorating for Halloween. However @krumpetshomedecor is having there Fall and Halloween launch. So much fun! The sign above the door is the Krumpets Home Decor deal of the week. It is a gorgeous one. I just love both sides. I used the Halloween side right now  because it matches my coffee bar. Plus I feel that way when people come to my home with my dogs. lol

Happy Tuesday! I thought I would share one last lo Happy Tuesday! I thought I would share one last look at the guest bathroom before the Fall season arrives. Pretty soon it will be filled with pumpkins.
💙
I actually have not changed any of the decor in the bathroom since February of this year. I love how it looks and didn’t want to change it.
💙
The plants in the tub were in my living room, but with having puppies, they were eating them and they are poisonous, so I put them in the tub and they have survived and doing well.
💙
The rug on the floor is from @studiomoutdoor. It’s a vinyl rug that is so perfect for cleaning up after the dogs. Plus they don’t eat these rugs! Yes, they have eaten all the rugs in my house, except for the dining room rug. Sigh….
💙
Do you have a room in your house that you don’t want to redecorate because you like it the way it is?

Happy Monday! Boy this weekend flew by and I didn’t get much done around the house. Though I am slowly starting to put away some summer stuff. 
🍋
But before putting away the lemons, I had to do a summer tiered tray. I haven’t made a tiered tray in months. I love how light and bright it is. It matches my kitchen nicely.

Happy Friday Eve! So happy it’s almost the weeke Happy Friday Eve! So happy it’s almost the weekend. This Saturday we have to take the dogs to the vet. Oh man! That’s a thing. The dogs drop dead on the driveway and refuse to go in the car. They do this going there and back. It’s a comedy scene, and so embarrassing. Not fun! lol
💙
I put together a little vignette for my kitchen counter. You are probably thinking, she always shares the kitchen. It’s because I do my day job at the kitchen counter and I get all these new ideas in my head and I just have to share. 
💙
I am loving the blue with the yellow and the green. It feels light and fresh. I also love my new candle from @candleberrycandle the scent is Bergamot Amber. It maybe my favorite scent from the collection. The scent is a mix of blue amber and oak with a vibrant burst of citrus and exotic florals. 
💙
Now through July 22nd Candleberry is having a pre-sale on the new Nouveau candle line. The official launch is August 1st. If you sign up for emails you get 15% off. 
💙
Disclosure: do not burn your candles under your cabinets. I did this to show the candle. I always burn my candles in an open area.

What are your weekend plans?

Happy Wednesday! I am excited to finally share wit Happy Wednesday! I am excited to finally share with you my coffee bar. I kept starting to decorate it, then I’d get stuck and then the season would change and there it would sit for months bare. lol
☕️
I love the new look. It’s simple, has what we need and looks light and fresh. My husband actually noticed and said it was his favorite coffee bar yet. Then brings up how he hates the white fluffy stuff I use on the shelves for Christmas. I told him, I’m using the snow again this winter. He gives me the look.
☕️
The Coffee sign is from @krumpetshomedecor. It’s reversible and I think the perfect addition to my coffee bar. The color and style go fabulous with my decor pieces. 
☕️
The sign is also the Krumpets Home Decor deal of the week. Plus you get an additional 10% off with code PBANDP. The link is in my bio.

What is your favorite type of coffee?

Hi Everybody! Happy #tiptuesday. I am sharing with Hi Everybody! Happy #tiptuesday. I am sharing with you a simple way to make your floral displays last longer. I learned this trick from a local florist.
🌸
Ingredients:
4 cups of water (1 liter)
3 tbsp. Sugar
2 tbsp. Distilled Vinegar

Add sugar and vinegar to water. Stir until dissolved. Add flowers. Try to take off as many leaves as possible.
🌸
The sugar nourishes the flowers and the vinegar will stop bacteria growth.
🌸
After I put this arrangement together, I decided to take out the yellow flowers and cut the bouquet down a little. I think it looks better. I bought these flowers from the farmers market.
