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!

One of the things I added was my new bedding that I got from @lushdecorhome. Let me tell you, it is so luxurious. This is the 3 piece Belgian Flax Linen Rich Cotton Blend Bedspread. It is so soft and gets softer with each wash. 
💕
I have a tall bed and the ruffles just reaches the floor. The bedding is filled with cotton that gives the bedspread such a comfy feel. The bedspread is perfect for the summer, as it is lightweight, but warm enough to keep you cozy in the winter. The set comes with two pillow shams and the bedspread. It also comes in 4 colors.

I love my new bedding, it’s so feminine and simply beautiful. I couldn’t be happier. Swipe the photo to see how happy Sully is on the bedding.

Hi Everyone! I shared the reel to my Summertime ta Hi Everyone! I shared the reel to my Summertime tablescape with @JCPenney + #AllAtJCP + #sponsored +#ShoppingIsBack but you know how I love still photos better. I think you can really see the details of the decor.

💛

I am loving how simple, fresh and light my tablescape feels. It’s the perfect look I was going for. When the idea came for creating a tablescape, I was unclear of what direction I was going for until I shopped at JCPenney. I walked around the decor department and was completely inspired. They had so many styles and colors that would inspire you too.

💛

I saved a highlight of my shopping trip to JCPenney. You must check it out. I’ll be honest, I was blown away by the styles, quality and prices of there store. I will be shopping there quite frequently and you know I will take you along my journey.

💛

What is the style of your home?

💛

PS. Everything on my table is from JCPenney and it is the Linden Street Collection.

My inspiration was my new pillows that I got from @downlitebedding. The name of the pillow says it all “Ahhhhhmazing™ down alternative pillow” and they are amazing.

The pillows are so soft, plush and are hypoallergenic. They are easily molded so you position your neck, head and arms. The pillows are also washable and OEKO-TEX® Certified Textiles Are Certified Free Of Harmful Chemicals.

I’ll be honest, Downlite Bedding are the only pillows that I sleep with. They are fabulous and will last for years. I highly recommend them. They won’t disappoint you. Downlite Bedding was nice enough to give my followers a 20% off discount code to there shop: DYGEN20.

Hello! I have to tell you that I love summer. It’s my favorite season. I love the sun, hot weather, shirts and flip flops. I could just spend all day outside.
🌻
One of my favorite things to do in the summer besides gardening is going to the Farmers Market. There is something about the atmosphere with people walking around with bags in hand, the smell of kettle corn and everyone is so happy. 
🌻
Besides the atmosphere, you can’t beat the freshly grown produce. It’s mind blowing how different it tastes, then what you get in the store. You almost forget what a strawberry is suppose to taste like until have it at the Farmers Market. Plus you are supporting your community. It’s a good feeling all around. 
🌻
I highly recommend going to the Farmers Market and pick up so corn. Soooooo good!! Stock up on your fruits and veggies and freeze it for winter.

I’m sharing with you my last photo of my peonies. I’m so sad that they didn’t last. I got about 6 days from them. I guess that’s means I need to go to Trader Joe’s and get more before peony season is over.
🌸
Do you have any summer vacation scheduled this year?

Happy Monday!! It’s back to work for me. I’ll Happy Monday!! It’s back to work for me. I’ll be counting down to my next vacation, which will be the week of the 4th of July. I will tell you, it felt so nice not having any plans and doing work in the garden.
🌻
This weekend I finally made it to the Farmers Market and I picked up these amazing sunflowers. They are such a happy flower. 
🌻
When I got them, I couldn’t resist doing a flowers in the sink photo. I haven’t done one of these since Fall. Now I may have to go back to the Farmers Market next weekend because they had so many flowers and most were only $4.00 a bundle.

Do you you like to go to the Farmers Market?

Happy Friday! My vacation is officially over and I Happy Friday! My vacation is officially over and I pretty much spent the whole week working in my garden, so I apologize for all the flower photos. 
🌸
This is a view of my fenced in garden. The flowers on the left are zinnias, and next to them is beardtongue and in the background, butterfly bush.  In about a month or so, this background will pop with lots of orange from my Mexican sunflower and yellow from the black eyed susan. I just hope my black eyed susan’s make it. They are struggling. 
🌸
I have to say I have been enjoying working in the garden. It’s therapy to me. It just makes me feel good to sit back and see all your hard work start to bloom. I can’t wait to see what the garden looks like a month.
🌸
What do you like to do that you consider your therapy?
