Chicken, Apple and Sweet Potato Salad

October 11, 2013 By Jennifer @ PB and P Design 11 Comments

Hello, hello!

Happy Friday to you!! Today I have another quick meal that can be made in less than 10 minutes!  It’s so simple, yet so tasty and it’s so Fall season.  Since I am running out of time, with deadlines to meet, not only is this meal quick, so is this post!  🙂  So let me share with you my wonderful Chicken, Apple and Sweet Potato Salad.
Chicken, Apple and Sweet Potato Salad
This salad is healthy, loaded with flavor and I love it! It’s made with mixed salad greens, chicken, apples, grapes, sweet potato, cranberries and goat cheese. Oh yum!! Funny, when I made the sweet potato, I peeled it and it was white on the inside. I saw the dark color of the skin and I know the darker the skin the sweeter it tastes. However, I guess I grabbed a Chinese sweet potato because of the white color. It still tasted good, so don’t let the photos fool you, the white in the salad are my taters! 🙂
Chicken, Apple and Sweet Potato Salad
Since we are talking sweet potatoes, let me share with you my cooking shortcut. I peeled my potato, cut it into bite size pieces, place in a small bowl, covered the potatoes half way with water. Covered with plastic wrap and baked in the microwave for two minutes. Than I stirred it and baked for another minute and a half. In 3 1/2 minutes my potatoes were done. I drained the water, let it cook for a couple of minutes and then added it to my salad.
Chicken, Apple and Sweet Potato Salad
For the chicken I cheated! I bought a rotisserie chicken from my grocery store. Measured my chicken and placed it on the salad. For the dressing I used a simple balsamic dressing. I love the Whole Foods fat-free balsamic dressing. Only 20 calories per two tablespoons. With all these quick short-cuts, dinner really took me a couple of minutes. I served this salad with a chunk of french bread. I know it’s not wheat bread, but I love french bread and it was fresh and warm.  I couldn’t resist!

Chicken, Apple and Sweet Potato Salad
I just love this salad and would make for a great lunch too! The salad may seem small, but it packs a lot of nutrition and fiber so it will keep you full for hours!! No nighttime snack for me! 🙂

Hope you don’t mind some of the quick meals this week, but as usual time is going way to quick!  I am sure you feel the same way!  Can you believe it is, 74 days till Christmas.  Here is the Christmas Clock so you can keep track yourself.

Have a great weekend! I am looking forward to next weeks posts and I can’t wait to share my recipes with you!

Toodles,


Jennifer

Happy Tuesday! One thing you guys know about me is Happy Tuesday! One thing you guys know about me is that I love Target. It’s my happy place. I get so excited each season to see all the new things that come out. 
🌿
One thing I always love is there faux vase/pot flowers and plants. They are always so pretty and I want to buy them all. But there a couple of things that stops me. The biggest one is that I have no storage for them. Two, they seemed to have gone up in price. They seemed a little pricy to me. 
🌿
For my arrangement, I used one of my canisters for the bathroom. I used floral foam to stick the stems in and I used the paper towel as a filler because I only had very little bit of moss. If I had more moss and I would probably not use the paper towel. This arrangement cost me $5.99. 
🌿
Tip: If you look at Targets faux foliage stems only, they have a lot that are same of what use in there vases. The one I used was Hearth and Hand and was only $5.99 for a stem. The exact ones they used in there pots.
🌿
Hope you enjoy this as much as I have making it. 
Enjoy your day!

Happy Thursday! As you may know I did my deep clea Happy Thursday! As you may know I did my deep cleaning in my kitchen on Monday. I washed the floors, cabinets, counters and decluttered the countertops. It feels so good and everything is so bright and clean. Well….
💖
My husband decided to take vacation days this week, and my kitchen does not look so pretty. He has his 💩 everywhere. So annoying. 
💖
Here’s a little bit of the styling that I did. I will work on the coffee bar this weekend, though I’m running a blank on how to style it. I need some inspiration.

What do you do to get inspiration?

I’m sharing heart shaped cinnamon rolls that I made this weekend. I got the idea to make them from my friend Heidi @eleanorrosehome. She made the most delicious looking cinnamon rolls, that I couldn’t resist to make. So perfect for Valentines Day and sooooo easy! 
❤️
I took a can of Trader Joe’s cinnamon rolls and unraveled them, if that makes sense, and rolled them up like a palmier cookie. So fun! You could add food coloring to the frosting to make it pink and add sprinkles. Super cute! You can follow step by step recipe on Heidi’s Instagram page! 
❤️
Thank you Heidi for sharing the recipe. This was so fun!
❤️
Would you rather get chocolate or flowers for Valentines Day?

I’m sharing with you my corner of my living room. I love how open this space looks. I added greenery to give it a fresh look. I also stuck with mostly natural colors with an exception of some blues to bring my whole living room together. 
🌿
Tomorrow I am going to start to share Valentines Day. My dining room is filling up with hearts. It’s so fun. I can’t wait to start sharing. Hope you have a beautiful day!
