Caprese Chicken Panzanella Salad #WeekdaySupper #ChooseDreams

July 30, 2014 By Jennifer @ PB and P Design 21 Comments

Hi Everyone,

Today for #WeekdaySupper we team up with American Family Insurance to share with you Family Healthy Fit Lifestyle.  You know I am all about trying to lead a healthy lifestyle, and it’s pretty easy  I have to admit, however sometimes you can give into temptation.  But with temptation, all you have to do is start over!  Nothing wrong with that!  Some of the things I personally do to lead a healthy lifestyle is have a healthy breakfast, like a protein shake, salads for lunch and a good dinner that contains, healthy fat, protein and carbs.  As for exercising, I have making an effort to go for an after dinner walk, walk during lunch and try to squeeze in some strength training.  I think all in all that’s pretty good!  Plus when you do these kind of things others are bound to follow.  So for my #WeekdaySupper I am sharing with you one of my all time favorite salads, Caprese Chicken Panzanella Salad.
Caprese Chicken Panzanella Salad
I have to tell you I love this salad! Probably one of my top 10 favorite salads of all time. It’s made with tomatoes that I picked from my garden, mozzarella cheese, fresh basil, chicken and bread. I love everything caprese style and it’s one flavor combination I could never get sick of.
Caprese Chicken Panzanella Salad
The salad is a breeze to whip together. The first thing I did was bake my french bread in a little olive oil. While that was baking, in a bowl I added my tomatoes, chicken, and basil. Give it a toss and then add the bread. To keep it moist I drizzled on some olive oil. I let the flavors mend together for a little bit and served it with one of my favorite ingredients, balsamic glaze. I love the stuff!! I put it on just about everything. Yum, yum!

A light, refreshing caprese style salad with chicken, tomatoes french bread, basil and mozzarella cheese. Perfect for a main dish or served as a side dish.
Serves: 10 cups
Ingredients
  • 1 9 oz loaf french bread baguette or sour dough or Italian
  • 3 tbsp. olive oil, divided
  • 4 cups cherry tomatoes
  • 8 oz mozzarella balls
  • 6 oz chicken, cooked, cut up into bite size pieces
  • 1 bunch basil leaves
  • balsamic glaze
Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees
  2. Cut bread in half horizontally. With a pastry brush, brush 2 tablespoons olive oil on both sides of the bread. Cut the bread into bite size pieces and place on a baking sheet. Bake in oven for 8 -10 minutes until golden, flipping a couple of times. Let the bread cool.
  3. Meanwhile in a bowl, add tomatoes, mozzarella, chicken, basil and 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Mix until combined. Toss in bread. Drizzle with balsamic glaze.
  4. Refrigerate until ready to serve.
  5. Note: I added the balsamic glaze directly to the served salad to prevent the salad from getting soggy. The salad is good the next day too.

Caprese Chicken Panzanella Salad
I just love the caprese style food. One of my all time favorite combinations is tomatoes, basil and mozzarella cheese. Pop in some chicken for protein and you have the perfect meal. I love this salad so much I ate it 3 days in a row. It tasted just as good as the first day I served it.

    Omg yum!! I have been craving a cheesy Italian salad. This looks absolutely delicious! I can’t wait to try it. I adore afternoon walks too! I despise the gym for a start. On the other hand, I really cherish the fresh air, sunshine and freedom to walk about for exercise without feeling like a hamster on a treadmill! Walking is good for the soul.
    P.S. I have only just found your blog and I am in love with it. Your photography is mouth wateringly good…you are added to my blogroll. I am so excited to start keeping up with you 🙂

Happy Thursday! Let me tell you if @downlitebeddin Happy Thursday! Let me tell you if @downlitebedding is looking for a spokes dog, Samuel wants the job! I kid you not, he is obsessed with everything Downlite Bedding! He even has his own comforter that he sleeps on every night! 
🐾
I received some new pillows from Downlite Bedding called the Primaloft Renew Pillow which is perfect for back and side sleepers. They are so soft to touch, slightly firm, machine washable. As you can see Samuel loves them. It put him right to sleep. 
🐾
Downlite Bedding gave my followers a 20% discount code: DYGEN20. Now to try to get my pillow back from Samuel.

The Kissing Booth sign is reversible and the other side says kissing booth, kiss me I’m Irish with green writing and green lips. I’ll share the other side in stories. It’s so cute!

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!
