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 Monday! I’m sharing with you a rare view o Happy Monday! I’m sharing with you a rare view of my kitchen. What’s so rare about it! It’s clean. 🤣 
.
So this weekend our refrigerator broke. The freezer no longer works and the fridge is not getting cool enough. Ugh!! We bought our Whirlpool refrigerator about 4 years ago and spent near $3000 for it. It sure didn’t last long. 
.
After reading reviews on a million refrigerators, they all seem like crap. I need your help! Do you have a refrigerator that you recommend? 
.
I saw a Frigidaire one that we are debating on, but not sure? The reviews are good, but says, they were collected from a promotion. So I’m not sure how much I trust that? Anyway, any recommendations that you have would be great! 
.
Have a great day!

I have been decorating the house for Easter and Spring. I love how this little space turned out. I am loving the bright pastels. I added my new bunny/chick pillow that I got from @12timbers. It matches so perfectly and it’s so cute. I also couldn’t resist the chick pillow from Target.

Have the best day!

Hi Everyone! I hope you had a great weekend. I mus Hi Everyone! I hope you had a great weekend. I must say I was disappointed in the Super Bowl. I really wanted the 49ers to win. Anyway, this weekend I refreshed my guest bathroom.
🐰
I have to say my new favorite item is the towel holder. It’s so cute and practical. I don’t have a hand towel rack and I hated leaving my towels on my counter. I saw the towel holder from Target and had to get it. It’s the Hearth and Hand brand.
🐰
I added some bunnies for Spring and a touch of pink for some color. The hand towels are from Homegoods. They have so many bunnies and Easter decor. I had to control myself because I was with my husband. I may go back. 
🐰
Have a great day!!

Happy Monday!! I have to confess to you. I still h Happy Monday!! I have to confess to you. I still have Christmas in my kitchen.😳 I don’t know where to put it, so I haven’t taken it down. It’s not a lot, but just enough to where I can’t fit it. Ugh!  Please tell me I’m not the only one. 
💕
I did do one little spot for Valentines, which I think is so cute. I love decorating with Valentines candy. I can’t resist the pinks and the conversation hearts. I do not plan on going all out decorating this season, as time is going so fast, but I may add some hearts here and there. 
💕
Do you decorate for Valentine’s Day?

Hi Everyone! With spring around the corner, now is Hi Everyone! With spring around the corner, now is the time to get your chores done, so when the warmer weather arrives you can enjoy it. My goal is to refresh my bedroom. I am slowly getting rid of stuff that I no longer need and slowly adding new decor. So hopefully in a few weeks it will be done. #twopageshome
♥️
The first thing I added are these stunning customized curtains that I was gifted from @twopagescurtains. Guys, I’m in love! The curtains are just so pretty! I am loving the way it shades the sun, but still lets the light in. Exactly the look I was going for.
♥️
The curtains I chose are the “Liz Linen Drape Soft”. They are a linen curtain that is environmentally friendly, hypoallergenic, long lasting, dust preventative, and breathable. They are also wrinkle free. I didn’t have to steam them. They came right out of the package ready to hang. They also come in 38 colors and 7 shadings to choose from. There is an option for everyone.
♥️
I’ll be honest I was intimidated on ordering custom curtains. I was so afraid I would order them wrong, but I didn’t. Two Pages has a measurement finder that asks you a few easy questions and boom you have your custom curtain size. It was so simple.
♥️
If you are looking for some new curtains or shades for your home, I highly recommend Two Page Curtains. I absolutely love them. They were kind enough to give my followers an 8% discount code: PBANDP. Link in bio
♥️
Are you planning on refreshing any spaces?

Happy Friday! Hope you had a wonderful holiday sea Happy Friday! Hope you had a wonderful holiday season. I am slowly working on taking my Christmas decor down. I still have my tree up, but I love the twinkling lights, and the real reason is I need my husband to get the box out of the garage. lol 
💙
I am going with blues in the living room. I just find blue calming and peaceful. The first area I styled is the coffee table. Sorry about the views. I have a small, thin living room.
💙
I decided to go light on the decor and add some fresh faux greenery. I hate leaving the remote controls out, so I decided to store them in a decorative box. Everything here, but the white box was bought at Target. 
💙
Have a wonderful weekend!

Hi Everyone! Hope you had a wonderful Christmas. I Hi Everyone! Hope you had a wonderful Christmas. It was low key for us, as it was just my husband and I. We had dinner at my daughters house on Christmas Eve. That was nice. 
🎄
I am sharing my last view of my living room before I take down my Christmas decor. I will leave some of the winter type greens, but I think I’m going to add some blues. I have always liked blue after the holidays. It just gives the room a light and clean look.
🎄
I want to say sorry for lack of posting. It’s just so time consuming engaging. I hate spending countless hours on my phone. It has made me physically lazy and it hurts my eyes. I have put on so much weight because all I do is sit. I really need to change this habit. Anyway! I hope you have a wonderful day!!!
